Ciprofloxacin+Boric Acid is used in the treatment of Bacterial eye/ear infections.
How Ciprofloxacin + Boric Acid works
Ciprofloxacin + Boric Acid is a combination of two medicines: Ciprofloxacin and Boric Acid. Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic. It prevents the bacterial cells in the eye/ear from dividing and repairing, thereby killing the bacteria. Boric Acid is an antiseptic which cleans out the eye/ear and relieves irritation.
Your doctor has prescribed Ciprofloxacin + Boric Acid to cure your infection and improve symptoms.
Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better.
Do not touch the tip to any surface, or to your eye/ear, to avoid contamination.
Talk to your doctor if your symptoms haven't started to improve within two days of starting treatment, if they get worse during treatment or if you get another eye /ear infection.
If using Ciprofloxacin + Boric Acid for the eye:
Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution.
Do not wear contact lenses while using this medication.
It may cause short term blurring of vision when first used. Use caution before driving or using machines.
