Combinil® is intended for topical use in ophthalmic and otorhinolaryngological practice. The therapeutic effect of Combinil® is due to the antimicrobial effect of ciprofloxacin and the anti-inflammatory effect of dexamethasone.
Ciprofloxacin is a protivomicrobial drug from the group of fluoroquinolones, has a broad spectrum of antibacterial action, has a bactericidal effect. The drug inhibits the DNA enzyme enzyme of bacteria, as a result of which DNA replication and the synthesis of bacterial cell proteins are disrupted. Ciprofloxacin It acts both on multiplying microorganisms, and on those in rest.
The antibacterial spectrum of ciprofloxacin includes Gram-negative microorganisms: Esherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp.
(indolpositive and endothelial), Morganella morganii, Citrobacter spp., Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Vibrio spp., Campylobacter spp., Hafnia spp., Providencia stuartii, Haemophilus influenzae, Pasteurella multocida, Pseudomonas spp., Gardnerella spp., Legionella pneumophila, Neisseria spp., Moraxella catarrhalis, Acinetobacter spp ,, Brucella spp., Chlamidia spp.
Gram-positive microorganisms are also sensitive to ciprofloxacin: Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus pyogenes, St. agalactiae, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Listeria monocitogenes. The drug is low toxicity.
Dexamethasone is a synthetic glucocorticosteroid, mainly used as an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive agent. With topical application, the therapeutic activity of dexamethasone is due to anti-inflammatory, antiallergic and antiproliferative action. It reduces the permeability and capillary proliferation, local exudation, cellular infiltration, phagocytic activity, collagen deposition and fibroblast activity, inhibits the formation of scar tissue. In this way, dexamethasone reduces the main symptoms of inflammation.
