Ciprofloxacin/Dexamethasone otic solution is a prescription ear drop used to treat acute outer ear infections (otitis externa), commonly known as swimmer’s ear. This condition typically involves inflammation and bacterial infection of the ear canal, causing pain, swelling, and discharge.
This dual-action medication contains Ciprofloxacin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic that kills bacteria and Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid that reduces swelling and discomfort.
Together, they treat both the underlying infection and associated inflammation.
