Cifran Eye/Ear Drops are instilled topically.

Cifran Eye/Ear Drops contains two active ingredients that work together to fight against bacterial infections:

• Ciprofloxacin (0.3%): This ingredient is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that acts on bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes. These enzymes are essential for bacterial DNA replication and transcription. By inhibiting their activity, ciprofloxacin prevents the bacteria from multiplying and spreading, effectively managing the infection.

• Benzalkonium chloride (0.012%): This component works as a preservative in the solution. Its function is to prevent microbial contamination of the solution, maintaining its effectiveness throughout its shelf life.

• Always store Cifran Eye/Ear Drops at a steady room temperature not exceeding 30°C.

• Keep the medicine bottle tightly closed to keep out air and moisture.

• Protect the bottle from direct sunlight and any kind of heat source.

• Make sure to store it in a place inaccessible to children.

• Use the solution within one month after opening the container.

• If you have an eye or ear infection, make sure to maintain high standards of hygiene. Wash your hands frequently to prevent further bacterial spread, especially before applying Cifran Eye/Ear Drops.

• Avoid swimming in public pools or other bodies of water that might be contaminated, as this can worsen ear infections.
