Use Cipro otic suspension precisely as prescribed. Apply the recommended number of drops directly into the affected ear canal, typically two to three times daily. Tilt your head to ensure proper distribution.
Complete the entire course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished. Premature discontinuation can lead to recurring infections. If symptoms worsen or don’t improve within a few days, consult your doctor.
Important Note: Cipro otic suspension is specifically for outer ear infections. Do not use it for inner ear infections or if you have a perforated eardrum. Always read the patient information leaflet carefully before use and discuss any concerns with your physician or pharmacist.
Proper hygiene is key to preventing reinfection. Avoid using cotton swabs or other objects in your ear canal, as this can introduce bacteria. Keep the affected ear dry as much as possible, and gently clean the external ear area with a clean cloth.
