CIPRODEX
(ciprofloxacin 0.3% and dexamethasone 0.1%)
Sterile Otic Suspension

Do not use this medication in the eyes or take it by mouth. Ciprofloxacin and dexamethasone otic is intended for use in the ears only.

Do not touch the dropper opening to any surface, including the ears or hands. The dropper opening is sterile. If it becomes contaminated, it could cause another infection in the ear.

Notify your docif the condition does not improve or appears to worsen.
