Drug Interactions
This medicine can raise the levels of other drugs that are broken down by the liver enzyme CYP1A2, such as clozapine, ropinirole, and theophylline. It can also increase the effects of oral blood thinners like warfarin and glibenclamide, and make methotrexate more toxic. Probenecid can increase the level of this medicine in your blood.
If you take this medicine with multivitamins or mineral supplements that contain iron, zinc, or calcium—or with antacids that have aluminum, calcium, or magnesium—it might not be absorbed as well.
Taking this medicine with certain heart rhythm drugs (like quinidine, procainamide, amiodarone, sotalol), tricyclic antidepressants, macrolide antibiotics, or antipsychotics may further increase the risk of heart rhythm problems (QT prolongation).
Using this medicine with corticosteroids may raise the risk of serious tendon problems. Taking it with NSAIDs may make nervous system side effects more likely. It can also change the levels of the epilepsy drug phenytoin.
**Warning:** Using this medicine with tizanidine can dangerously raise tizanidine levels, leading to a much greater risk of very low blood pressure and strong sedation.
Contraindications
People who are allergic to ciprofloxacin or other quinolone antibiotics should not take ciprofloxacin.
Mode of actions
Ciprofloxacin works by causing breaks in the DNA of certain bacteria and blocking an enzyme called DNA gyrase, which bacteria need to make new DNA and reproduce.
