Ciplox Eye/Ear Drops

Product Overview

Ciplox Eye/Ear Drops is an antibiotic solution used to treat bacterial infections affecting the eyes or ears. It works by preventing the bacteria from multiplying, which helps in resolving infections such as conjunctivitis (commonly known as pink eye), corneal ulcers, or ear infections caused by harmful bacteria.

You should use Ciplox Eye/Ear Drops as directed by your healthcare provider. Even if symptoms improve, complete the entire prescribed course to ensure the infection is fully treated and to avoid recurrence. Always wash your hands before and after applying the drops. Avoid using contact lenses during eye treatment unless your doctor advises otherwise. Store the medication as instructed and never share it with others.

Possible Side Effects

Some mild side effects are commonly observed, including a slight burning or discomfort in the eye, a gritty sensation, or redness (ocular hyperemia). Temporary corneal deposits may appear with frequent use but typically resolve without intervention. Some individuals may experience a bitter or unusual taste in their mouth after applying the drops, which is generally harmless. If these effects persist or cause significant discomfort, consult your doctor.

Precautions

Do not use this medication if you are allergic to ciprofloxacin or other antibiotics from the quinolone group. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of ear surgery or serious health issues, inform your doctor before starting the treatment. Avoid driving or operating machinery until any temporary visual disturbances from the medication clear up. Do not use the drops for longer than prescribed or for conditions not recommended by your healthcare provider.
