Relevance: 14.09.2022 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

Using ciprofloxacin together with cycloSPORINE can increase the effects of cycloSPORINE and cause damage to the kidneys or nerve loss. Tell your doctor if you experience dizziness, numbness, skin tingling, muscle twitching, or seizures which may be signs of nerve damage. Talk with your doctor if you develop fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms, and severe pain in your upper stomach spreading to your back. You may need a dose adjustment or special test if you use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Professional:

MONITOR: Ciprofloxacin may increase cyclosporine serum concentrations by an unknown mechanism. The risk of cyclosporine-induced neurotoxicity and nephrotoxicity may be increased. Acute renal failure, decreased renal function, and reversible nephrotoxicity have been reported. Several controlled studies have failed to demonstrate a pharmacokinetic interaction.

MANAGEMENT: If cyclosporine and ciprofloxacin are used together, cyclosporine levels and renal function, including serum creatinine, should be carefully monitored. Cyclosporine dosage should be adjusted as needed. Patients should be advised to notify their physician if they experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, dizziness, fatigue, or headache.
