Ciplox-D Drops contain three active ingredients:

• Ciprofloxacin (0.3%): This is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that combats bacterial infections. It works by blocking enzymes called DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV in your body. These enzymes play a key role in bacterial DNA replication, making them essential for bacteria to multiply.
• Dexamethasone (0.1%): As a synthetic glucocorticoid, dexamethasone has potent anti-inflammatory properties. It is a steroid that works by stopping the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation, thus reducing swelling, redness, and pain associated with inflammation in the eyes and ears.
• Benzalkonium Chloride (0.01%): This component acts as a preservative in Ciplox-D Drops. It's a quaternary ammonium compound known for its antimicrobial properties and helps keep the product sterile by preventing the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms.

• Ensure Ciplox-D Drops are stored in a cool, dark and dry place.
• The optimal storage temperature is between 15°C and 30°C.
• Safeguard the bottle from direct sunlight or extreme heat.
• Keep it out of reach of children for safety.
• It's crucial to use Ciplox-D Drops before the expiration date printed on the packaging.

If you're using Ciplox-D Drops to manage eye or ear infections, consider these specific diet and lifestyle tips:

• Maintain good hygiene practices to prevent the spread of infections. Regularly washing your hands, especially before touching your eyes or ears, can help.
• Try to avoid rubbing your eyes or ears, as this may exacerbate the infection.
• If you're prone to recurrent eye infections, consider wearing glasses instead of contact lenses until your doctor advises otherwise.
• Include foods rich in vitamin A and E in your diet. These vitamins are essential for eye health. Foods like carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach and almonds can help.
• Stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Dehydration can exacerbate dry eye symptoms.
• For children using Ciplox-D Drops, ensure your child avoids swimming in chlorinated pools as this can irritate their eyes or ears.
