Ceflox-Dee Optic Eye/Ear Drops
Prescription RequiredProduct introduction
Ceflox-Dee Optic Eye/Ear Drops is a medicine used to treat bacterial eye/ear infections. It works by killing and stopping the growth of microorganisms that cause the infection. It also lubricates the eyes and blocks the production of certain chemicals that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy.
Ceflox-Dee Optic Eye/Ear Drops is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by the doctor. Use it regularly at evenly spaced time intervals or as prescribed by your doctor. You should not discontinue using the medicine unless your doctor tells you so. Stopping the medication before time may allow the bacteria to continue their growth, which may result in return of the infection.
It is effective in killing many types of bacteria. However, it will not work for other types of eye/ear infections (e.g., viral) and, therefore, should only be used if prescribed by your doctor. Unnecessary use of any antibiotic can lead to a decrease in its effectiveness in the future.
Some people may experience local reactions such as burning, irritation, itching, and redness immediately after application. However, these are usually temporary and resolve with time. Consult your doctor if these side effects persist or if your condition worsens. It may cause some short-term blurring of vision. Do not drive immediately after administering this medicine in the eye. Let your doctor know if you are using any other medicines for the treatment of the same condition.

How Ceflox-Dee Eye/Ear Drops works
Ceflox-Dee Optic Eye/Ear Drops is a combination of three medicines : Ciprofloxacin, Dexamethasone, and Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, that treats bacterial eye/ear infections. Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic. It works by stopping the action of a bacterial enzyme called DNA-gyrase. This prevents the bacterial cells from dividing and repairing, thereby killing them. Dexamethasone is a steroid which works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation (redness and swelling) and allergies. Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose is a lubricant. It works similar to natural tears and provides temporary relief from burning and discomfort due to dryness of the eye.

Quick tips
- Your doctor has prescribed Ceflox-Dee Optic Eye/Ear Drops to cure your eye infection and improve your symptoms.
- Use it twice a day (in the morning and the evening). If your symptoms are particularly severe, your doctor may suggest you use them up to four times a day.
- Wash your hands first before applying Ceflox-Dee Optic Eye/Ear Drops. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface. If it does, squeeze out two or three drops straightaway onto some tissue and rinse the tip with saltwater.
- Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute, immediately after putting the medication. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink or rub your eye.
- Do not wear contact lenses until your infection clears up.
- Eye infections can cause your eyes to become more sensitive to sunlight than usual. Wearing sunglasses may help to prevent this.
- Along with using Ceflox-Dee Optic Eye/Ear Drops, give warm compress to your eyes to get relief from itching and burning sensation.
- Take care to avoid spreading the infection from one eye to the other, and to other members of your family. Washing your hands regularly (particularly after touching your eyes) and not sharing towels or pillows will help to prevent the infection from spreading.
