Product introduction

Use Cipdose Eye/Ear Drops exactly as advised by your doctor, in the dose and duration. Keep using it for the full course, even if you start feeling better, because stopping early can allow the infection to come back. Always wash your hands before and after using the drops.

Common side effects of Cipdose Eye/Ear Drops include dysgeusia, corneal deposits, ocular discomfort, and ocular hyperemia. These are usually mild and resolve on their own. A strange or bitter taste in your mouth after using the medicine is generally harmless. However, if any of these side effects become bothersome or do not go away, consult your doctor.

Do not use Cipdose Eye/Ear Drops if you are allergic to ciprofloxacin or any other quinolone antibiotics. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of ear surgery or serious medical conditions, let your doctor know before starting treatment. Avoid driving or using machinery if the drops temporarily blur your vision. Never use it for longer than prescribed, and don’t use it for conditions it wasn’t meant to treat.

Frequently asked questions

Cipdose Eye/Ear Drops contains ciprofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. In the eye, it is indicated for the treatment of corneal ulcers and superficial infections caused by susceptible bacteria. In the ear, it is used to treat infections of the external auditory canal (otitis externa). It works by inhibiting bacterial enzymes required for DNA replication.
Cipdose Eye/Ear Drops is formulated for ophthalmic and otic use. However, care should be taken to avoid contamination. Do not allow the dropper tip to touch the eye, ear, fingers, or any surface. Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding proper use.
The duration of treatment depends on the type and severity of the infection. For corneal ulcers, dosing may be initiated frequently and continued for up to 14 days based on clinical response. For other infections, your doctor determines the treatment period. Complete the prescribed course even if symptoms improve earlier.
Contact lenses should not be worn during an active bacterial eye infection. If your doctor advises resuming use, remove lenses before applying the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
Common side effects include local burning or discomfort, redness, itching, and a foreign body sensation in the eye. In patients treated for corneal ulcers, a white crystalline precipitate may appear. This usually resolves during continued treatment.
Data on the use of ophthalmic ciprofloxacin during pregnancy are limited. Cipdose Eye/Ear Drops should be used only if the expected benefit justifies the potential risk. Ciprofloxacin may pass into breast milk after systemic use, so caution is advised in breastfeeding women.
