Cebran Eye Drops 5 ml is a combination medication primarily used to treat bacterial eye infections. Bacterial eye infection occurs when pathogenic bacteria enter any eye portion, including the eyeball, conjunctiva, and cornea.

Cebran Eye Drops 5 ml contains Ciprofloxacin and Boric acid. Ciprofloxacin works by suppressing the enzyme DNA gyrase, which is essential for bacterial DNA synthesis. Boric acid is an antiseptic. It provides soothing relief from eye irritation and helps to remove air pollutants and foreign materials. Together Cebran Eye Drops 5 ml prevents the spread of eye infections caused by a wide range of gram-negative bacteria causing eye infections.

Cebran Eye Drops 5 ml is a combination of two antibiotics: Ciprofloxacin and Boric acid, primarily used to treat eye bacterial infections (like conjunctivitis). Ciprofloxacin belongs to a class of fluoroquinolone that kills bacteria (bactericidal action) by preventing the synthesis of enzymes, namely DNA gyrase and Topoisomerase (II and IV), which is essential for the growth and survival of the bacterial cell. It has a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against aerobic gram-positive and aerobic gram-negative bacteria (that live in oxygen). Boric acid is an antiseptic. It provides soothing relief from eye irritation and helps to remove air pollutants and foreign materials.

Bacterial eye infections: Bacterial eye infection occurs when harmful bacteria invade any part of the eye, such as the eyeball, conjunctiva, or cornea. Symptoms of an infection include red eye, pain, discharge, watery/dry eyes, swelling, itching, and sensitivity to light. The common bacterial eye infections are conjunctivitis, stye, and keratitis. Conjunctivitis (pink eye) is the infection/inflammation of the conjunctiva (white part of the eye) and the inner eyelid. A stye is a bump on the eyelid or base of eyelashes. Keratitis is the inflammation of the cornea. It is a common problem in people who wear contact lenses.
