ZOXAN D DROPS 5ML is a combination of antibiotic and steroid medication used to treat bacterial eye and ear infections. An ear infection occurs when bacteria invade the middle or outer ear, causing pain and inflammation. Bacterial eye infection occurs when pathogenic bacteria enter any eye portion, including the eyeball, conjunctiva, and cornea.

ZOXAN D DROPS 5ML contains ciprofloxacin and dexamethasone. Ciprofloxacin has bactericidal activity and works by suppressing the enzyme DNA gyrase, which is essential for bacterial DNA synthesis. Dexamethasone is a steroid that reduces inflammation and symptoms associated with infection, such as redness and irritation by inhibiting the chemicals such as prostaglandins that cause inflammation. As a result, ZOXAN D DROPS 5ML treats bacterial eye/ear infections.

You are advised to use ZOXAN D DROPS 5ML for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. Sometimes, you may experience certain common side effects, such as discomfort, irritation, stinging sensation, and dysgeusia (taste disorder). Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Do not use ZOXAN D DROPS 5ML if you are allergic to any of its components. Talk to your doctor if the irritation persists despite using ZOXAN D DROPS 5ML for a week or if it worsens. Consult your doctor before using ZOXAN D DROPS 5ML if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Please do not touch the tip of the dropper to the eye/ear or surrounding areas as it may contaminate the contents. ZOXAN D DROPS 5ML should be used in children only if prescribed by the doctor.

ZOXAN D DROPS 5ML contains ciprofloxacin and dexamethasone. Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that kills bacteria by preventing their growth. Dexamethasone is a steroid that reduces inflammation and infection-related symptoms such as redness and discomfort. It acts by inhibiting the chemicals that cause inflammation, such as prostaglandins. As a result, ZOXAN D DROPS 5ML aids in treating eye/ear infections.

Do not use ZOXAN D DROPS 5ML if you are allergic to any of its components. Before using ZOXAN D DROPS 5ML, inform your doctor if you have vision problems, severe eye pain, glaucoma (high blood pressure), eye damage, eye surgery, hearing problems (cytotoxicity), a perforated eardrum, chronic otitis media, or viral ear infections (herpes simplex otitis externa and herpes zoster otitis external). Notify the doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. Contact your doctor if the infection symptoms persist or worsen after two weeks of treatment.
