Composition

Each 100 ml of infusion contains:

• Ciprofloxacin 200 mg

Therapeutic Indications

Cipro-A Injection 200 mg/100 ml is indicated for the treatment of infections caused by susceptible bacteria, including:

• Complicated urinary tract infections and pyelonephritis

• Severe respiratory tract infections, including pneumonia and bronchitis exacerbations

• Gastrointestinal infections such as typhoid fever and bacterial diarrhea

• Skin and soft tissue infections

• Bone and joint infections

• Intra-abdominal infections including peritonitis

• Septicemia and other systemic bacterial infections

• Situations where oral administration is not possible or effective

Mechanism of Action

Ciprofloxacin acts by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes critical for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, and repair. By interfering with these enzymes, the drug prevents bacterial proliferation and induces bacterial cell death. Its bactericidal activity and broad-spectrum efficacy make it highly effective in managing serious and systemic infections.

Key Benefits

• Broad-spectrum antibacterial coverage

• Rapid systemic action via intravenous administration

• Effective in severe and complicated infections

• Useful for patients unable to take oral antibiotics

• Clinically validated safety and efficacy profile

Dosage and Administration

The dosage and infusion rate of Cipro-A Injection 200 mg/100 ml depend on the severity and type of infection, patient age, body weight, and kidney function. It should be administered under strict medical supervision. The infusion is usually given over 30 to 60 minutes to prevent rapid administration-related side effects. Adequate hydration is recommended during therapy to prevent potential renal complications. Transition to oral therapy may be considered once the patient’s condition stabilizes.

Safety and Precautions

Cipro-A Injection should be used with caution in patients with a history of tendon disorders, epilepsy, cardiac conditions, or central nervous system disorders. Serious side effects may include tendonitis, tendon rupture, peripheral neuropathy, or hypersensitivity reactions, though these are rare.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, and local irritation at the injection site. Patients should be monitored for allergic reactions or unusual symptoms during therapy.

Drug Interactions

Ciprofloxacin may interact with antacids containing magnesium or aluminum, iron supplements, calcium products, zinc preparations, theophylline, warfarin, and certain antiarrhythmics. Careful monitoring or adjustment may be required when used concomitantly with these drugs.

Use in Special Populations

• Elderly patients: May require monitoring due to increased risk of tendon and CNS-related side effects.

• Patients with renal impairment: Dose adjustment is necessary.

• Pregnancy and lactation: Use only if clearly indicated and under medical supervision.
