THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Antibacterial Agent
ACTIONS AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Ciprofloxacin, a synthetic fluoroquinolone, has a bactericidal mode of
action. This action is
achieved through inhibition of DNA gyrase, an essential component of
the bacterial DNA replication
system. Inhibition of the alpha subunit of the DNA gyrase blocks the
resealing of the nicks on the
DNA strands induced by this alpha subunit, leading to the degradation
of the DNA by exonucleases.
This bactericidal activity persists not only during the multiplication
phase, but also during the
resting phase of the bacterium.
Ciprofloxacin retained some of its bactericidal activity after
inhibition of RNA and protein synthesis
by rifampin and chloramphenicol, respectively. These observations
suggest ciprofloxacin may
possess two bactericidal mechanisms, one mechanism resulting from the
inhibition of DNA gyrase
and a second mechanism which may be independent of RNA and protein
synthesis.
Ciprofloxacin
and
metronidazole

serum
levels
of
ciprofloxacin are not significantly altered by metronidazole at the
doses studied. Serum levels of
metronidazole when administered orally at a dose of 500 mg q6h in
combination with ciprofloxacin

COMPARATIVE BIOAVAILABILITY

volunteers. The rate and
