Ciloxan Description
What Ciloxan is
Ciloxan is an eye drop sold in Australia that contains ciprofloxacin, an antibiotic. It helps treat bacterial eye infections such as conjunctivitis and certain corneal problems. The product is available by prescription and is used to kill the bacteria causing the infection. It is not effective against viruses or allergies and should be used only as directed by a clinician.
Who may use Ciloxan
Adults and children over one year are commonly treated with Ciloxan, but the exact dose depends on the infection and the doctor’s advice. In some cases a pharmacist or doctor may tailor the plan after an examination. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have kidney or eye conditions, tell your clinician before starting Ciloxan. Do not use if you have a history of allergic reactions to ciprofloxacin or other quinolones.
How to use Ciloxan
Wash hands before handling the bottle. Tilt the head back and pull down the lower eyelid to make a small pocket. Put 1 or 2 drops into the affected eye, then close the eye for a moment. Wipe away excess liquid with a clean tissue. Wait at least five minutes before using any other eye medicine. Do not touch the dropper to your eye or fingers to avoid contamination. If you wear contact lenses, remove them during treatment and for 24 hours afterward unless your clinician says it is safe.
What to expect and duration
Many people notice improvement within a day or two of starting Ciloxan. It is important to complete the full course even if symptoms improve, to lower the chance of relapse or resistant bacteria. If there is no improvement after 48 to 72 hours, or if your eye becomes very painful, red, or the discharge worsens, seek medical advice promptly.
Side effects and safety
Common effects include temporary burning, stinging, or blurred vision after instilling the drops. These usually pass quickly. Rare reactions can be more serious, such as swelling, severe itching, or signs of an allergic reaction. If you notice eye swelling, severe pain, or unusual redness, contact a clinician right away. Ciprofloxacin can interact with other medicines you take by mouth; tell your doctor about all medicines you use. Stop using Ciloxan if you develop a bad reaction and seek care.
Australian context and online buying tips
In Australia, Ciloxan is prescribed by a clinician and can be ordered from licensed online pharmacies with a valid prescription. When buying online, choose a pharmacy that requires a prescription and provides pharmacist contact. Check the product label to confirm ciprofloxacin 0.3% and the correct eye drop format. Delivery times are usually a few business days, and you may be asked to confirm your details or upload a prescription. After opening, store the bottle as directed and discard any remaining drops after the advised period, commonly about four weeks, even if there is liquid left. If you are unsure about dosage or duration, contact the online pharmacy’s pharmacist before proceeding.
