"I don't know why people have such bad experiences with this, but as a student, I will say it's 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 recommend this to those who have a bad ear infection, but it must be prescribed by your doctor."

"I am on the 2nd day of these ear drops. Lots of pain in the right ear, I think because there is a hole in that eardrum. Also using in the left ear for crystallized wax buildup, and that ear has a tube. Is there not something else? Plus, I'm taking ciprofloxacin by mouth."

"On day four, I stopped sleeping, started having night sweats, bugs crawling on my skin, slurred speech, very high HR. Unfortunately, I couldn't believe that it was ear drops, and so I continued taking them for another 8 years, by which time I totally deteriorated. Since stopping it a month ago, I still have insomnia, high HR, terrible tinnitus, painful muscles, fatigue, panic attacks, etc. I have since found out I was 'floxed' and that the damage to my CNS might even be permanent. Please look for alternatives and NEVER allow this near your child!!"

"I had been battling ear eczema for 3 years, with an infection, and had been on several medications before this one, and I used it once, and my ear completely healed up."

"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."

"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!"

"It works well, but it depends on the severity of your ear infection, whether it's inner or middle (which is worse)."

"Still using it. I just can't believe the states. You guys pay $208? God, even without insurance, it's only 50 bucks, though I paid $7.08 with my plan. Poor people."

"My two-year-old had a severe ear infection and did not respond to this antibiotic at all, so after five straight days of 104-degree 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."
