cipro

Ciprofloxacin (aka cipro) is the generic international name for the synthetic antibiotic manufactured and sold by Bayer A.G. under the brand names cipro, ciproxin and ciprobay (and other brand names in other markets, e.g. veterinary medicine), belonging to a group called fluoroquinolones. Ciprofloxacin (cipro) is bacteriocidal. Its mode of action depends upon blocking bacterial DNA replication by binding itself to an enzyme called DNA gyrase, thereby causing double-stranded breaks in the bacterial chromosome.
