Detailed Description
What is ciprofloxacin ophthalmic?
Ciprofloxacin ophthalmic solution and ointment (brand name Ciloxan®) are antibacterial agents used in the treatment of bacterial infections of the eye in cats and dogs (e.g., conjunctivitis or keratitis)
Its use in dogs and cats is off label or extra label. Many drugs are commonly prescribed for off label use in veterinary medicine. In these instances, follow your veterinarian’s directions and cautions very carefully.
How is ciprofloxacin ophthalmic given?
Ciprofloxacin ophthalmic is a liquid that comes in a bottle with a dropper tip, or as an ointment. It is important not to touch the dropper or ointment tip on the eye or any other surface as this may contaminate the product.
Follow the directions that your veterinarian has provided as dosage instructions differ depending on the infection being treated.
If you are giving more than one eye medication, make sure you allow at least 5 to 10 minutes between medications, or follow the specific instructions from your veterinarian.
This medication will take effect quickly, in about 1 to 2 hours, but visible effects may take a few days to be recognized.
Are there any potential side effects?
The most frequent side effects are eye pain, redness, itching, tearing, blurry vision, and a bad taste in the mouth. Crystals may appear in the treated eyes for a few days after starting treatment, but should go away after a few days.
Some dogs are hypersensitive, or allergic to ciprofloxacin. Difficulty breathing may indicate an allergic reaction to this medication.
This short-acting medication should stop working within 24 hours.
Are there any drug interactions I should be aware of?
Certain drugs may interact with ciprofloxacin ophthalmic. It is important to tell your veterinarian about any medications (including vitamins, supplements, or herbal therapies) that your pet is taking.
