Due to its high efficiency and wide spectrum of action, Cifran ST is used in the treatment of mixed infections (amebic and bacterial nature of the disease, a combination of anaerobic and aerobic flora, etc.).
The active substances are well absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. Maximum concentrations (Сmax) of each component are achieved within 1–2 hours.

Pharmacological effect

It is a combination antibiotic. The properties of Cifran ST determine two main components: tinidazole and ciprofloxacin.
The first is to work against anaerobes. They all contribute to the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria in an oxygen-free environment, for example, in the abdominal cavity, in the lungs.
Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic. Effective in combating a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic bacteria, such as E. coli, Klebsiella - the causative agent of pneumonia, typhoid fever and other varieties of salmonella. Proteus mirabilis, proteus , Legionella and Koch's wand are also susceptible to ciprofloxacin.
Due to the action of its two main components, it works well in the treatment of mixed infections, the causative agents of which are the above bacteria. Effective in the treatment of gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea, dysentery, etc.).
Both active substances undergo absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. At the most in a couple of hours, their ultimate concentration in the blood begins. The half-life of tinidazole lasts up to 14 hours. It actively passes into the cerebrospinal fluid in a volume equivalent to its content in the blood, after which the process of reabsorption into the kidneys begins. Exported to bile in a volume less than half the accumulation in the plasma. About a quarter of the total dose comes out with urine. Metabolites are equal to 12% of the accepted portion and are also released through the urinary system. A small part of tinidazole excreted in the feces.
Ciprofloxacin is rapidly absorbed in the body. Approximately 70% of the total bioavailable. If the drug was taken with meals, absorbability slows down by an average of 30%.
Rapidly distributed in a liquid medium and body tissues. Penetrates the organs of the urinary system. Approximately half of the total volume is absorbed by the liver. The rest is excreted in the original form as part of the urine. The rest - with feces. The half-life lasts just over four hours. Elderly patients and patients with renal insufficiency may have more time.

    The blood system and the red bone marrow - a decrease in the number of leukocytes (leukopenia), platelets (thrombocytopenia), erythrocytes (anemia) per unit volume of blood.
    The digestive system - loss of appetite, dryness and the appearance of "metallic taste" in the mouth, nausea with periodic vomiting, diarrhea, bloating, spastic abdominal pain, jaundice, developing against the background of a violation of bile outflow in the hollow structures of the hepatobiliary system.
    Cardiovascular system - increased heart rate (tachycardia) with a violation of their rhythm (arrhythmia), a decrease in systemic arterial pressure (hypotension), which may be accompanied by syncope.
    Nervous system - headache, recurrent dizziness, fatigue, impaired gait (ataxia) and speech (dysarthria), peripheral nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy), seizures, psychotic reactions, circulatory disorders in the brain of varying severity, migraine may occur less frequently.
    Allergic reactions - a rash on the skin, itching, characteristic changes resembling a nettle burn (nettle rash), severe necrotic skin reactions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome, Lyell's syndrome), marked swelling of the soft tissues of the face and external genitals (angioedema of the Quinckie), severe systemic reaction with a critical decrease in systemic blood pressure and the development of multiple organ failure (anaphylactic shock).
The appearance of signs of the development of negative pathological reactions is the basis for discontinuing the administration of Cifran ST tablets and seeking medical attention.

Symptoms of overdose

If, after the procedure, vomiting, dizziness, indigestion, renal failure, arrhythmia is present, this is a sure sign of an overdose. The first step is to reduce the amount of the drug contained in the body, making a gastric lavage. You can cause vomiting by pressing your fingers on the root of the tongue.
After these procedures, intestinal sorbents should be taken and symptomatic therapy should be carried out. There is no specific antidote for Cifran ST.

special instructions

Before you start using the drug, read the specific instructions:
    During treatment, it is not recommended to take ethanol (the risk of disulfiram-like reactions against the background of tinidazole, which is part of the drug).
    It is recommended to avoid excessive exposure to sunlight during treatment. In the event of photosensitivity reactions should immediately discontinue use of the drug.
    In order to avoid the development of crystalluria, the recommended daily dose should not be exceeded, sufficient fluid intake and maintenance of acidic urine should also be sufficient. Causes dark staining of urine, which has no clinical significance.
    Patients with epilepsy, history of convulsions, vascular diseases and organic brain damage, due to the threat of adverse reactions from the central nervous system, the drug should be prescribed only for health reasons.
    If severe or prolonged diarrhea occurs during or after treatment, the diagnosis of pseudomembranous colitis should be excluded, which requires immediate discontinuation of the drug and appropriate treatment.
    If there is pain in the tendons or the first signs of tendovaginitis manifest, treatment should be stopped.
    In the process of treatment should monitor the pattern of peripheral blood.
    During treatment, you should refrain from engaging in potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration and psychomotor speed.
When using tinidazole (imidazole derivative), it is possible (rare) to develop generalized urticaria, swelling of the face and larynx, reduction of blood pressure, bronchospasm and dyspnea. Therefore, patients with hypersensitivity to other imidazole derivatives may develop cross-sensitivity to tinidazole; The development of a cross-allergic reaction to ciprofloxacin is also possible in patients with hypersensitivity to other fluoroquinolone derivatives. Should consider the possibility of cross-allergic reactions.

Compatibility Cifran ST with other drugs

Tinidazole has the ability to increase the effectiveness of indirect anticoagulants. Ciprolofloxacin has the ability to reduce the intensity of the process of microsomal oxidation. Provides a decrease in the effectiveness of indirect anticoagulants. In the process of taking the patient’s composition, the prothrombin index decreases. It has the ability to increase the effectiveness of other antimicrobial agents.
At the time of use of cephalosporin, it is necessary to control the dosage of iron-containing drugs. This need is directly related to the ability of iron to reduce the effectiveness of cephalosporin.

Patient Reviews

We offer to read the reviews of people who used Cifran ST:
Marina
    The dentist prescribed the drug, because after nerve removal, the tooth aches. Said, that, perhaps, podtudila. Although X-rays revealed nothing. Started to drink. Nausea, dizziness, horror in mouth. And increased salivation. All the time I want to eat something to somehow “beat” an unpleasant taste in my mouth. I drink the third day. But not at all, the tooth is whining. I do not know whether I suffer 5 days.
Galina
    Assigned after hysteroscopy. Mind you understand that there are no complications, we must drink, but this is something. The fact that I have a sick gastrointestinal tract - this I know, was examined, but the impression is that Cifran ST is beating all over the body. I do not advise you to take it without need, only consult a competent doctor. Hard drug.
Nastya
    I ran into a Cifran camera for the first time. Feels like after taking metronidazole recalled - the same nausea, stomach ache. The doctor said to suffer. It helps of course well, but I would not like to face him anymore. For myself, I realized that it is better to drink this drug on an empty stomach, otherwise all the food will be in the toilet.
