The inhabitants can endlessly argue about the benefits and harms of antibiotics on all kinds of online forums and other resources, however, doctors have no disagreement on this score. They clearly know that these drugs are a real salvation in cases of infectious infections. To date, antibiotics are available in several groups, each of which is effective against certain microorganisms. The most popular drugs are a wide spectrum of action. Ciprinol also belongs to them. The instructions for it are replete with a large number of medical terms, so patients most often look for available information about him on the Internet. If the doctor prescribed you this drug, then first of all focus on his recommendations, and then on the instructions for use. Today, our entire article is devoted to Ciprinol. From it you will learn a lot of information about this antibiotic, which, unfortunately, is little known to the total mass of patients.
We describe the drug
If you focus on the instructions for use and reviews of "Ciprinol", then you can understand that it is described as an antimicrobial agent with a wide spectrum of action.
It very quickly and easily penetrates the tissues of the body. The active substance of the drug acts at the cellular level and enters the respiratory tract, cerebrospinal and seminal fluids, breast milk, adipose tissue and so on. Thus, the antibiotic neutralizes most of the microorganisms that have fallen into various systems of human life.
It is noteworthy that the drug acts on microbial cultures from several sides. It literally from the first days of intake suppresses the fermentation of bacteria, which causes the destruction of the DNA chain. As a result, division stops, and all the microbial life processes slow down.
I would like to note that the instructions for Ciprinol indicate the group of the drug. Antibiotics related to it have been known to humans since about the middle of the twentieth century and have the widest possible spectrum of action. Today, it is these drugs that are gaining wide popularity due to their ability to suppress the activity of almost all known microbial cultures.
Brief description of the action of the drug
From the reviews of “Ciprinol” (the instructions for the drug are enclosed in each package), it is difficult to understand exactly how the medicine works when it enters the human body. We will tell readers about this in the most accessible and easy to understand language.
We have already mentioned how the drug neutralizes the microbes that cause various diseases. Therefore, in this section we want to list the categories of microorganisms sensitive to the action of this antibiotic.
First of all, gram-positive aerobes fall into this group. This category can be described by bacteria such as staphylococci and, for example, anthrax bacilli.
Judging by the instructions, "Ciprinol" is very effective in the fight against gram-negative aerobes. This group is quite extensive and includes a long list of microorganisms. Among them are gonococci, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa , meningococci and Burkholderia. On average, this category includes more than thirty bacteria.
Also, this composition is successfully prescribed in the treatment of certain infections caused by anaerobic bacteria and other pathogens. These include mycoplasma and chlamydophilus.
A feature of the action of the drug is the rapid adaptation of microorganisms to it. They develop persistent insensitivity to Ciprinol, which makes the treatment completely ineffective. Therefore, the drug is always prescribed for a short period of time. Doctors strongly advise not to interrupt therapy, because otherwise the medicine will not work in the future.
Release Forms
The instructions for use "Ciprinol" lists in detail all the forms of release available for sale. The drug is intended for oral administration and injection, however, in these groups there are several types of this antibiotic.
First of all, I want to consider Ciprinol tablets. The instructions enclosed in the carton contain their description and dosage. If we describe them in general, we can say that each tablet has a film shell of a white or yellowish hue. Depending on the concentration of the active substance, it may have a round or oval shape. All tablets have a bulge on both sides and a notch for ease of division. The instructions for Ciprinol 500 mg, 750 mg and 250 mg indicate that blisters are packaged in a cardboard box. Each contains ten tablets.
Injection solution is sold in pharmacies in a ready-made form and as a concentrate. The concentrate is a liquid of different colors. Allowed white and greenish-yellow tint. Also, the antibiotic may have a clear color.
The finished solution, depending on the dosage, looks like a clear or greenish-yellow liquid, packaged in ampoules of one, two, and four hundred milligrams.
The composition of the antibiotic
From the instructions to "Ciprinol" you can get information about its composition. It is described in a fairly understandable and simple language. All forms of release contain the same active substance - ciprofloxacin. In tablets, its dosage is, according to the instructions for Ciprinol, 250 mg, 500 mg and 750 mg. Each vial of the concentrate contains ten milligrams of ciprofloxacin, and in one milliliter of the solution - two milligrams of the main active ingredient of the antibiotic.
