For Otitis Externa "Without my insurance covering Ciprodex, I just paid $230 for 1/3 an ounce at the pharmacy. I have never had an ear infection but recently got a super nasty one from the ocean water in Puerto Rico. I've been on Ciprodex for two days, and it has helped, or was it the cephalexin and amoxicillin?"

For Middle Ear Infections "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."

For Otitis Externa "This antibiotic works by cutting up the DNA of the bacterium so (eventually) it can't grow its rotten little colonies. There's also a steroid added to reduce inflammation. It won't directly kill the existing bacteria."

For Middle Ear Infections "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!!"

For Otitis Externa "My son, while at his mother's, put a plastic bead for making jewelry in his ear. They didn't have tools at the ER, and we needed a follow-up with an ENT doctor to get it out. To prevent any type of infection, they gave us Ciprodex and Antipyrine-Benzocaine. For Ciprodex alone, a 7-day supply, they billed the insurance company $203.08. Of that, a 7-day supply cost me $17 out of pocket. Thank you, insurance, for paying the rest."
