Review of eye drops for cats Ciprovet

Tsipromed instructions for use

Bacterial infections of the eyes and ears are easy to treat in the early stages. For inflammatory diseases, otolaryngologists (ENT) and ophthalmologists recommend the use of local antibiotics. Tsipromed belongs to the drugs in this group. It is active against many microorganisms that provoke the development of internal and external otitis, blepharitis, dacryocystitis and other inflammatory diseases of the eyelids, eyes and ears. In the postoperative period, the solution is used to prevent secondary infection.

Compound

The medicine is produced in two forms. Eye drops are a colorless or pale yellow liquid. They are packaged in opaque 5 ml bottles; the ciprofloxacin solution includes a pipette. Ear drops are a viscous, colorless or yellowish liquid. The main active ingredient in the drug is ciprofloxacin in the form of lactate. The solution is packaged in opaque dropper bottles of 10 ml. The full composition of the two release forms of Tsipromed is presented in the table below:

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

The antibacterial effect of the drops is due to the presence of ciprofloxacin. This substance belongs to the group of fluoroquinolones and is considered an antibiotic. Ciprofloxacin inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase, which leads to disruption of the synthesis of daughter molecules of deoxyribonucleic acid and cell proteins. The drops are active against the following types of pathogenic microorganisms:

• Escherichia coli and hemophilus influenzae;
• salmonella, pseudomonas, brucella, chlamydia;
• Proteus mirabilis (indole-positive and indole-negative strains);
• Morgana bacterium, Gardnerella vaginalis, Moraxella catarrhalis;
• Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Acinetobacter;
• Klebsiella pneumonia;
• Yersinia, Vibrio, Campylobacter, Hafnia;
• Providence Stewart, Listeria monocytogenes;
• Pasteurella multicida, Legionella pneumophila;
• non-pathogenic Neisseria;
• staphylococci, streptococci;
• diphtheria corynebacterium.

Ear drops are practically not absorbed. The eye solution penetrates into all tissues, breast milk, and through them into the systemic bloodstream. In the anterior chamber of the eye, the maximum concentration of the antibiotic occurs 1 hour after instillation. The half-life of the drug from blood plasma is 5 hours. The drug is excreted from the body by the kidneys (50% - ciprofloxacin, 15% - metabolites of the active substance) and intestines (15%).

Indications for use

Ear drops are used to treat and prevent infectious diseases of the auditory system. They are prescribed for chronic, acute and infectious otitis of any form, before and after surgery, and for ear damage. The solution is used in the dosage specified in the instructions or prescribed by an ENT specialist. Tsipromed for eyes is used in the treatment of the following diseases:

• subacute and acute conjunctivitis;
• keratitis;
• blepharitis and other inflammatory diseases of the eyelids;
• prevention of inflammation after eye injury;
• subacute and acute dacryocystitis;
• anterior uveitis.

Indications for use

The injection solution and tablet form of Tsiprovet are prescribed after the following pathologies are detected:

• gastrointestinal diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria;
• infectious lesions of the liver and biliary system;
• diseases of the respiratory and genitourinary systems caused by bacterial microflora;
• inflammation and degenerative changes in cartilage and joints caused by infectious agents;
• purulent inflammation of the skin (abscesses, cellulitis, boils);
• infected wounds and postoperative sutures;
• secondary bacterial infections against the background of viral diseases, dermatitis, injuries, postoperative complications, etc.

In gynecological practice, this drug is used to treat metritis, endometritis, postpartum septicemia, and mastitis.

Important! During the period of antibacterial therapy, puppies are separated from the female and transferred to artificial feeding. This is a necessity, as it helps prevent infection of the offspring and speed up the recovery of the cat’s body.

Indications for the use of eye drops are:

• bacterial and chlamydial conjunctivitis;
• blepharitis;
• keratitis;
• inflammation of the eyelids, cornea or iris of a bacterial nature;
• ulcers formed on the cornea of ​​the eye as a result of the activity of pathogenic microflora;
• damage to the organs of vision by mechanical, thermal or chemical agents.

Ophthalmic drops are prescribed before surgery in the eye area, as well as in the postoperative period to prevent infection of the wound surface.

Note! Before starting treatment, a very important factor is making an accurate diagnosis and determining the nature of the disease. This is explained by the fact that antibacterial therapy is powerless against pathologies caused by viruses and protozoa.

Eye drop solution

The solution for eye drops "Tsiprovet" looks like transparent

colorless and odorless liquid. The manufacturer packages the solution in plastic or glass bottles of 1, 5 and 10 ml. Original Tsiprovet drops are packaged one at a time in cardboard boxes.

