Ciprocin eye drops 5 ml
Tradename
Ciprocin (Ciprocin)
Compound:
Each ml of solution contains:
Ciprofloxacin 3 mg
Auxiliary components:
Benzalkonium chloride 0.06 mg.
Properties
A broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, a fluoroquinolone derivative.
Suppresses bacterial DNA gyrase (topoisomerases II and IV, responsible for the process of supercoiling of chromosomal DNA around nuclear RNA, which is necessary for reading genetic information), disrupts DNA synthesis, growth and division of bacteria; causes pronounced morphological changes (including the cell wall and membranes) and rapid death of the bacterial cell.
It acts bactericidal on gram-negative organisms during dormancy and division (because it affects not only DNA gyrase, but also causes lysis of the cell wall), on gram-positive microorganisms — only during the period of division.
Indications
