Ciprodex treats bacterial ear infections (outer ear infections and middle ear infections.)

Obtaining a Ciprodex prescription online is simple; visit Your Doctors Online and connect with a doctor anytime, anywhere. Our online doctor will ask about your symptoms to determine treatment. Please know that a Ciprodex will only be provided after a consultation with our doctor and if the medication is appropriate and safe.

What is Ciprodex?

Ciprofloxacin and dexamethasone are two drugs included in this combination product. Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic of the fluoroquinolone drug class and is used to manage bacterial ear infections. Dexamethasone helps reduce inflammation as well.

Uses of Ciprodex

When the middle ear becomes infected and inflamed, a condition known as otitis media develops, Ciprodex is used to treat middle ear infections in kids. Ciprodex allows doctors to give these kids targeted treatment that will reduce their symptoms and help them get better. When water accumulates in the ear canal, it can lead to an infection that can lead to discomfort, pain, and inflammation. 

It is important to note that a swimmer’s ear can affect people of all ages, making this treatment option valuable for individuals of different ages. Ciprofloxacin and dexamethasone are the two active ingredients found in the Ciprodex medication. The fluoroquinolone antibiotic ciprofloxacin is widely used to treat various bacterial infections. But dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, helps reduce inflammation and suppresses the immune response.

How does it work?

The bacteriostatic properties of the drug Ciprodex make it an effective treatment for bacterial infections. The medication specifically targets and inhibits the protein that aids in bacterial replication, thus preventing the bacteria from multiplying. Ciprodex works by inhibiting the protein’s function, which slows or stops the growth of bacteria. One additional benefit of Ciprodex is its ability to effectively reduce inflammation, alleviate ear swelling, and relieve discomfort.

What are the different dosage forms of Ciprodex?

Ciprodex is dispensed as a 7.5 ml sterile otic suspension with a composition of 0.3%/0.1%. It is only used as an ear suspension and is not available in any other dosage form or strength.

Who can use Ciprodex?

Children with tubes in their ears aged six months and older can receive treatment for bacterial middle ear infections with ciprofloxacin-dexamethasone ear drops. People aged one and older can also use them to treat outer ear infections. 

How to use Ciprodex?

Ciprodex ear drops over the counter are not available. Use Ciprodex ear drops as advised by your doctor carefully and keep the infected ear clean and dry. Avoid getting the medicine in your eyes, nose, or mouth or injecting it. Warm the drops in your hands and shake the bottle before use. Lie on your side with the infected ear up, and after putting the drops, keep the ear tilted up for 60 seconds.

Avoid touching the applicator tip to maintain sterility. For middle ear infections with tubes, gently press the ear opening’s projection to allow drops through the tube. For outer ear infections, pull the ear lobe up and back. Complete the entire treatment course even if symptoms improve. Dosage varies, so follow your doctor’s instructions. Take it when possible if you miss a dose, but avoid doubling doses.
