Ciprofloxacin Injection, USP (in 5% Dextrose Injection) is a synthetic antimicrobial agent for intravenous (IV) administration. Ciprofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone, is 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid. Its empirical formula is C 17 H 18 FN 3 O 3 and its chemical structure is: Ciprofloxacin is a faint to light yellow crystalline powder with a molecular weight of 331.4. It is soluble in dilute (0.1N) hydrochloric acid and is practically insoluble in water and ethanol. Ciprofloxacin Injection, USP solution is a sterile 0.2% readyfor-use infusion solution in 5% Dextrose Injection. The formula contains lactic acid 0.644 mg per mL as a solubilizing agent and hydrochloric acid for pH adjustment. The pH range for the 0.2% ready-for-use infusion solutions is 3.5 to 4.6. The plastic container is not made with natural rubber latex and is fabricated from specially formulated polyolefin based material. Solutions in contact with the plastic container can leach out certain of its chemical components in very small amounts within the expiration period. The suitability of the plastic has been confirmed in tests in animals according to USP biological tests for plastic containers as well as by tissue culture toxicity studies. The glucose content for the 100 mL bag is 5 g and 10 g for the 200 mL flexible container. Chemical Structure
