C Flox Eye/Ear Drops

C Flox Eye/Ear Drops contains ciprofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial infections of the eye or ear, depending on the doctor’s instructions. Each labeled drop delivers ciprofloxacin as the active ingredient in an eye/ear-drop solution from Calibre Pharmaceutical. It works only against susceptible bacteria, not viruses or fungal infections. This product is used when a clinician wants local antibiotic treatment directly at the infected site.

How it works: Ciprofloxacin stops bacteria from making the DNA they need to grow and multiply, which helps clear the infection. When used as C Flox Eye/Ear Drops, it works right at the infected ear area with less whole-body exposure than an oral antibiotic.

C Flox Eye/Ear Drops is a local-use ciprofloxacin drop, so it is meant for people a doctor has already assessed for a bacterial eye or ear infection. Because this is a labeled ear-drop product, it is chosen for direct placement into the ear canal to help treat infection where it is needed, rather than by mouth or injection. The exact labeled strength should be followed as prescribed, since dosing and duration depend on the infection being treated.

• Bacterial ear infections
• Outer ear infection treatment
• Doctor-directed local antibiotic therapy
• Susceptible bacterial eye/ear infections
• Infection control after ear examination or cleaning

• Use only in the ear if your doctor prescribed it for ear use; do not switch the route on your own.
• Wash your hands before and after using C Flox Eye/Ear Drops.
• Warm the bottle in your hands for a minute so the drops are more comfortable in the ear.
• Lie on your side or tilt your head and keep the treated ear facing up for several minutes after dosing.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to your ear, skin, or any surface to avoid contamination.
• Follow the exact number of drops and the exact schedule your doctor prescribed; do not stop early unless told to do so.

The dose for C Flox Eye/Ear Drops is measured in drops of ciprofloxacin as labeled on the package, and the exact number of drops depends on the condition being treated. It may be prescribed once or more than once daily, but the maximum per day and total treatment length are set by the doctor based on the infection and response. Do not use a different amount or longer schedule than prescribed, even if symptoms improve quickly.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Ciprofloxacin may include:

• Ear irritation or burning after instillation
• Temporary ear discomfort
• Itching in or around the ear
• Bad taste if the medicine drains toward the throat
• Mild headache
• Mild dizziness in some people

• Use only for the infection your doctor diagnosed; do not use for viral or fungal ear problems.
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of quinolone allergy or severe antibiotic reactions.
• Use caution if you have a perforated eardrum unless your clinician specifically instructed you to use it.
• Tell your doctor about seizure disorders, myasthenia gravis, or past tendon problems with antibiotics.
• Do not contaminate the dropper tip; contamination can worsen infection.
• If you wear hearing aids, ask your clinician when to remove and reinsert them during treatment.
• Contact a doctor if symptoms do not improve or get worse after starting C Flox Eye/Ear Drops.

• Theophylline
• Warfarin or other blood thinners
• Corticosteroids such as prednisone, which may raise tendon-risk concerns with fluoroquinolones
• Other ear medications unless your clinician says they can be used together

Store C Flox Eye/Ear Drops at room temperature, tightly closed, and protect it from excessive heat, freezing, and contamination.
