What Is Ciprofloxacin Dexamethasone Otic?
Ciprofloxacin Dexamethasone Otic (Ciprodex) is a prescription medication used to manage bacterial ear infections, including acute otitis media in patients with ear tubes and acute otitis externa. It works by combining ciprofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV to stop bacterial replication, with dexamethasone, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and swelling in the ear canal. With the right dose and ongoing monitoring, most patients experience significant symptom relief within a few days of consistent use.

Is Online Ciprofloxacin Dexamethasone Otic Treatment Right for You?
To qualify for a Ciprofloxacin Dexamethasone Otic refill through Doctronic, you should have a confirmed history of bacterial ear infection, such as otitis externa or acute otitis media with tympanostomy tubes, previously treated with this medication. Our licensed physicians will review your prior diagnosis and treatment response to determine whether a refill is appropriate.
Because this medication acts directly on the ear canal and middle ear, our physicians will also consider any history of ear conditions, including perforated eardrums (outside of tube placements), prior ear surgeries, or known hypersensitivity to fluoroquinolones or corticosteroids before approving a refill.

Frequently asked questions
Ciprofloxacin Dexamethasone Otic (Ciprodex) is used to treat bacterial ear infections, specifically acute otitis externa (swimmer's ear) and acute otitis media in patients who have tympanostomy tubes. It combines an antibiotic to eliminate bacteria with a steroid to reduce pain and swelling.
The usual dosage for adults and children with ear tubes is 4 drops instilled into the affected ear twice daily for 7 days. For otitis externa, the same dose applies. Warm the bottle in your hands for 1 to 2 minutes before use, lie with the affected ear upward, instill the drops, and remain in that position for 60 seconds. Always follow your physician's specific instructions.
Ciprodex is specifically indicated for use in patients with tympanostomy tubes, which involves an opening in the eardrum. However, use in cases of spontaneous or traumatic eardrum perforation is a clinical judgment call. You should inform your physician of any known eardrum perforation before receiving or refilling this prescription.
Most patients begin to notice improvement in ear pain and discharge within 1 to 2 days of starting treatment. The full 7-day course should be completed even if symptoms improve earlier, to ensure the infection is fully cleared and to reduce the risk of recurrence.
Common side effects include ear discomfort or pain at the site of application, ear residue or deposits, and itching in the ear. Serious allergic reactions are rare but possible, particularly in individuals with a known sensitivity to fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Contact your physician if you experience worsening symptoms or signs of an allergic reaction.
Ciprodex is FDA-approved for use in pediatric patients 6 months of age and older for acute otitis media with tubes, and for those with otitis externa. However, this Doctronic refill page is intended for adults 18 and older. Pediatric patients should be seen by their treating physician.
Doctronic uses an AI-guided evaluation to gather your health history and current symptoms. A licensed physician then reviews your information, and if appropriate, issues a treatment plan including your prescription refill. The process is fully online and typically fast, so you can get back on track without an in-person visit.
Yes. Doctronic is staffed by licensed physicians whose work is doctor-reviewed and audited for quality. The platform is HIPAA-compliant, meaning your health information is kept private and secure. Refills are only issued when a physician determines it is clinically appropriate for you.
