Composition

Each milliliter of ophthalmic solution contains:

• Ciprofloxacin 0.30% w/v

Therapeutic Indications

Cipro-A Eye Drop 0.30% is indicated for the treatment of:

• Bacterial conjunctivitis

• Corneal ulcers

• Blepharitis caused by susceptible bacteria

• Other superficial ocular infections of the eye and adnexa

• Prevention of infection following minor ocular trauma or procedures, as advised by a physician

Mechanism of Action

Ciprofloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, and repair. This action leads to rapid bacterial cell death. Its broad-spectrum activity covers many gram-positive and gram-negative organisms commonly responsible for eye infections, making it a reliable choice in ophthalmic antibacterial therapy.

Key Benefits

• Broad-spectrum antibacterial activity

• Effective against common eye infection–causing bacteria

• Rapid relief from redness, discharge, and irritation

• Suitable for use in corneal ulcers and conjunctivitis

• Well established safety and efficacy in ophthalmic use

Dosage and Administration

Cipro-A Eye Drop should be used strictly as prescribed by a healthcare professional. The usual dosage for bacterial conjunctivitis involves instilling one to two drops into the affected eye(s) several times daily, depending on the severity of infection. For corneal ulcers, more frequent dosing may be required initially, followed by gradual reduction. Proper hand hygiene should be maintained before and after application. Avoid touching the dropper tip to prevent contamination.

Safety and Precautions

Cipro-A Eye Drop is generally well tolerated. Mild and temporary side effects may include eye irritation, burning sensation, stinging, itching, or a feeling of discomfort immediately after instillation. If severe irritation, allergic reaction, or worsening of symptoms occurs, medical advice should be sought promptly.

The eye drop should be used with caution in patients with known hypersensitivity to ciprofloxacin or other fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Prolonged use may result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms, including fungi.

Drug Interactions

Systemic drug interactions are unlikely due to minimal absorption following ophthalmic use. However, if using other eye medications, a time interval of at least 5 minutes should be maintained between applications.
