Effectiveness
How Ciloxan Affects PatientsCiprofloxacin is an antibiotic that works against both common and uncommon bacteria. It does this by blocking two enzymes that bacteria need to survive, called DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. Ciprofloxacin is a hundred times more effective at blocking these enzymes in bacteria compared to in humans. Additionally, it has no cross resistance with other types of antibiotics, making it a useful tool when other antibiotics are no longer effective. This drug is also being looked into as a possible treatment for malaria, cancer, and AIDS.
How Ciloxan works in the bodyCiprofloxacin works by preventing bacteria from replicating their DNA. It does this by blocking the enzymes that help the bacteria to twist and coil its DNA. By stopping this process, Ciprofloxacin stops the bacteria from reproducing.

Ciloxan Toxicity & Overdose RiskAn overdose of ciprofloxacin may cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, crystals in the urine, reduced kidney function, and decreased urine output. This could progress over the next 6 days with rising levels of creatinine and urea in the blood. Patients may need prednisone, dialysis, or other supportive treatments. Depending on the severity of the overdose, patients may either recover normal kidney function or have chronic kidney failure. The lowest toxic dose of ciprofloxacin in rats is greater than 2000mg/kg. The drug has low absorption and is generally not a risk during pregnancy or breastfeeding

Ciloxan Reviews: What are patients saying about Ciloxan?
5Patient Review
7/9/2009 My daughter's eye swelling went down significantly after just three applications.
4.3Patient Review
6/22/2011 This treatment has been good for the redness and irritation of my eyelids. However, my eyelids are swollen and have white particles in the tissue of lower lids.
3.7Patient Review
1/12/2009 This medication was helpful when my infant scratched my eye--but I had to use numbing drops before applying this, which kind of defeats the purpose. All in all, though, it did its job without any nasty side effects.
3Patient Review
9/26/2009 I experienced a lot of irritation, burning, and itching around my eye area.
2Patient Review
3/18/2009 The only downside to this treatment is the inconvenience of using an ointment rather than drops. So far, no negative side effects otherwise.

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.What is Ciloxan eye drops?
"CILOXAN can be used to treat corneal ulcers and superficial infections of the eye and adnexa that are caused by certain strains of bacteria. Keep in mind any official guidance that exists on the appropriate use of antibacterial agents."
Answered by AI
Are Ciloxan and ciprofloxacin the same?
"The active ingredient in Ciloxan Eye Drops is ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, which is a type of antibiotic known as a fluoroquinolone. This antibiotic is effective against bacteria that cause infections. A prescription from a doctor is required to obtain Ciloxan Eye Drops."
Answered by AI
How long does Ciloxan take to work?
"You should generally feel better within a few days after taking ciprofloxacin, but this depends on the type of infection. If you don't start feeling better after a couple of days, or if you feel worse at any point, be sure to tell your doctor."
Answered by AI
What is Ciloxan used to treat?
"It will not work for other types of eye infections (e.g., viruses, fungi).
This text is discussing the usage of the medication ciprofloxacin to treat eye infections caused by bacteria. The medication belongs to a class of drugs known as quinolone antibiotics. These drugs work by stopping the growth of bacteria. It's important to note that this medication will only work on bacterial eye infections, and not on infections caused by viruses or fungi."
