Description
Ciprofloxacin Eye Drops are antibiotic eye drops used to treat bacterial eye infections such as conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers. They contain ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, which works by inhibiting bacterial DNA replication, leading to bacterial cell death.
In the UK, ciprofloxacin eye drops are available under various brand names, including Ciloxan. These drops are typically available in 5 ml bottles. ([medicines.org.uk](https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/836/pil?utm_source=openai))
The usual dosage for ciprofloxacin eye drops is 1 or 2 drops into the affected eye four times a day. For severe infections, your doctor may advise more frequent application. ([nhs.uk](https://www.nhs.uk/medicines/ciprofloxacin/how-and-when-to-take-or-use-ciprofloxacin/?utm_source=openai))
Common side effects may include mild eye irritation, burning, redness, or itching at the site of application. Serious side effects are rare but can include eye damage, inflammation, or double vision. ([drugs.com](https://www.drugs.com/uk/pdf/leaflet/418980.pdf?utm_source=openai))
Ciprofloxacin eye drops are contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ciprofloxacin or other quinolone antibiotics. They should be used cautiously in patients with a history of tendon disorders related to fluoroquinolone use.

It’s important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed, even if symptoms improve before completion, to ensure the infection is fully eradicated and to prevent antibiotic resistance.
