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.

Immediately following the action potential 'proper' of nerve there is a hyperpolarizing after-potential caused by the slow closing of voltage-gated K+ channels. In skeletal muscle fibers there is a depolarizing after-potential, primarily caused by K+ accumulation in the transverse tubules.
