About CEPROLEN D EAR DROPS 5ML

CEPROLEN D EAR DROPS 5ML is a combination of antibiotic and steroid medication used to treat acute otitis media (middle ear infection) and acute otitis externa (outer ear canal infection) of bacterial origin in adults and children older than six months. Acute otitis media is a middle ear infection that results in swelling, redness, and fluid accumulation behind the eardrum. Acute otitis externa is characterized by ear canal inflammation.

CEPROLEN D EAR DROPS 5ML contains ciprofloxacin and dexamethasone. Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that kills bacteria by inhibiting their growth. Dexamethasone is a steroid that reduces inflammation and symptoms associated with infection, such as redness and irritation. It works by inhibiting the chemicals such as prostaglandins that cause inflammation. Thereby, CEPROLEN D EAR DROPS 5ML helps treat ear infections.

CEPROLEN D EAR DROPS 5ML is only for otic (ear) use. CEPROLEN D EAR DROPS 5ML may cause side effects such as ear discomfort, ringing in the ears, itchiness, or irritation in the ear.
