The mechanism of action of ciprofloxacin is the inhibition of bacterial DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II), which disrupts DNA replication and synthesis of bacterial cellular proteins, which leads to the death of the microorganism.
After ingestion, ciprofloxacin is easily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract (mainly in the duodenum and colon) and distributed in organs and tissues of the body (excluding fat-rich tissues), enters the pleura, peritoneum, lymph, ocular fluid and placenta.
The maximum concentration of ciprofloxacin in blood serum is reached in 1,5-2 hours, therapeutic concentration remains within 24 hours after oral administration of drug.
Ciprofloxacin is excreted from the body mainly in unchanged form and partly in the form of metabolites in urine and bile, in lactating animals also with milk.
Tsiprolak by the degree of impact on the body refers to moderately dangerous substances (hazard class 3 according to GOST 12.1.007-76), in the recommended doses does not have a local irritant and resorptive-toxic effect, has no embryotoxic and teratogenic properties.
