Sintesi

Oral iron binds ciprofloxacin in the gut and markedly reduces its absorption. This can lower antibiotic concentrations enough to cause treatment failure and promote resistance.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Ciprofloxacin and Ferrous fumarate can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.

Ciprofloxacin belongs to Anti Bacterial; Ferrous fumarate belongs to Miscellaneous.

Livello di evidenza: High

Perché avviene

Ferrous iron chelates ciprofloxacin in the gastrointestinal tract, forming poorly absorbed complexes.
