Ciprodex is a prescription ear drop that combines ciprofloxacin, a powerful antibiotic, with dexamethasone, an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid. It is primarily used to treat middle ear infections and outer ear infections (otitis media and otitis externa). The dual-action formula not only kills bacteria but also reduces swelling and discomfort. Its targeted delivery ensures effective treatment directly at the site of infection with minimal systemic absorption.
