Description

Ciprofloxacin 0.3% Ophthalmic Solution is a sterile topical antibiotic used for the treatment of bacterial infections of the eye, including bacterial conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers. The active ingredient, ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, and repair.

This ophthalmic solution is specifically designed for ocular use and is formulated to achieve effective therapeutic concentrations in the target tissues. It is suitable for treating infections caused by susceptible Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Ciprofloxacin 0.3% Ophthalmic Solution is supplied in a 5 mL dropper bottle. The typical dosage regimen involves instilling one or two drops into the affected eye(s) at regular intervals, as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Potential side effects include transient eye irritation, redness, or a burning sensation, which usually subside with continued use.
