CILOXAN Eye Drops

CILOXAN Eye Drops are an antibiotic medicine used to treat bacterial infections of the eye. In Pakistan, doctors commonly prescribe them for conditions such as:

• Bacterial conjunctivitis (red eye)

• Corneal ulcers

• Other eye infections caused by sensitive bacteria

These drops help reduce redness, irritation, and discharge by stopping the bacteria responsible for the infection.

Formula

The active ingredient in CILOXAN Eye Drops is Ciprofloxacin, which belongs to the fluoroquinolone group of antibiotics. It works by interfering with the bacteria’s ability to multiply, allowing the infection to clear.

Precautions

When using CILOXAN Eye Drops, the following points should be kept in mind:

• They should be used only under the supervision of a doctor.

• Wash your hands before applying the drops and avoid touching the dropper tip to prevent contamination.

• Contact lenses should not be worn during treatment unless advised otherwise.

• Inform your doctor if you have a history of allergies to quinolone antibiotics.

• Use the drops for the full prescribed duration, even if symptoms improve early.

Side Effects

Some patients may experience mild and temporary side effects, including:

• Stinging or burning in the eye after application

• Eye redness or discomfort

• Blurred vision for a short time after use

• Rarely, serious allergic reactions or swelling of the eyelids may occur
