In the article we will look at the instructions for use of Tsiprolet drops.
Are they ear or eye? Let's figure it out.
This is an antibiotic intended for local use and showing increased activity against many pathogenic microorganisms. "Tsiprolet" is prescribed to eliminate the inflammatory process in the eyes caused by harmful bacteria. The drug is low-toxic, which makes it possible to prescribe drops to children over the age of one year. This antibiotic is relatively safe and rarely causes adverse reactions, especially when applied topically. In general, the drug is intended for the eyes. But Tsiprolet drops are also used in the ears.
Properties
This substance has a pronounced antibacterial effect and affects many pathogenic microorganisms. The spectrum of action of ciprofloxacin is quite wide. The substance has no analogues in nature and is not an antibiotic in the full sense of the word, as it differs in chemical composition. The drug is prescribed for the treatment of infectious pathologies caused by infection with gram-negative or gram-positive bacteria.
The use of Tsiprolet drops is advisable in cases where pathogens of the pathological process demonstrate resistance to other antibacterial substances. When used topically, it is possible to prevent immunological adverse reactions to the drug.
The effectiveness of the drug is due to the inhibition of the synthesis of topoisomerase, a bacterial enzyme responsible for the production of DNA. As a result, the cell of the pathogenic microorganism ceases to function normally and dies.
The bactericidal effect of the drug is ensured both at the stage of active bacterial growth and at rest. Another important property of ciprofloxacin is that when used simultaneously with other antibiotics, bacteria do not have the opportunity to develop resistance to them. That is, “Tsiprolet” is especially effective in combination with other antibacterial agents, such as aminoglycosides, penicillins, cephalosporins and tetracyclines.
In what other cases is the use of Tsiprolet eye drops indicated?
special instructions
Monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, and ECG is required with the simultaneous administration of general anesthesia drugs (barbituric acid derivatives) and ciprofloxacin. Exceeding the daily dosage may lead to crystalluria . Tsiprolet affects transport control and concentration. For patients with organic brain lesions, vascular pathology, epilepsy, or a history of seizures, the drug Tsiprolet is prescribed in exceptional cases, for “vital” indications. Before antibacterial therapy, it is necessary to exclude pseudomembranous colitis . Treatment is stopped at the first signs of tendovaginitis , the appearance of pain in the tendons. It is important to avoid sun exposure during treatment.
There is no article on the drug on Wikipedia; the online encyclopedia contains only information about the active ingredient ciprofloxacin.

Instructions and method of use
After administration of "Tsiprolet" into the eyes, the concentration of ciprofloxacin is 5 mg/ml of blood plasma. The level of active component content can be maintained in the required amount for up to 12 hours.
Ciprofloxacin is excreted primarily by the kidneys unchanged. The remaining substances are excreted in the intestines with feces. The active component is excreted in breast milk, which explains the ban on the use of the drug during lactation.
Eye drops are used exclusively topically by instillation into the conjunctival sac. If the infection is mild or moderate, instillation is carried out every four hours, 1-2 drops. If the pathological process is severe, 2 drops should be instilled into the eyes every hour. When the patient's condition improves, the dosage of the drug can be reduced.
If the cornea of the eye has been affected by a peptic ulcer of bacterial origin, the doctor prescribes instillation of the drug every 15 minutes for six hours, 1 drop. Further, the interval between instillations increases to half an hour. On the second day of treatment, the drug is instilled one drop every hour. From the third to the seventh day of treatment, Tsiprolet is instilled every four hours. If after one week a new epithelial layer has not been formed on the cornea of the eye, treatment can be prolonged in consultation with the doctor.
To prevent infectious complications after surgery, it is recommended to instill 1-2 drops into each eye before surgery and every five hours for the first day after.

Use for otitis media
What else does the Tsiprolet instruction tell us?
Ear drops are widely used in the practice of otolaryngologists for the treatment of otitis media. As a rule, they are prescribed if other antibacterial substances are ineffective. The solution for instillation is sterile, which allows it to be instilled into the ears as prescribed by a doctor. Tsiprolet ear drops are prescribed for the treatment of otitis media of the middle ear and external type, as well as complications of an inflammatory and infectious nature during the recovery period after surgery.
When prescribing a drug for the treatment of otitis, you should take into account the fact that Tsiprolet ear drops have certain contraindications. The dosage is determined by the doctor depending on the form and course of the pathological process. The duration of use is also prescribed by a specialist.
For mild otitis, 1-2 Tsiprolet ear drops are instilled into the affected ear, and the procedure is repeated every four hours. In the case of an acute course, the interval between instillation should be one hour until positive dynamics and improvement in the patient’s condition occur. Next, the treatment is adjusted. The duration of therapy is 7-10 days, but in exceptional cases the specialist may decide to prolong treatment up to one month.
In childhood, the dosage and frequency of use of Tsiprolet ear drops is also determined by the doctor depending on the nature and form of the pathological process. It is not recommended to complete treatment on your own, as this may affect the child’s immune system. The course must be completed in full, strictly as prescribed by the doctor.
