Ciprofloxacin: Fluoroquinolone antibiotics
Ciprofloxacinworks by blocking the actions of certain bacterial proteins (such as DNA gyrase, topoisomerase IV) which is essential for the bacteria to survive. As a result, it destroys the susceptible bacteria and prevent their further growth and multiplication within the body which helps in reducing the severity of the infection.
Consult your doctor if you experience:
Ciprofloxacin attacks the bacteria by binding to them and destroy them if they get too long in their blood (which could result in aor a). This results in the bacteria being unable to produce proteins (DNA gyrase) which is the active enzyme in this condition which allows the bacteria to survive and multiply.
