Compound

1 bottle contains active ingredients:

Excipients: ascorbic acid, sodium bicarbonate, sucrose, aerosil, flavor.

Pharmacological properties

Ciprocolin is a complex drug, the therapeutic effect of which is due to the synergistic effect of the active components of the drug: ciprofloxacin and colistin sulfate.

Ciprofloxacin belongs to the group of fluoroquinolones. The mechanism of action of ciprofloxacin consists in inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase, which interferes with the process of DNA replication, thereby disrupting the integrity of the bacterial cell membrane, which leads to its death. Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride rapidly eliminates R-plasmids, which prevents the development of resistance of microorganisms to the drug.

The drug is active against gram-negative and gram-positive microorganisms, and especially against E. coli, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Enterobacter spp., Klebsiella spp., Proteus spp., Serratia spp., Campylobacter spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Yersinia spp. Vibrio spp., Aeromonas spp., Haemophilus spp., Are also sensitive to the drug: Brucella spp., Staphylococcus spp. (including strains producing penicillinase and methicillin-resistant strains), Mycoplasma spp., Mycobacterium spp., Chlamydia spp.

With oral administration of the drug, ciprofloxacin is rapidly absorbed from the alimentary canal, entering the bloodstream, penetrating into all organs and tissues of the body, reaching a maximum concentration after 1-2 hours, the therapeutic concentration is maintained for 24 hours. Ciprofloxacin is excreted from the body of the animal with urine and bile.

Colistin sulfate is an antibiotic of the polymyxin group, which is synthesized by the aerobic spore-forming bacillus Bacillus polymyxa. Colistin sulfate has a bactericidal effect on gram-negative bacteria (E. coli, Salmonella spp., Pasteurella spp., Haemophilus spp., Bordetella spp.).

Colistin sulfate binds to phospholipids of the cytoplasmic membrane, enhances its permeability to both intra- and extracellular components, which leads to the destruction of the bacterial cell.

After oral administration, colistin sulfate is slightly absorbed from the alimentary canal. Unlike low concentrations of colistin sulfate in serum and tissues, high and constant concentrations of colistin sulfate are always present in different parts of the digestive tract. Colistin sulfate is excreted in the faeces of the animal.

Application

The drug is used for therapeutic purposes in dogs and cats with acute and chronic bacterial infections, the causative agents of which are sensitive to ciprofloxacin and colistin (infections of the digestive tract, respiratory tract, biliary tract, genitourinary system, skin and soft tissues, eyes and ears, bones and joints); and with secondary infections against the background of viral diseases.

Dosage

Before using the drug, a solution is prepared from the powder. To do this, 100 ml of drinking water at room temperature (up to the mark) is poured into a bottle with a powder and vigorously shaken until the powder is completely dissolved.

The required amount of the resulting solution is drawn up with a dosing syringe.

The resulting solution is administered orally to dogs and cats in doses: 1 ml per 1 kg of animal body weight 1 time per day. The course of treatment is 3-5 days.

Before each next use, the bottle is shaken vigorously.
