Buy Ciloxan

Ciloxan (Ciprofloxacin Ophthalmic) is a prescription medication used to treat bacterial eye infections, such as conjunctivitis. It can also be used to treat ulcers in the cornea of the eye. Ciloxan belongs to a class of medications called quinolone antibiotics. Ciloxan works by inhibiting specific enzymes in the DNA of bacterial cells that are responsible for cell division. By blocking cell division, Ciloxan can effectively stop the replication and growth of bacteria, and treat the infection. Ciloxan will only work for bacterial eye infections. It will not work for fungal or viral eye infections.

Ciloxan Directions:

Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not use this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying Ciloxan. Ask your doctor if contact lenses can be reinserted after application of the medication. Wash your hands before using eye medication. To apply the eye drops, tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Hold the dropper above the eye with the tip down. Look up and away from the dropper and squeeze out a drop. Close your eyes for 2 or 3 minutes with your head tipped down, without blinking or squinting. Gently press your finger to the inside corner of the eye for about 1 minute, to keep the liquid from draining into your tear duct. Use only the number of drops your doctor has prescribed. If you use more than one drop, wait about 5 minutes between drops. Wait at least 10 minutes before using any other eye drops your doctor has prescribed. To apply the ointment, tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Hold the ointment tube with the tip pointing toward this pocket. Look up and away from the tip. Squeeze out a ribbon of ointment into the lower eyelid pocket without touching the tip of the tube to your eye. Blink your eye gently and then keep it closed for 1 or 2 minutes. Use a tissue to wipe excess ointment from your eyelashes. After opening your eyes, you may have blurred vision for a short time. Avoid driving or doing anything that requires you to be able to see clearly.
