Ciloxan or Ciprofloxacin eye ointment is an antibiotic that belongs to a family of antibiotics called quinolone. Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections in certain parts of the body. This specific preparation is used to treat bacterial infections and possibly other inflammations in the eye. Ciloxan (Ciprofloxacin) is offered online by Canada pharmacies at a very reasonable price
When used correctly, Ciloxan will treat eye infections very effectively. Most often, Ciprofloxacin is applied in a thin strip to the eye’s inner lid. Certain medications can interact with Ciloxan and should be avoided during treatment; if any of these medications must be used during the course of Ciprofloxacin, your doctor will give you very specific directions on using them together. Ciloxan also interacts with certain foods, most notably caffeine. Please avoid eating or drinking foods with caffeine during treatment.
Before using Ciloxan, be sure to tell your doctor if you have had an allergic reaction to Ciprofloxacin or other quinolone antibiotic. If you are unsure if the antibiotic you reacted to falls in the quinolone family, tell your doctor which antibiotic you reacted to and what your symptoms included. Also let your doctor know if you have any food related allergies including dyes, preservatives, and any animals you may react to as well.
Ciloxan is not recommended for the use in the very young children, especially those under the age of 2 and pregnant women. Older adults should use caution when using Ciprofloxacin since it is unknown if the medications are processed the same as in younger adults or if other side effects may occur due to age and the slowing of the body.
Ciloxan can cause many common side effects, including blurry vision. Use caution if you are required to drive, use heavy machinery, or any other activity that requires accurate eye sight. Other common side effects are crustiness in the corner of the eye, a mild burning or discomfort, an itching or redness in the lining of the eyelids. More rarely, people have experienced an increased sensitivity to light, swelling of the eyelid, or dryness of the eye while taking Ciprofloxacin. If these symptoms become severe or will not go away, call your doctor; your doctor should also be immediately notified if these symptoms appear: severe itching, burning, swelling, eye pain, redness, discomfort, vision changes or loss of vision, symptoms of a new eye infection (oozing, drainage, or crustiness), or the first sign of a skin rash, no matter how mild.
To use Ciloxan ointment properly, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water. Sit down and tip your head back. Gently pull the lower lid away from the eye to allow for ointment to be applied. Most doses call for a ½ inch ribbon to be used, but be sure to follow your doctor’s instructions for the proper amount for you. Close eyes and leave them closed for 2 to 3 minutes. This will allow the medication to come in direct contact with the infection and give the most effective treatment. Keep the ointment as germ free as possible and avoid cross contamination by not touching the applicator to any surface, including the eye, and wiping it clean with a tissue after each application.
