"I was on Ciprodex for my ear infection and this pill never worked and I could not sleep either, I would just toss and turn. These ear drops works very slow and are too expensive $400.00 co pay $50. I had to stop taking it so I could sleep. "

"I don't know why people have such bad experience with this but as a student I will say its so so good. I was so scared with my terrible ear infection and now it is so much better just in 4 days. I would recommended those who have bad ear infection but must prescribed by your doctor."

"This always does the trick for my ear infections. I have ear tubes and Ciprodex is far more effective than anything taken orally. I don't get side effects."
Are you taking this medicine?

"While it works fine it is so expensive, over $140.00 before insurance. Insurance only took $30.00 off this cost."

"My 6 year old was prescribed this and when I found out the cost I googled coupons for it and got it cheap! Had the pharmacist try a few of the codes until it came down in price. Works great too!"

"My two year old had severe ear infection and did not respond to this antibiotic at all so after five straight days of 104 temperature and vomiting the doctor gave a shot of Rocephin which broke the fever immediately and started the healing of the ears and then finished with a round of Augmentin. We did however get the severe diaper rash that the letter said could accompany this medication. "
