Cipro belongs to a class of potent antibiotics called quinolones. These
drugs have become quite popular in recent years because they can help

the lungs, urinary tract, skin, bones and joints.
This antibiotic also works against traveler's diarrhea and other bugs
that invade the digestive tract.
To measure the concentration
of ciprofloxacin and its desethylenemetabolite in plasma and cutaneous
microdialysates and to compare ciprofloxacin penetration into cutaneous
microdialysates against theoretically predicted penetration in a
peripheral compartment.
