MECHANISM OF ACTION: Ciprofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic active against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It functions by inhibiting DNA gyrase, a type II topoisomerase, and topoisomerase IV, enzymes necessary to separate bacterial DNA, thereby inhibiting cell division. INDICATIONS: This medication treats only bacterial eye and ear infections. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Ciprofloxacin is contraindicated in persons with a history of hypersensitivity to ciprofloxacin, any member of the quinolone class of antimicrobial agents, or any of the product components. SIDE EFFECTS: Eye discomfort, itching, redness, tearing, eyelid crusting, feeling as if something is in your eye, blurred vision, a bad taste in your mouth, or sensitivity to light may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly. DRUG INTERACTIONS: Ciprofloxacin interacts with other drugs, herbal and natural supplements, a characteristic it shares with other widely used antibacterial drugs such as amoxicillin, trimethoprim, azithromycin, cephalexin, and doxycycline. WARNING: 1. If irritation persists or increases, discontinue the use and consult the physician. 2. Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface as this may contaminate the solution. DOSAGE: As directed by the physician. DIRECTIONS: Use the solution within one month after opening the container. Do not use it if the solution contains particles/suspended matter. STORAGE: Store in a cool, dry place. Protect from light. PRESENTATION: 10ml plastic vial BARCODE: 0108906044105263 0118906044105260 0128906044105267
