How Ciprofloxacin Affects Patients

Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that works on both bacteria and viruses. It stops bacteria from growing by binding to their DNA and disrupting the way they reproduce. It is different from other antibiotics because it does not have a resistance to other classes of antibiotics, so it can be useful when other treatments fail. It is also being studied for its possible use in treating malaria, cancer, and AIDS.

How Ciprofloxacin works in the body

Ciprofloxacin stops bacteria from replicating by targeting their DNA gyrase, which helps keep their DNA wound up. By preventing the gyrase from working properly, Ciprofloxacin stops the bacteria's DNA from being able to replicate.

When to interrupt dosage

The recommended portion of Ciprofloxacin is contingent upon the noted condition, including Proteus mirabilis, Conjunctivitis and Cystitis. The dose also deviates in light of the mode of administration (e.g. Kit; Powder, for suspension - Oral or Kit; Suspension) as stated in the table below.

Ciprofloxacin Toxicity & Overdose Risk

An overdose of ciprofloxacin may lead to nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, urinary crystals, reduced kidney function, and decreased urine production. Depending on the severity of the overdose, patients may need prednisone, dialysis, or supportive care. Animal studies have shown that doses higher than the recommended dose may cause gastrointestinal issues in the mother and potentially lead to miscarriage. Mutagenicity tests have yielded positive results in some cases, but no carcinogenicity or tumorigenicity has been shown in rats and mice at doses of up to 300 times the maximum recommended clinical dose. Fertility of rats has not been affected by

Ciprofloxacin for Bacterial Urinary Tract Infection

Not only did this effectively treat my UTI, but it also cleared up my SIBO symptoms. Much more expensive antibiotics haven't been able to do that, so I'm really happy with this treatment.

Ciprofloxacin for Acute Maxillary Sinus M. Catarrhalis Bacteria Infection

I had been struggling with chronic sinusitis for years and even had two surgeries. When things got really bad, my doctor prescribed me amoxicillin; while it did help somewhat, I decided to do my own research and purchased Cipro in Europe without a prescription. Immediately after taking the recommended dosage (250mg 2x day), I felt incredible-- better than I ever thought possible.

The side effects were really tough to get through, but the medication started working after a few days. I had chills and shakes, pain in my limbs and back, and my urine smelled incredibly strong (which I wasn't expecting). If you can make it past the initial hurdle, this treatment is worth it.

Ciprofloxacin for Diverticulitis

I got sick almost immediately after taking this medication, with symptoms including dizziness, nausea, and muscle aches. I had to take a lower dosage of the drug and split it up with Flagyl to make sure that it wasn't the Cipro itself that was making me ill. After reading the Black Label warning, my PCP switched me to Bactrim. I'll review it once I've taken it.

All Sexes
Cleveland, OH

Undergoing cancer treatment comes with various risks and side effects. This clinical trial aims to reduce those risks and side effects through continuous monitoring of vital signs and blood levels. The goal is to see if potential side effects can be identified and treated sooner. During this study, participants will wear an Alio Smartpatch™. The Alio Smartpatch™ is a wireless remote monitoring system. This device will measure participants' vital signs and blood levels. Participants will also be asked to use continuous glucose monitors to measure their glucose levels. The data collected on each participant from these devices will be remotely monitored at all times by clinical staff at a company known as Quantify Remote Care. If a participant's results look like they are experiencing a side effect, the participant will be contacted immediately by Quantify Remote Care team. The Quantify Remote Care team will function as an extension of the participant's cancer clinical team and will relay any significant issues back to them. Quantify Health also provides dietary and mental health support as needed for all participants.

Los Angeles, CA

The Next Day Clinic (NDC) is a quality improvement initiative that will be launched and operated by UCLA Health starting July 22, 2024. Its goals are to improve patient care and safety and to maximize cost effectiveness. The way it does this is by identifying patients in the ED who would normally be admitted for low-acuity conditions, and diverting them to a high-acuity clinic the following day called the NDC. This will help decompress the ED and the hospital, and allow for overall higher quality care. The Health System has partnered with UCLA's Healthcare Value Analytics and Solutions \[UVAS\] group which specializes in these types of program evaluations. The analysis conducted by the study team will be used to directly inform NDC operations, scaling, and future plans.

Interventions for Ear Infections

6 - 17
All Sexes
Denver, CO

This study aims to improve care and reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescribing for children with ear infections. The study will compare the effectiveness of a "gold standard" to a hybrid intervention combined with this gold standard, in order to identify steps to increase parent satisfaction for child ear infection care. The "gold standard" approach is a Health System Level Intervention. On its own, it involves clinician education, tools in electronic medical records, and audit and feedback reports for clinician prescribing habits. The hybrid intervention includes the elements of the health systems level intervention in addition to a Shared Decision-Making component, which allows for both an increase in the role parents play in their child's care, as well as clinician education for how to use this method. The goals of this work are to increase parent satisfaction, reduce antibiotics taken for childhood ear infections, align medical care with the current national guidelines, and evaluate differences in the two intervention groups. Both groups will be evaluated for implementation outcomes to improve dissemination and scalability for future use of these models in antibiotic prescribing for children with ear infections. This study will recruit a diverse group of patients and clinicians to complete surveys, parents to participate in focus groups, and clinicians and administrators to be interviewed in order to meet study aims and receive sufficient feedback on the interventions performed. There are two hypotheses for this research: 1. The Hybrid Intervention will have higher parent satisfaction and reduced antibiotic use compared to the Health-System Level Intervention and 2. The Hybrid Intervention will be more challenging to implement than the Health-System Level Intervention, but will be preferred by parents, clinicians, and administrators.

Shorter Antibiotic Courses for Ear Infections

All Sexes
Denver, CO

The overarching goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation outcomes of two low-cost interventions of different intensities to increase prescribing of recommended short antibiotic durations for acute otitis media (AOM) for children 2 years of age and older. A multi-center cluster randomized controlled trial using a hybrid type 2 implementation effectiveness design will be used to evaluate interventions. The High-Intensity intervention will include clinician education, individualized clinician audit and feedback with peer comparison, and electronic health record (EHR) changes of prescription fields, whereas the Low-Intensity intervention will include clinician education and EHR changes. In total, 46 community-based clinics and/or urgent care centers across two distinct geographic regions in the United States will be randomized to one of the two interventions. The Practical Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM) will be used to guide implementation and the Reach Effectiveness Adoption Implementation Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework will be used to evaluate outcomes. A mixed-methods approach will be used in the pre-implementation and evaluation phases and will utilize quantitative analyses, semi-structured interviews, focus groups, surveys, and cost analyses. National stakeholders at the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will assist with dissemination of findings and scaling of interventions.
