Eye: Bacterial Conjunctivitis, Keratitis, Blepharitis, Corneal ulcers, Dacryocystitis. Ear: Otitis externa.
Mode of Action:
Ciprofloxacin interferes with bacterial DNA related processes like replication, transcription, DNA repair, recombination, transposition, supercoiling and relaxation of DNA. The target molecule for quinolones is the A sub-unit of bacterial enzyme gyrase (topoisomerase II). The forming of a stable complex between the quinolone and the whole gyrase tetramer A2B2 leads to impaired enzyme functions, resulting in a rapid killing of sensitive bacteria.
