DropsClinical Overview
Ciprofloxacin and Dexamethasone is an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory combination for topical ophthalmic and otic administration. Ciprofloxacin eradicates susceptible ocular and otic bacterial pathogens by inhibiting DNA gyrase, while dexamethasone, a potent corticosteroid, suppresses inflammatory edema, pain, redness, and itching. Indicated for acute otitis media with tympanostomy tubes, acute otitis externa, and bacterial conjunctivitis or post-operative ocular inflammation.

Ciprofloxacin 250mg + Tinidazole 300mg Tablets
Ciprofloxacin and Tinidazole is a broad-spectrum dual antimicrobial combination. Ciprofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone, inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, targeting aerobic Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, while tinidazole, a second-generation nitroimidazole, generates free nitro-radicals that damage protozoal and anaerobic DNA. Indicated for mixed aerobic-anaerobic bacterial and protozoal infections, including amoebiasis, giardiasis, bacterial dysentery, pelvic inflammatory disease, and dental abscesses.
