Ciprofloxacin has in vitro activity against a wide range of gram-negative and gram-positive microorganisms. The<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MECHANISM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>of action of quinolones, including ciprofloxacin, is different from that of other antimicrobial agents such as beta-lactams, macrolides, tetracyclines, or aminoglycosides; therefore, organisms resistant to these drugs may be susceptible to ciprofloxacin. There is no known cross-resistance between ciprofloxacin and other classes of antimicrobials. Notably the drug has 100 times higher affinity for bacterial DNA gyrase than for mammalian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No Information<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ABSORPTION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ciprofloxacin -Rapidly and well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. The absolute bioavailability is approximately 70% with no substantial loss by first pass metabolism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">METABOLISM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ciprofloxacin -Hepatic. Four metabolites have been identified in human urine which together account for approximately 15% of an oral dose. The metabolites have antimicrobial activity, but are less active than unchanged ciprofloxacin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ELIMINATION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ciprofloxacin -Approximately 40 to 50% of an orally administered dose is excreted in the urine as unchanged drug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HALF LIFE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ciprofloxacin -4 hours,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TOXICITY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ciprofloxacin -The major adverse effect seen with use of is gastrointestinal irritation, common with many antibiotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FOOD INTERACTIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>avoid alcohol<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SIDE EFFECTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ciprofloxacin -Belly pain.
