Ciproxin (ciprofloxacin)
Ciproxin tablets, suspension and infusion all contain the active ingredient ciprofloxacin, which is a type of medicine called a quinolone antibiotic. Antibiotics are used to treat infections caused by bacteria. (NB. Ciprofloxacin tablets are also available without a brand name, ie as the generic medicine.) Ciprofloxacin works by killing the bacteria that are causing an infection. It does this by entering the bacterial cells and inhibiting a bacterial enzyme called DNA-gyrase. This enzyme is involved in replicating and repairing the genetic material (DNA) of the bacteria. If this enzyme doesn't work, the bacteria cannot reproduce or repair themselves and this kills the bacteria. Ciprofloxacin is effective against a large number of bacteria, some of which tend to be resistant to other commonly used antibiotics.
