Common Questions and Answers about Cipro mechanism of action

cipro

Avatar m tn I have seen a doctor about this twice and was on cipro for a month and doxycycline for a month (cipro in March, doxy in May), neither of which have cured the problem (my symptoms are minor now, but still present). Also, while on cipro, I developed a white coating on my tongue that really hasn't gone away since. It just seems whiter than usual and brushing doesn't wipe it out entirely (worried it could be thrush?).
Avatar m tn I am not physically restricted - I walk 1 mile or more day and do 10 minutes of other light exercises most days. My BP runs under 120/80 most of the time. I understand carvedilol helps prevent stiffening of the heart muscle and can help restore LV function to some degree. How specially, so it do this? What is the biochemical mechanism?
Avatar m tn The mechanism of action of CampralĀ® (acamprosate calcium) Delayed-Release Tablets in maintenance of alcohol abstinence is not completely understood. Originally, several neurotransmitter systems, including GABA, were investigated for a possible role in Campral's mechanism of action. However, recent evidence suggests Campral's main interaction is with the glutamate system. Chronic alcohol exposure is hypothesized to alter the normal balance between neuronal excitation and inhibition.

Avatar m tn Oyakawa I am in my 3rd year of medical school and I was wondering the mechanism of action of steroid injections in the eyelid causing cataracts. It is not an osmotic agent so why does that occur? thanks so much.

Avatar f tn I went back in and told the doctor, he was puzzled, told me to keep taking the cipro as maybe it was about to get worse anyway. The cipro is making me feel sick and exhausted and makes what I'm taking it for worse, so I'm not too thrilled. Any ideas? Google has made me terrified of either IC or a tumor or cancer an I would love some reassurance that it might not be something awful. Thanks!!
Avatar m tn Ciprofloxacin is known to have immuno-regulatory effects al la Crohns disease, so-Would taking 750mg of Cipro twice daily delay HIV seroconversion or formation of antibodies??
Avatar f tn s wise to always follow up antibiotics with probiotics to reestablish some of the good bacteria for a happy, healthy balance! Your best course of action would be a probiotic supplement containing multiple strains, a prebiotic to provide fuel for the good bacteria to get an extra boost, and digestive enzymes (protease, amylase, and lipase) with meals if you need any relief from indigestion. These won't hurt you any.
Avatar f tn Plavix has a unique mechanism of action by blocking the amplification of platelet activation by released ADP, and often used with aspirin to prevent the risk of clots for the first year after DES implant. Plavix and aspirin have different mechanism of action to prevent clots. After a year, plavix is usually discontinue as the risk for clots is decreased, and aspirin is continued long term. The risk of a clot is about 3%.

158939 tn?1274915197 Hi. The "reactive (nuclear) features" mean that changes in appearance, particularly of the nucleus, have been noted in the bladder lining cells (urothelium). These changes are seen by the pathologist as a reaction of the cells to the ongoing chronic inflammation.
Avatar f tn Potassium is a chemical element and it is part of the electrolyte that should be in balance with other lytes to adequately conduct an electrical impulse that originates with the sinus node in the right atrium. The mechanism of action is not completely understood, but what is when a voltage (unit of potential for conduction) and electrolyte there will conduction and passage of electrical impluses.
Avatar m tn I would make sure that the CAT scan included the pelvis down through the level of your rectum and I would suggest a culture of your semen as well as an evaluation of your blood clotting mechanism (blood test). If nothing is found, there is nothing to do except see if it stops and get re-examined in 6 months. I do not see how age figures into it. S.A.Liroff, M.D.
Avatar m tn http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/578705 Ribavirin improves early responses to peginterferon through improved interferon signaling. Gastroenterology. 2010 Jul;139 The therapeutic mechanisms of ribavirin for hepatitis C are unclear. Microarray analyses have shown that ribavirin increases induction of interferon-stimulated genes. We evaluated viral kinetics, serum cytokine expression, and viral mutagenesis during early stages of peginterferon therapy with and without ribavirin.
Avatar m tn I was having some stomach irritation and loose stool, and after consuming some lactose and fructose heavy food at a conference, my bloating returned and my IBS was worse than it was prior to the antibiotics. I then took a course of Cipro, 100 mg twice daily for a week. I also took Xifaxan simultaneously for the IBS 500 mg 3 times daily for 10 days. The Cipro seemed to help the joint pain but the two compounded the GI symptoms.
Avatar n tn Three months later I had acute prostitutes. Cipro therapy seemed to stop symptoms. Now three months more lately my PSA is 7.8! I am on Cipro again and will get a PSA in three weeks. If I am elevated my urologist will probably want to do another biopsy. What is the likely diagnosis? Am I just having recurring prostitutes? What is the likelihood of Prostate Cancer with a normal biopsy a year ago and intermittent high and normal PSA?
Avatar m tn Seeing an orthodontist is advised.
158939 tn?1274915197 I glanced at your history and have a better understanding of your concern. Your boyfriend's chronic microhematuria may well be related to the chronic inflammation demonstrated in his biopsy. The findings are NOT precancerous. The fact that he has a diverticula may indicate that he is not emptying his bladder and this may be a source of his inflammation. The hematuria will not resolve on antibiotic treatment unless there is an infection (best proven by a urine culture).
Avatar m tn Hi bobby, why are you asking on the prostate cancer forum. Sound like you pulled your anal muscle during the sex act.
