Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Mechanism of action
The medicinal product contains ciprofloxacin from the class of quinolones. The bactericidal action of quinolones, which mainly affects the synthesis of bacterial DNA, is expressed by inhibiting DNA gyrase.
Ciprofloxacin has high activity in vitro against most gram-negative microorganisms, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is also effective against aerobic gram-positive microorganisms, such as staphylococci and streptococci.
Susceptibility to microorganisms
Use in ophthalmology
Both in vitro and in clinical use in eye infections, it has been proven that ciprofloxacin is active against most strains of the following organisms.
| Aerobic gram-positive microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-sensitive and methicillin-resistant strains); Staphylococcus epidermidis; Staphylococcus spp., other coagulase-negative species Staphylococcus spp., including S. haemolyticus and S. hominis; Corynebacterium spp.; Streptococcus pneumoniae; Streptococcus group Viridans. |
| Aerobic gram-negative microorganisms: Acinetobacter spp.; Haemophilus influenzae; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; Moraxella spp. (including M. catarrhalis). |
Use in otology
Ciprofloxacin has high activity in vitro against most aerobic gram-negative microorganisms, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is also effective against aerobic gram-positive microorganisms, such as staphylococci and streptococci.

Limit values of microbial growth inhibition zones
Use in ophthalmology
Ciprofloxacin has been shown to be active in vitro against most strains of the following microorganisms; however, the clinical significance of these data in ophthalmic infections is unknown.
| Aerobic gram-positive microorganisms: Bacillus species. |
| Aerobic gram-negative microorganisms: Acinetobacter calcoaceticus; Enterobacter aerogenes; Escherichia coli; Haemophilus parainfluenzae; Klebsiella pneumoniae; Neisseria gonorrhoeae; Proteus mirabilis; Proteus vulgaris; Serratia marcescens. |
| Others: Peptococcus spp.; Peptostreptococcus spp.; Propionibacterium acnes; Clostridium perfringens. |
Insensitive species
Some strains of Burkholderia cepacia and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia are resistant to ciprofloxacin, as well as some anaerobic bacteria, especially Bacteroides fragilis.
Preclinical safety data
Ciprofloxacin and other quinolones cause the development of arthropathy in young animals of most species studied after oral administration.
Clinical characteristics
Indications
Corneal ulcers and superficial eye infections (eyes) and their appendages, caused by bacterial strains sensitive to ciprofloxacin.
Acute otitis externa, as well as acute otitis media with drainage through a tympanostomy tube, caused by bacterial strains sensitive to ciprofloxacin.
Contraindications
Increased sensitivity to ciprofloxacin, other quinolones, and/or excipients of the medicinal product.
Interaction with other medicinal products and other types of interactions
No interaction studies were conducted.
Special warnings and precautions for use
General
The medicinal product is intended for local use (in the conjunctival sac or in the external auditory canal).
For eye drops
Clinical experience with ciprofloxacin eye drops in children under 1 year of age, especially newborns, is quite limited.
For ear drops
