Ciprofloxacin is an antibacterial prescription medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment and prevention of certain bacterial infections, including: Urinary tract infections. Lower respiratory tract infections.
In neurophysiology Hyperpolarization is a change in a cell's membrane potential that makes it more negative. It is the opposite of a depolarization.Hyperpolarization is often caused by efflux of K+ (a cation) through K+ channels, or influx of Clâ (an anion) through Clâ channels. On the other hand, influx of cations, e.g. Na+ through Na+ channels or Ca2+ through Ca2+ channels, inhibits hyperpolarization.t is the opposite of a depolarization.

Depolarization occurs when the inside of the cell becomes more positive and the membrane potential moves toward threshold. If depolarization is sufficient, threshold is reached and the cell will undergo an action potential. Hyper polarization is the opposite - the inside of the cell becomes more negative and the membrane potential moves away from the threshold; the cell is therefore less likely to undergo an action potential.
