Patients are often interested in which of the drugs to choose. Both drugs are available in the same forms: tablets, infusion solution and eye drops. They also have the same active substance and they belong to the same pharmacological group. They have similar indications and they affect microorganisms almost identically.
The only difference is the fact that in the product line there is Tsifran with additional components (Tsifran OD). It is able to destroy any pathogenic microorganisms. Another difference is that Tsifran is allowed to be taken to children from 12 years old, while Tsiprolet is prohibited until 18 years old. Also the difference is the cost of drugs. Cifran is a cheaper drug compared to its counterpart.
Having studied both drugs, we can conclude that the differences between them are insignificant. They have the same indications and contraindications. However, the patient should not self-medicate, the drug should be prescribed by a doctor. The choice is based on the recommendations of the doctor, as well as the availability of the drug in the nearest pharmacies. Some doctors believe that Ciprolet is more effective than its counterpart. This is due to the fact that the drug is released by an Indian company. It is thoroughly cleaned of mechanical impurities, which reduces the number of side effects.
Thus, both drugs are almost the same. This is not to say which drug is better. Treatment should be prescribed exclusively by a doctor, based on the characteristics of the patient’s disease. Any antibacterial drugs should be taken with caution, and a dosage violation threatens to develop side effects.
The culprits of most inflammatory diseases are pathogenic microorganisms. Pharmacological companies offer a wide range of antibacterial drugs that effectively fight pathogenic microflora. These also include Tsifran and Tsiprolet. Some patients are interested in which of the drugs is more effective. To make a choice, you need to study them in more detail.
