Here's how to correctly use Zipro 500mg Drops:

• Always wash your hands before handling the medicine to prevent contamination.

• Tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket if you're applying it to your eye. For ear application, tilt your head so that the affected ear faces upwards.

• Hold the dropper above your eye or ear and squeeze out one drop.

• Close your eye or keep your head tilted for a few minutes. Avoid blinking or rubbing your eye.

• Replace and tighten the cap on the dropper bottle immediately after use.

Zipro 500mg Drops are applied directly into the affected eye or ear.

Zipro 500mg Drops contain ciprofloxacin (500 mg), which acts on your body in several ways:

• Bactericidal Action: Ciprofloxacin works by interfering with the bacteria's ability to reproduce and grow. It achieves this by inhibiting an enzyme called DNA gyrase, which is vital for bacterial DNA replication.

• Disruption of Bacterial Cells: By blocking DNA gyrase, ciprofloxacin causes damage to the bacterial cells' genetic material. This disruption inhibits the cells from functioning correctly or reproducing, thereby eliminating the infection.

• Broad Spectrum Activity: Ciprofloxacin has a broad spectrum of activity, meaning it can act against a wide range of bacteria types. This includes both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it effective against diverse bacterial infections.

Remember that ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic and thus only effective against bacterial infections; it will not work for viral infections like colds or flu.