There are also a lot of auxiliary components in the preparation, and in tablets and solution they differ significantly. If we are talking about Ciprinol tablets (the instructions for 500 mg and other dosages of the drug are identical), then additional components can be given in the form of the following list:
- talc;
- magnesium stearate;
- titanium dioxide;
- sodium carboxymethyl starch;
- cellulose;
- povidone.
In the concentrate, auxiliary components are lactic acid, water for injection, hydrochloric acid and the like. In addition to ciprofloxacin, the solution includes sodium chloride, sodium lactate and water for injection.
Diseases in which a prescription for Ciprinol is prescribed
The instructions for use for tablets and ampoules for injections always provide a list of problems in which the drug will be effective. It is worth considering that all of the listed diseases belong to the category of infectious and are divided into several groups. We can list at least ten subspecies of infections that can be treated with the antibiotic we are describing. The most common are the following groups:
- Respiratory diseases: bronchitis of different course, pneumonia and fibrosis.
- Tonsil inflammation and otitis media.
- Urinary problems in men and women.
- Diseases of the reproductive system and infections of the pelvic organs: gonorrhea, endometritis, prostatitis, chancroid and so on.
- Peritonitis, cholecystitis.
- Diarrhea caused by various pathogens: typhoid fever or enteritis, for example.
- Infections of the epidermis, including abscesses of different origin.
- Infectious infections of the musculoskeletal tissue. Such problems are considered one of the most difficult, purulent bone lesions and arthritis caused by pathogenic microorganisms fall into this group.
Often, referring to the instructions and reviews for "Ciprinol" (500 mg, 750 mg, 250 mg), the medicine is prescribed as a preventive measure for patients suffering from reduced immunity due to certain diseases. Also effective in the treatment of sepsis and peritonitis.
Contraindications: overt, relative and additional
The instructions for use of Ciprinol (500 mg, as well as other dosages) list health problems that will prevent you from taking an antibiotic. They can be divided into several groups, because for certain diseases, tablets can still be drunk, but with the condition of constant monitoring of the state of the body.
The absolute problems for taking Ciprinol 500 (instructions for use contain all the necessary data and information on this issue) include the following problems:
- An allergic reaction to the components of the drug. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, the substances contained in the medicine cause the most unpleasant reaction of the body. Therefore, at the slightest suspicion of an allergy, the administration of tablets should be stopped immediately.
- HB and pregnancy. During these periods, women should refuse to take any potent drugs, including antibiotics. They can be prescribed only in the most emergency cases after a thorough analysis of the possible risks to the health status of the mother and her child.
- Children under the age of eighteen should not take the drug. Judging by the reviews, the antibiotic is a very powerful drug, which can have a serious negative effect on the fragile body of a child.
The listed contraindications apply to all forms of drug release, but there are additional restrictions regarding only the antibiotic in the form of a solution for injections. It can not be used for persons with pseudomembranous colitis and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. If you have been diagnosed with such problems, then the doctor will most likely prescribe a tablet form of the drug.
Relative contraindications are those factors that should make the attending physician pay great attention to the patient. These include:
- Problems with cerebral circulation and various mental illnesses. If the patient suffers from atherosclerosis, epilepsy or seizures, then taking pills can aggravate his situation and cause an exacerbation of chronic diseases.
- Elderly age. People over sixty years of age react differently to taking potent drugs, which include antibiotics, therefore, when prescribing Ciprinol, their condition must be closely monitored.
- Renal and liver failure.
In rare cases, the patient may not be aware of contraindications to the use of tablets or antibiotic injections. Therefore, if you are taking Ciprinol, then be sure to monitor your condition.
Side effects
Instructions for use with Ciprinol tablets (including 500 mg) and other forms of the drug contain a complete list of side effects that may occur as a result of taking the medicine. I would like to note that not all patients experience at least one adverse reaction, but it is still necessary to know about them in order to feel something was wrong and consult a doctor.
