PENETRATION OF TOPICAL AND ORAL CIPROFLOXACIN INTO THE AQUEOUS AND VITREOUS HUMOR IN INFLAMED EYES

Abstract

There is an increase in both aqueous and vitreous humor concentrations with inflammation and with oral and topical administrations, as opposed to topical only, of ciprofloxacin. Using oral as well as topical treatment may be a beneficial method of antibiotic prophylaxis in ocular trauma once a patient has received intravenous or intravitreal therapy.
