Why is Ciprodex prescribed?

Ciprodex (Ciprofloxacin/Dexamethasone) ear drops are a prescription medication that combine ciprofloxacin, a quinolone antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, and dexamethasone, a corticosteroid. These drops are used to treat middle ear infections (otitis media) and outer ear canal infections (otitis externa).

What does it do?

Ciprodex contains two medications that work in different ways to treat ear infections. Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that targets specific bacteria, preventing them from creating and repairing their DNA, which ultimately kills them. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation and redness caused by the infection.

How should I take it?

Do not ingest. Ciprodex is intended for use in the ears only. Shake the bottle well and wash your hands before each use. To warm the ear drops, hold the bottle in your hand for 1 or 2 minutes before applying. Using cold ear drops can cause dizziness, particularly in children with ear tubes.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a dose, apply Ciprodex as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and proceed with the next one. Do not use two doses at once.

It's crucial to finish the full prescribed course of ciprofloxacin/dexamethasone, even if your symptoms improve or disappear. This helps prevent future infections from becoming resistant to ciprofloxacin/dexamethasone or other similar medications.

What are the special precautions before taking Ciprodex?

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical history. And kindly note if you have a history of sensitivity to ciprofloxacin or quinolones. Ciprodex should be discontinued a skin rash or any other sign of hypersensitivity and may need immediate assistance.

In case your condition did not improve in a week using this medication. Contact your provider as you may need to discontinue treatment and do additional testing as it may develop to a new infection.

Does it have any side effects?

Contact your doctor immediately if you notice drainage from your ears after stopping this medication, especially if it happens two or more times within six months after discontinuing use.

Common side effects may include:
• Irritability
• Unusual taste in the mouth
• Buildup of debris in the ear canal
• Rash
• Pain in the ear, ear discomfort, or fullness

Prolonged use of Ciprofloxacin/Dexamethasone may result in an infection from other types of germs, such as fungi. If your ear infection does not improve after one week of using Ciprodex, or if it worsens, contact your healthcare provider.

This is not a complete list of side effects, and others may occur. For medical advice regarding side effects, reach out to your doctor.

Is it safe to take it with another drug?
Medications used in the ears are unlikely to interact with other drugs you may be taking. However, many medications can still interact with each other. Be sure to inform all of your healthcare providers about every medicine you are currently using.
How should I store it?

What action should I take in case of overdose?
An overdose of Ciprodex ear drops is unlikely to be harmful. However, if the medication is accidentally swallowed, seek immediate medical attention.
