How it works
Ceflox-Dee Optic Eye/Ear Drops is a combination of three medicines: Ciprofloxacin, Dexamethasone, and Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose. Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that works by stopping the action of a bacterial enzyme called DNA-gyrase. Dexamethasone is a steroid that works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation (redness and swelling) and allergies. Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose is a lubricant that works similar to natural tears and provides temporary relief from burning and discomfort due to dryness of the eye.
Quick Tips
Use it twice a day (in the morning and the evening). If your symptoms are particularly severe, your doctor may suggest you use them up to four times a day. Wash your hands first before applying Ceflox-Dee Optic Eye/Ear Drops. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface. Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute immediately after putting the medication. Do not wear contact lenses until your infection clears up. Along with using Ceflox-Dee Optic Eye/Ear Drops, give warm compress to your eyes to get relief from itching and burning sensation. Take care to avoid spreading the infection from one eye to the other and to other members of your family.
