Description
Pharmacological action
The drug has a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory property, has a wide spectrum of antimicrobial activity, highly effective against most gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms, including chlamydia, mycoplasma, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as strains resistant to methicillin and gentamicin. The main mechanism of action of ciprofloxacin is the inhibition of bacterial DNA gyrase (topo-isomerase) – the X enzyme, resulting in the destruction of the DNA structure and the death of bacteria. Ciprofloxacin also violates the membrane of the bacterial cell, which leads to the release of cellular contents into the intercellular space. Ciprofloxacin quickly eliminates R-plasmids, which prevents the development of microorganism resistance to the drug. When instilled, it reaches a steady therapeutic level in the tissues of the eye.
