MODE OF ACTION:
In vitro studies have shown that the antibacterial action of Quintor
(Ciprofloxacin) results
from the inhibition of bacterial DNA gyrase.
Quintor
(Ciprofloxacin)
does
not
cross-react
with
penicillins,
cephalosporins,
aminoglycosides or tetracyclines and organisms resistant to these
antibiotics are generally
sensitive to Quintor (Ciprofloxacin).
