Ciprozid-DX Eye Drop 0.3%+0.1% is a combination ophthalmic solution containing Ciprofloxacin (0.3%), a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic, and Dexamethasone (0.1%), a potent corticosteroid. This dual-action formulation is specifically designed to treat bacterial eye infections accompanied by inflammation, providing both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Ciprofloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for bacterial DNA replication, effectively eliminating the bacterial infection. Dexamethasone reduces inflammation, swelling, redness, and discomfort by suppressing the immune response locally in the eye. This combination ensures rapid relief of infection symptoms while addressing the inflammatory component for optimal recovery.

Ciprozid-DX Eye Drop allows topical application directly into the eye, providing localized action with minimal systemic absorption. It is suitable for both adults and children, although pediatric use should be guided by a healthcare professional.
