Mechanism of Resistance: Mutation in DNA gyrase, plasmid-mediated and efflux pump-mediated resistance confers resistance to fluoroquinolones, including ciprofloxacin. For Escherichia coli, the primary resistance mechanism is generally the GyrA subunit of gyrase.
Faecal recovery of ciprofloxacin accounts for approximately 15% of an intravenous dose. Nonrenal elimination includes metabolic degradation, biliary excretion and transluminal secretion across the enteric mucosa. Glomerular filtration and tubular secretion account for approximately 66% of the total serum clearance.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
