Directions for use and dosage
The medicine Tsiprolet is prescribed by the attending physician and writes a prescription for it. The dosage, regimen and duration of treatment depend on the type of infection, severity of the disease, body condition, body weight and age of the patient, and kidney function. There are recommendations for use in the instructions, but these are only general rules. Only a doctor will determine the exact course of treatment based on tests and examination results of the patient.
Tsiprolet tablets
According to the instructions, this form of medication is taken orally before meals on an empty stomach, washed down with plenty of liquid. The doctor prescribes individually the duration of treatment and dose based on clinical indications, taking into account the type of infection, age, weight of the patient and the severity of the condition. There is the following standardized dosage regimen according to the instructions for use:
- for urinary tract and kidney infections: 2 times a day for uncomplicated form, 250 mg, severe form - 500 mg;
- for gonorrhea, take 250 or 500 mg once;
- infections of the lower respiratory tract: 2 times a day, 250 mg for moderate severity and 500 mg for severe;
- complex course of gynecological infections, colitis, enteritis, prostatitis, osteomyelitis: 2 times 500 mg per day;
- for diarrhea, take 250 mg 2 times a day.
On average, the course of treatment lasts 7-10 days until complete recovery, but after the signs of pathology disappear, you need to take the medicine for another 2-3 days. In the presence of severe renal dysfunction, the dosage of the drug is reduced by 2 times. The dose in case of chronic renal failure directly depends on CC (creatinine clearance):
- above 50 ml/min – standard dose;
- 30-50 ml/min – 1 time 250-500 mg at 12 hours;
- 5-20 ml/min – once every 18 hours, 250-500 mg;
- during dialysis, 250-500 mg is prescribed once every 24 hours.
Drops Tsiprolet
This form of medication is used for local treatment by instilling the medication into the conjunctival sac of the infected eye. The recommended dosage according to the instructions is as follows:
- for moderately severe, mild infection: 1-2 potassium every 4 hours;
- severe form of infection: 2 drops every hour, after the condition begins to improve, the frequency of use and dosage should be reduced;
- for a bacterial corneal ulcer, 1 drop is dripped according to the following scheme: 1st day - every 15 minutes for 6 hours, then only during wakefulness every 30 minutes; 2nd day – every hour while awake; Days 3-14 – every 4 hours.
Solution for infusion
The medicine is used intravenously - intravenous drip. According to the instructions, it is possible to mix Tsiprolete solution with 0.9% sodium chloride, 5%-10% dextrose, 10% fructose, Ringer's solution. When prescribing use, one must take into account the type of infection, clinical indications, weight, age, patient conditions, and concomitant diseases.

- moderate infections - 200 mg 2 times a day for 7-14 days;
- severe infections - 2 times a day, 400 mg for 7014 days;
- acute gonorrhea – 100 mg once;
- prevention of infections after surgery - 1 hour before surgery, 200-400 mg of Tsiprolet.
Tsiprolet
Suction
Both ciprofloxacin and tinidazole are well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. Eating slows down absorption, but does not change the maximum concentration or bioavailability.
Distribution
Tinidazole.
Bioavailability - 100%, plasma protein binding - 12%, Tmax after oral administration - 2 hours, Cmax after oral administration of 500 mg - 47.7 mcg/ml.
Ciprofloxacin.
Bioavailability - 50-85%, Vd - 2-3.5 l/kg, plasma protein binding - 20-40%, Tmax after oral administration - 60-90 min, Cmax after oral administration 500 mg - 0.2 mcg/ ml.
Metabolism and excretion
Tinidazole
penetrates into the cerebrospinal fluid in a concentration equal to that in plasma and is reabsorbed in the renal tubules. T1/2 - 12-14 hours. Tinidazole is metabolized in the liver with the participation of the cytochrome P450 (CYP3A4) enzyme system. About 50% is excreted in bile, 25% in the kidneys, and 12% in the form of metabolites. It is reabsorbed in the renal tubules.
Ciprofloxacin
penetrates well into fluids and body tissues (excluding fat-rich tissue, such as nervous tissue). Concentrations in tissues are 2–12 times higher than in plasma. Therapeutic concentrations are achieved in saliva, tonsils, liver, gall bladder, bile, intestines, abdominal and pelvic organs, uterus, seminal fluid, prostate tissue, endometrium, fallopian tubes and ovaries, kidneys and urinary organs, lung tissue, bronchial secretions, bone tissue, muscles, synovial fluid and articular cartilage, peritoneal fluid, skin. It penetrates into the cerebrospinal fluid in a small amount, where its concentration, in the absence of inflammation of the meninges, is 6-10% of the serum, and with inflammation - 14-37%. Ciprofloxacin also penetrates well into the ocular fluid, bronchial secretions, pleura, peritoneum, lymph, and through the placenta. The concentration of ciprofloxacin in blood neutrophils is 2–7 times higher than in blood plasma. Activity decreases slightly at pH values less than 6. Metabolized in the liver (15–30%) with the formation of low-active metabolites (diethylciprofloxacin, sulfociprofloxacin, oxociprofloxacin, formylciprofloxacin). T1/2 - about 4 hours. It is excreted mainly by the kidneys by tubular filtration and tubular secretion in unchanged form (40-50%) and in the form of metabolites (15%), the rest - through the gastrointestinal tract. A small amount is excreted in breast milk. Renal Cl - 3–5 ml/min/kg; total Cl - 8–10 ml/min/kg.
In special cases
The pharmacokinetic parameters of tinidazole in patients with chronic renal failure (creatinine Cl above 22 ml/min) do not differ from those in healthy people.