Pharmacological effects of the drug

The active substance ciprofloxacin, after entering the digestive tract, is almost instantly absorbed by the walls of the stomach and intestines, distributed throughout all tissues and internal organs of the animal. The active substance can be absorbed through the placenta, into the ocular and lymphatic fluids, and blood.

Once at the site of inflammation, ciprofloxacin prevents the infection from spreading

An antibacterial substance, after entering the site of inflammation and infection, has an inhibitory effect on protein synthesis in bacterial cells, which causes the death of the harmful organism. By reducing the production of prostaglandins, the severity of the inflammatory process is reduced.

Impact speed

The required therapeutic concentration of the active substance after taking the prescribed dosage of the medication is noted within 24 hours. The maximum concentration of ciprofloxacin is achieved within 1-2 hours after taking the tablet. The liquid form of the drug quickly provides antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. The therapeutic concentration of the active substance is maintained for 12-24 hours.

Since “Tsiprovet” in the form of drops has a very gentle effect on the body, it can even be used on pregnant cats

Eye drops are used in the field of ophthalmology. Ciprofloxacin has its main effect in the eye chamber and cornea, with only small amounts entering the bloodstream and other tissues. Due to this, with gentle dosages it can be used during the animal’s pregnancy.

"Tsiprovet" quickly affects bacteria, inhibiting protein synthesis in their cells

Pharmacokinetic properties

According to the instructions for use, CIPROVET eye drops, solution is quickly absorbed into the animal's eye after local ocular administration. Systemic levels are low after topical application. Plasma levels of ciprofloxacin in humans following 2 drops of a 0.45% ciprofloxacin solution every 2 hours for two days and then every four hours for 5 days ranged from not quantifiable (less than 1.0 ng/ml) to 4.7 ng / ml. The mean peak plasma levels of ciprofloxacin obtained in this study were approximately 450-fold lower than those obtained with a single 250 mg oral dose of ciprofloxacin. The systemic pharmacokinetic properties of ciprofloxacin have been well studied.

Ciprofloxacin is widely distributed throughout the tissues of the body.

The apparent volume of distribution at steady state is 1.7-5.0 l/kg. Binding to whey protein is 20-40%. The half-life of ciprofloxacin in serum is 3-5 hours. Both ciprofloxacin and its four main metabolites are excreted in urine and feces. Renal clearance accounts for approximately two-thirds of total serum clearance, with the remaining percentages being biliary and fecal tracts. In patients with impaired renal function, the half-life of Cyprovet is only moderately increased due to extrarenal elimination routes. Likewise, in patients with severely reduced liver function, the half-life is only slightly longer.

Composition and action

The active ingredient of the drug is ciprofloxacin hydrochloride. It is part of many antibacterial drugs that have proven themselves in medicine for treating people. But Tsiprovet contains a unique formula that allows the use of antibiotics in veterinary medicine without harm to the health of the pet.

The key features of the veterinary drug are:

• wide spectrum of action. Ciprofloxacin is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including staphylococci, streptococci, Escherichia, salmonella, shigella, klebsiella and others;
• an innovative formula that includes prebiotics along with antibiotics helps maintain the balance of intestinal microflora;
• prolonged action - the medicine lasts 24 hours, which greatly facilitates use;
• rapid restoration of intestinal microflora.

The action of ciprofloxacin is to disrupt the protein synthesis of pathogenic microorganisms, which leads to their rapid death. The substance is quickly absorbed in the intestines and distributed throughout tissues and organs, also penetrating the lymph and placenta. The active substance reaches its maximum concentration in the blood serum within 1.5-2 hours, the therapeutic effect lasts for 24 hours.

Despite the presence of contraindications, the drug is safe, which, together with its high effectiveness, explains the popularity of Tsiprovet in veterinary medicine.

Storage conditions

All medical and veterinary drugs are effective in treatment only if the recommended storage conditions are observed. Tablets must be stored in hermetically sealed blisters and boxes from the manufacturer until direct use. The storage area should be dark, cool and dry.

Tsiprovet should be stored separately from animal feed and food, in a place inaccessible to animals and children. Storage temperature range from 0 to 25 degrees. If all storage conditions are met, the shelf life of the tablets is 4 years from the production date indicated on the packaging.

Drops are packaged in disposable, polyethylene or glass bottles with drip dispensers. The container should not be opened until immediate use. The bottles are packaged in cardboard boxes to protect them from exposure to sunlight.

Boxes with the drug should be stored in a dark and dry place. Relative humidity during storage should not exceed 60%. Drops should be stored separately from food and animal feed, out of the reach of children and animals. Storage temperature range from 5 to 25 degrees.

