“The release of ciprofloxacin from the cellulose membrane in the presence of aluminum, calcium, or iron ions was slower than that in the absence of these metal ions.”

“The concomitant oral administration of magnesium-, aluminium-, or calcium-containing antacids, sucralfate, iron preparations and multivitamins containing zinc significantly reduces the absorption of ciprofloxacin.”
“HIGHLIGHTS Fe incorporation significantly accelerated the adsorption of CPX on MCM-41.”
“The results showed that the introduction of iron facilitated the absorption quantity for CPX from 20.04 to 83.33 mg g−1 at 120 min of reaction time, which was mainly attributed to surface complexation.”
“This ciprofloxacin-induced tissue iron depletion was more pronounced when it was administered simultaneously with iron , when it was administered for a longer duration (2 months rather than 1 month) and when it was given in higher doses (14 mg/kg per day).”
