Ciprofloxacin / dexamethasone otic "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?"

Ciprofloxacin / dexamethasone otic "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."

"Took this for a mild swimmer's ear infection. After I started taking drops, I felt ear pain. Then, as I continued, intense pain and swelling in my ear and jaw. By the second day, it felt like someone punched me in the ear and hurt my jaw. Finally stopped and took neomycin drops instead. Pain and swelling subsided. Ear is healing. Worst experience with ear drops ever."

Ciprofloxacin / dexamethasone otic "I had an outer ear infection. These drops made my left ear feel clogged up and ringing in my ear and ear pain. I would not recommend this medicine. I'm hoping it is temporary."

"It took 3 days for improvement, and in 5 days my ear canal was back to normal. The 6th day I could hear perfectly out of the right ear. So, I say it worked great. Be patient."

Ciprofloxacin / dexamethasone otic "Ciprodex was expensive but worth it! My double ear infection was markedly improved (pain-wise) after 12 hours! I had a $50 copay, but feeling better is worth it."