Tsiprovet is strictly not recommended for use after the expiration date. Drops should not be used if sediment or foreign matter appears in the liquid. Unused Tsiprovet is disposed of in the manner prescribed by law. Boxes and bottles from Tsiprovet cannot be used in everyday life.

Drugs with similar pharmacological properties

The substance ciprofloxacin, which forms the basis of the “Tsiprolet” product, is also contained in a number of other medications with similar pharmacological effects. So, let’s look further at what can replace this remedy. In terms of effectiveness, the following analogues are worth noting among the substitutes:

• The drug "Normax" is produced in India. It is used not only in ophthalmology, but also for the treatment of otitis media (inflammation of the hearing organs). It is unacceptable to treat patients with this drug before they reach the age of eighteen.
• The drug "Levomycetin" can be produced in various forms, including drops, pills and capsules. This is the closest medication to Tsiprolet, which is prescribed for the same indications.
• The drug "Albucid" belongs to the group of sulfonamides and is prescribed for ophthalmic pathologies of varying nature and severity.
• Medicine "Tobrex". It is based on an antibiotic called tobramycin. This drug can be used to treat eye diseases even in newborns.
• Sodium sulfacyl is a gentle antibacterial agent, which is also prescribed not only to adults, but also to young children.
• The drug "Oftaquix" is produced on the basis of levofloxacin, which is absorbed into the blood, so it is strictly contraindicated for nursing and pregnant women.
• Eye drops called “Floxal” are an effective antibacterial agent with a wide range of effects; they are used in the treatment of infections of the organs of vision for conjunctivitis, keratitis, and so on (for the so-called acute red eye).
• Eye ointment "Floxal" is used for diseases of the eyelids, for example, against the background of injuries and inflammations (including barley). This medication ensures the death of common infectious pathogens, such as chlamydia.

Contraindications

There are not so many of them in this dosage form of the drug. Or rather, there are only three: individual intolerance to the main active ingredient and other components, viral keratitis (this is logical, since antibiotics have no effect on viruses), as well as childhood from birth to one year. It is worth noting that tablets with the active ingredient “ciprofloxacin” are prohibited for use by children under the age of eighteen.

In addition to contraindications, the instructions also contain special instructions. While you are being treated with these drops, you should not wear soft contact lenses. Hard contact lenses should be removed and installed only after 15-20 minutes. If during the use of the drug there is no improvement or, on the contrary, it only gets worse, then you should not continue treatment according to the prescribed regimen. It is better to consult your doctor for additional recommendations. The doctor will conduct an examination and, if necessary, prescribe examinations and other treatment.

If, after instillation, unpleasant or painful sensations appear in the eyes that do not go away for a long time, then it is better to stop using the product and also consult an ophthalmologist. If more than 1 drug is prescribed, then it is better to dilute the time of instillation (the interval between administrations should be at least five minutes). The ready-made solution for instillation is not used as a solution for intraocular injections.

In case of accidental ingestion of the drug, it is recommended to consult a doctor. But negative consequences and overdose in such a situation are unlikely, since the maximum daily dose for an adult is 1 gram of ciprofloxacin, and for a child - 500 milligrams, while 1 bottle contains only 15 milligrams of the substance.

For pregnant and breastfeeding women, these eye drops are prescribed only in situations where the benefit to the woman is greater than the potential danger to the fetus or infant.

Contraindications of the solution

Tsiprovet drops are used for cats mainly for local effects. That is, the substance does not penetrate the body, the blood or lymph, but acts only at the level of the eye structure. Therefore, unlike tablets, the drug has virtually no restrictions on use.

Ciprovet drops are not suitable for cats that are hypersensitive to fluoroquinol antibiotics . It is also possible that an allergic reaction to one of the components of the drug may occur. Drops are not suitable for the treatment of eye diseases in newborn kittens under 1 week of age. The same rule applies to puppies.

Immediately after using Tsiprovet, the cat's behavior may change. Usually, animals initially feel a burning sensation, so they begin to rub their injured eye with their paws or perform other actions that are unusual for them. Usually these unpleasant sensations, which also entail increased tearfulness, go away on their own after 6-7 minutes after instillation. If this does not happen, then you need to rinse the cat’s eye with saline and seek help from a veterinarian.

It is important not to use other external medications during the treatment process, since the active ingredient Ciprovet loses its properties and becomes ineffective.

You can also give your cat Tsiprolet in tablet form. In this case, the drug performs a wider range of functions, including eliminating infectious diseases of the digestive system, genitourinary system, inflammation of the liver, gall bladder, and lungs. But in this case, a veterinarian should prescribe treatment with Tsiprovet tablets, since taking antibiotics through carelessness or mistake can pose a threat to the animal’s life.
