Suction

With topical application of the drug, ciprofloxacin penetrates well into the eye tissue. After a single instillation, the concentration of ciprofloxacin in the moisture of the anterior chamber of the eye is reached after 10 minutes and is 100 μg / ml. Cmax in the moisture of the anterior chamber after 1 hour is 190 μg / ml. After 2 hours the concentration of the drug begins to decrease, while its antibacterial action in the tissues of the cornea is kept up to 6 hours, in the moisture of the anterior chamber - up to 4 hours.

After instillation, systemic absorption of the drug is possible.

When treated for 7 days with application of 4 times / day in both eyes, the average concentration is less than 2 ng / ml.

Excretion

With local application of T1 / 2 from the plasma is 4-5 hours. The drug is excreted by the kidneys in unchanged form - up to 50%, and in the form of metabolites - up to 10%; through the intestine - about 15%.

Some part of the drug is excreted in breast milk.

Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and manage mechanisms

Immediately after application of the drug, it is possible to reduce the clarity of vision and slow the psychomotor reactions, which can reduce the ability to engage in potentially dangerous activities that require increased attention (especially with simultaneous use of alcohol).

Side effects:

From the side of the organ of vision: immediately after instillation - a feeling of slight burning during 1-2 minutes, itching, soreness, hyperemia of the mucous membrane of the eye; the possibility of an allergic reaction, eyelid swelling, photophobia, lacrimation, foreign body sensation in the eye, an unpleasant aftertaste in the mouth immediately after instillation, decreased visual acuity, the appearance of white crystalline precipitate in patients with corneal ulcer, keratitis, keratopathy, staining or infiltration of the cornea, development of superinfection.

Suggested Use:

The drug is prescribed 1-2 drops in the conjunctival sac of the affected eye. The frequency of instillations depends on the severity of the inflammatory process.

With acute bacterial conjunctivitis, simple, scaly and ulcerative blepharitis, Cipromed is prescribed 4-8 times / day, depending on the severity of the inflammatory process. The course of treatment is from 5 to 14 days.

In keratitis, the drug is prescribed 1 drop at least 6 times / day. If there is a positive effect, the duration of therapy depends on the severity of the corneal lesion and is usually 2-4 weeks.

When a corneal lesion is caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, tsipromed is prescribed 1 drop at least 8-12 times / day. The duration of therapy depends on the course of the disease and is usually about 2-3 weeks.

With anterior uveitis, the drug is prescribed 1 drop 8-12 times a day.