For ciprofloxacin in chronic renal failure, T1/2 increases to 12 hours. In chronic renal failure (creatinine clearance above 20 ml/min), the percentage of the drug excreted through the kidneys decreases, but accumulation in the body does not occur due to a compensatory increase in the metabolism of the drug and its excretion through the gastrointestinal tract.
special instructions
To avoid the appearance of possible negative reactions from the central nervous system, patients with a history of epilepsy, vascular pathologies, organic brain lesions, according to the instructions, can be prescribed Tsiprolet only for health reasons. If prolonged, severe diarrhea develops during treatment, pseudomembranous colitis should be excluded. If it is confirmed, then the use of the tablets must be immediately discontinued.
There is a risk of inflammation and tendon rupture due to the use of Tsiprolet (solution or tablets). At the first manifestations of pain, tenosynovitis, it is necessary to stop treatment. Parenteral and oral use of the drug must be accompanied by the consumption of a sufficient amount of fluid if normal diuresis is diagnosed. It is recommended to avoid direct sunlight during treatment.
You should not wear contact lenses while treating your eyes with drops. It is forbidden to drip the product subconjunctivally or into the anterior chamber of the eye. If there are other ophthalmic solutions in the treatment regimen, the break between procedures should be at least 5 minutes. During treatment using Tsiprolet, it is not recommended to drive vehicles or machinery.
Side effects of Tsiprolet drops
The medicine is well tolerated by all groups of patients. But sometimes various undesirable reactions from certain organs and systems can be observed.
Itching and burning may occur in the affected organ. Conjunctival hyperemia is noted. Quite rarely, the eyelids swell, tear production increases, and visual acuity decreases. Such symptoms are most often observed with bacterial ulcers and keratitis.
Some allergic reactions may also develop, accompanied by itching and severe redness of the eyes, and the addition of symptoms of intoxication. The development of superinfection and infectious complications of the eyes is possible.
During treatment, you cannot drive a vehicle independently, since visual acuity decreases, which contributes to the inhibition of normal psychomotor reactions necessary in emergency situations.
Drug interactions
The treatment regimen is drawn up by the doctor, taking into account all factors, including compatibility with other medications. It should be taken into account that when taking Tsiprolet simultaneously:
- The concentration of theophylline in the blood plasma may increase, increasing the risk of toxic effects;
- didanosine reduces the absorption of cirpofloxacin;
- drugs containing zinc, aluminum, magnesium, iron and antacids can reduce the absorption of ciprofloxacin; it is necessary to maintain a pause of 4 hours between doses of these drugs;
- NSAIDs (except acetylsalicylic acid) increase the likelihood of seizures;
- cyclosporine increases nephrotoxic effect;
- other antimicrobial medications (metronidazole, clindamycin, beta-lactams, aminoglycosides) provoke synergistic action;
- uricosuric drugs increase plasma concentrations of ciprofloxacin;
- absorption of ciprofloxacin is accelerated by metoclopramide;
- the effect is enhanced and the bleeding time of indirect anticoagulants increases.
To treat individual pathologies, combinations of agents that positively complement each other can be used, for example:
- infections caused by Pseudomonas spp: ceftazidime, azlocillin;
- staphylococcal pathologies: vancomycin, isoxazolylpenicillins;
- streptococcal infections: beta-lactam antibiotics, azlocillin, mezlocillin;
- anaerobic infections: clindamycin, metronidazole
.

pharmachologic effect
Tsiprolet is an antimicrobial drug from the fluoroquinolone group.
The mechanism of action of ciprofloxacin is associated with the effect on DNA gyrase (topoisomerase) of bacteria, which plays an important role in the reproduction of bacterial DNA. The drug has a rapid bactericidal effect on microorganisms that are both in the stage of rest and reproduction.
The spectrum of action of Tsiprolet includes the following types of gram-negative and gram-positive microorganisms:
E.coli, Shigella, Salmonella, Citrobacter, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Serratia, Hafnia, Edwardsiella, Proteus (indole-positive and indole-negative), Providencia, Moprganella, Yersinia, Vibrio, Aeromonas, Plesiomonas, Pasteurella, Haemophilus, Campylobacter, Pseudomonas, Legionella, Neisseria , Moraxella, Branhamella, Acinetobacter, Brucella, Staphylococcus, Sreptococcus agalactiae, Listeria, Corynebacterium, Chlamydia.
Ciprofloxacin is effective against bacteria that produce beta-lactamases.
Sensitivity to ciprofloxacin varies among: Gardnerella, Flavobacterium, Alcaligenes, Streptococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus pneumonia, Streptococcus viridans, Mycoplasma hominis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium fortuitum
Most often resistant: Streptococcus faecium, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Nocardia asteroides.
Anaerobes, with some exceptions, are moderately sensitive (Peptococcus, Peptostreptococcus) or resistant (Bacteroides).
Ciprofloxacin has no effect on Treponema pallidum and fungi.
Resistance to ciprofloxacin develops slowly and gradually; plasmid resistance is absent. Ciprofloxacin is active against pathogens resistant, for example, to betalactam antibiotics, aminoglycosides or tetracyclines.
Indications
Treatment of uncomplicated and complicated infections caused by pathogens sensitive to the drug:
- respiratory tract infections. For outpatient treatment of pneumococcal pneumonia, ciprofloxacin is not a first-line drug, but it is indicated for pneumonia caused, for example, by Klebsiella, Enterobacter, bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas, Haemophilus influenzae, bacteria of the genus Branhamella, Legionella, Staphylococcus;
- infections of the middle ear and paranasal sinuses, especially if they are caused by gram-negative bacteria, including bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas, or staphylococci;
- eye infections;
- kidney and urinary tract infections;
