Cipcoz-D Eye/Ear Drops is a combination of antibiotic and steroid medication used to treat bacterial eye and ear infections. An ear infection occurs when bacteria invade the middle or outer ear, causing pain and inflammation. Bacterial eye infection occurs when pathogenic bacteria enter any eye portion, including the eyeball, conjunctiva, and cornea.
Cipcoz-D Eye/Ear Drops contains ciprofloxacin and dexamethasone. Ciprofloxacin has bactericidal activity and works by suppressing the enzyme DNA gyrase, which is essential for bacterial DNA synthesis. Dexamethasone is a steroid that reduces inflammation and symptoms associated with infection, such as redness and irritation by inhibiting the chemicals such as prostaglandins that cause inflammation. As a result, Cipcoz-D Eye/Ear Drops treats bacterial eye/ear infections.
