The mechanism of action of ciprofloxacin is to suppress bacterial DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II), as a result of which DNA replication and the synthesis of bacterial cellular proteins are disrupted, which leads to the death of the microorganism.

After oral administration, ciprofloxacin is easily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract (mainly in the duodenum and jejunum) and is distributed in organs and tissues of the body (excluding tissues rich in fats), penetrates into the pleura, peritoneum, lymph, ocular fluid and placenta.

The maximum concentration of ciprofloxacin in the blood serum is reached after 1.5-2 hours, the therapeutic concentration is maintained for 24 hours after oral administration of the drug.

Ciprofloxacin is excreted from the body mainly unchanged and partially in the form of metabolites with urine and bile, in lactating animals also with milk.

According to the degree of impact on the body, Tsiprolak belongs to moderately hazardous substances (hazard class 3 according to GOST 12.1.007-76), in the recommended doses it does not have a local irritating and resorptive-toxic effect, does not have embryotoxic and teratogenic properties.
