Co-administration with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Ibuprofen, Indomethacin...) may increase the side effects of Cipogip 500 Tablet; Co-administration of Cipogip 500 with aluminum and magnesium antacids has the potential to reduce serum concentrations and bioavailability of Ciprofloxacin; Cipogip 500 should not be taken at the same time with anti-acid drugs, it is necessary to take the drugs apart (should take the anti-acid drug 2-4 hours before taking Cipogip 500 Tablet) but the drug still does not achieve the optimal effect; The absorption of Ciprofloxacin will be halved if used with some cytotoxic drugs (such as Cyclophosphamide, Vincristin, Doxorubicin, Cytosin Arabinoside, Mitozantron); If taken concomitantly with Didanosin, the concentration of Ciprofloxacin will be significantly reduced. Therefore, Cipogip 500 should be taken 2 hours before Didanosin or 6 hours after. Preparations with iron (fumarat, gluconate, sulfate) can significantly reduce the absorption of ciprofloxacin from the intestine. Preparations with zinc have less of an effect. Concomitant administration of ciprofloxacin with iron or zinc preparations should be avoided and these drugs should be taken as far apart as possible. Concomitant administration of sucralfate can significantly reduce the absorption of ciprofloxacin. Cipogip 500 Tablet should be given 2 - 6 hours before taking Sucralfate. Concomitant use of Cipogip 500 with Theophylline may also increase the serum concentration of Theophylline, increasing the risk of Theophylline side effects. It is necessary to check the concentration of Theophylline in the blood, reduce the dose in case of forced use of 2 drugs. Ciprofloxacin in Cipogip 500 Tablet and Ciclosporin used concurrently may cause an increase in serum creatinine. Blood creatinine should be checked twice a week. Probenecid reduces glomerular filtration rate and tubular secretion, and it will decrease urinary excretion if the two drugs are taken together. Warfarin when combined with ciprofloxacin can cause hypoprothrombin. It is necessary to regularly check blood prothrombin and adjust the dose of anticoagulants.