Each of the systems of the human body can respond to pills or injections in its own way. For example, from the digestive system, reactions such as nausea, vomiting, a marked decrease in appetite and flatulence occur. Sometimes, while taking antibiotics, the development of hepatitis is diagnosed. This happens to people who have previously had any kind of liver infection.
Patients often complain of headaches, tremors, fainting, and depression. In severe cases, the nervous system can react with regular insomnia, depression, hallucinations and increased intracranial pressure.
Some patients noted constant tinnitus, decreased vision, and changes in smell and taste preferences.
Reactions from the cardiovascular system are faced by those patients who have certain diseases. They may experience tachycardia, heart rhythm disturbances, and hot flashes.
Allergy is manifested in a small number of patients taking an antibiotic. It is expressed in various skin rashes and itching. In advanced cases, it can lead to pulmonary and laryngeal edema.
In general, patients during the treatment period may experience general weakness, drowsiness, and excessive sweating.
Instructions for use
Reviews about "Ciprinol 500" on the Internet are quite numerous, because most often doctors prescribe patients treatment in the form of tablets. Therefore, it is easy to understand how it is necessary to take this drug. Despite the fact that the doctor always draws up an individual treatment regimen, there is a general one, which is given by the manufacturer of the drug.
In case of kidney and urinary tract infections, the patient is usually prescribed a dosage of two hundred and fifty milligrams twice a day. If the disease is already running or has complications, then the number of doses is left unchanged, and the dosage is increased to five hundred or seven hundred and fifty milligrams. The duration of therapy will be determined only by a specialist.
Diarrhea can be treated with two tablets of two hundred and fifty milligrams.
Gynecological infections, prostatitis, enteritis and some other diseases require a higher concentration of the active substance. Therefore, in their treatment, a dose of 500-750 milligrams is prescribed, which must be taken in the morning and evening.
If the patient is diagnosed with respiratory problems, the treatment regimen is identical to that given for kidney infections.
With gonorrhea, taking tablets is a single dose. Typically, in such cases, the dosage ranges from two hundred and fifty to five hundred milligrams of the active substance.
Quite often, an antibiotic is prescribed as a preventive measure after surgery. In these situations, the dosage is quite high, since it is necessary to prevent the possibility of infection. Disease prevention involves taking the drug every other day.
Injection
Ciprinol is administered only intravenously, regardless of what the doctor uses - a ready-made solution or concentrate. Patients feel best at administering an antibiotic with a dropper. In this case, the process takes from thirty minutes to an hour. If necessary, it is also possible to enter the body by injection.
Most often, in the treatment of infectious diseases, a dosage of two hundred milligrams is prescribed in the morning and evening. If the disease progresses, it is possible to double the dosage. In this case, the course will be from one to two weeks. If, according to the results of the analyzes, the treatment outcome is not positive, then it is possible to extend the use of the drug for another ten days.
Like tablets, with gonorrhea, the drug is administered once. The dose is only one hundred milligrams of the active substance.
In case of surgical intervention, the drug is prescribed before all manipulations. About one hour before surgery, two hundred to four hundred milligrams of an antibiotic is administered to a patient. This amount is quite enough to exclude the ingress and reproduction of pathogenic microbes in the human body.
Analogues of the drug
In the instructions for use, analogues of "Ciprinol" are not indicated, but sometimes it is they who are searched for by patients for whom the original composition did not fit for one reason or another. If you are in search of such medicines, then keep in mind that they are budget and quite expensive.
The first category is Quintor. It costs in pharmacies from fifty to one hundred and twenty rubles and is considered one of the most powerful, but most effective. It is made in India.
Also, low-cost analogues include Tsiprolet and Tsifran. Their cost ranges from fifty to four hundred rubles, but the spectrum of action is not as wide as that of the original.
A more expensive drug is Tsiprobay. It acts on a large number of microorganisms and on average costs about five hundred rubles. You can also successfully replace “Ciprinol” with “Tacip”. This medicinal composition is made in India and is characterized by the fact that bacteria very rarely develop resistance to it.
If you refer to the reviews of patients taking Ciprinol, then the medicine can be called very effective and relatively safe.
