What Is Ciloxan?
Ciloxan (ciprofloxacin ophthalmic) is a prescription medication used to manage bacterial eye infections, including bacterial conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers. It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for bacterial DNA replication, effectively killing the bacteria causing the infection. With the right dose and ongoing monitoring, most bacterial eye infections clear within days and vision-threatening complications can be avoided.

Is Online Ciloxan Treatment Right for You?
Ciloxan (ciprofloxacin ophthalmic) is prescribed for adults and children with confirmed or suspected bacterial eye infections, including bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye) and corneal ulcers caused by susceptible organisms. It is not appropriate for viral or fungal eye infections, and a physician will review your symptom history to confirm a bacterial cause before prescribing.
Because eye infections can involve the cornea or deeper ocular structures, your doctor will consider your full eye health history, any prior infections, contact lens use, and risk factors for resistant organisms to determine whether Ciloxan is the right treatment for you.

Frequently asked questions
Ciloxan is FDA-approved to treat bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye) and corneal ulcers caused by susceptible bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, among others.
For bacterial conjunctivitis, the typical regimen is one to two drops in the affected eye every two hours while awake for the first two days, then one to two drops every four hours while awake for the next five days. For corneal ulcers, dosing is more frequent and should be followed exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
You should not wear contact lenses while you have an active eye infection and while using Ciloxan. Contacts can trap bacteria, slow healing, and increase the risk of further irritation or corneal damage. Your doctor will advise you on when it is safe to resume wearing them.
Most patients notice improvement in redness, discharge, and discomfort within 24 to 48 hours of starting treatment. It is important to complete the full course of drops even if symptoms improve early, to prevent the infection from returning or resistance from developing.
The most frequently reported side effects include temporary stinging or burning upon application, eye discomfort, a white crystalline precipitate in the eye (more common with corneal ulcer dosing), and mild redness or itching. Serious allergic reactions are rare but require immediate medical attention.
Ciloxan contains the same active ingredient (ciprofloxacin) as oral Cipro, but it is formulated specifically for ophthalmic use at a much lower concentration. It is applied directly to the eye and is not intended to be swallowed. The two formulations are not interchangeable.
Doctronic uses an AI-powered evaluation to gather your symptoms and medical history, which is then reviewed by a licensed physician. If treatment is appropriate, your doctor creates a personalized treatment plan, which may include a prescription sent to your preferred pharmacy.
