Ciplox

Ciprofloxacin, the active ingredient in Ciplox Drop, belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics. It works by interfering with the bacteria’s ability to replicate their DNA, ultimately killing the bacteria. This action helps clear the infection and reduces inflammation and discomfort associated with the infection.

Key Uses:

• Eye Infections: Effective for treating bacterial infections of the eye, including conjunctivitis (pink eye).
• Ear Infections: Treats bacterial infections in the outer ear canal, such as otitis externa.
• Infection Relief: Reduces redness, pain, swelling, and irritation caused by bacterial infections in the eyes and ears.

Dosage and Administration:

• For Eye Infections:
  • Apply 1-2 drops into the affected eye(s) every 4-6 hours, or as prescribed by your doctor.
• For Ear Infections:
  • Instill 3-4 drops into the affected ear(s) 2-3 times daily, or as recommended by your healthcare provider.
• Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for dosage and duration of use to avoid antibiotic resistance and ensure effective treatment.

• Allergies: Do not use Ciplox Drop if you are allergic to ciprofloxacin, other fluoroquinolones, or any of the drop’s ingredients.
