cipLOX Eye/Ear Drops
Product introduction
cipLOX Eye/Ear Drops is an antibiotic that is used to treat bacterial infections in the eyes or ears. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria, helping clear up infections like conjunctivitis (pink eye), corneal ulcers, or ear infections caused by bacteria.
Use cipLOX Eye/Ear Drops exactly in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. 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. Avoid using contact lenses during treatment for an eye infection unless your doctor says it’s okay. Store the bottle properly, and don’t share it with others.
Common side effects of cipLOX Eye/Ear Drops include mild eye discomfort, a feeling of grittiness, or redness in the eyes (also known as ocular hyperaemia). In some cases, temporary corneal deposits may form, especially with frequent use, but these usually clear up on their own. You might also notice a strange or bitter taste in your mouth after using the medicine—this is generally harmless. If any of these side effects become bothersome or don’t go away, consult your doctor.
Do not use cipLOX 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.
