I Cip 0.3 % Eye Drops 5 ML

I Cip 0.3 % Eye Drops 5 ML are used for managing the following conditions:

• Controlling bacterial conjunctivitis, often referred to as pink eye

• Managing corneal ulcers, which are open sores or infections on the clear front part of the eye

To use I Cip 0.3 % Eye Drops 5 ML properly, follow these steps:

• Wash your hands thoroughly before touching the dropper.

• Tilt your head and gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.

• Hold the dropper above the eye and squeeze out the prescribed amount of medicine without touching your eye or eyelid.

• Close your eyes and press gently on the inner corner of the eye for a minute or two. This helps prevent the drops from draining out.

• If you use other eye medications, wait at least five minutes before instilling them.

• Consult your doctor for any specific instructions.

I Cip 0.3 % Eye Drops 5 ML are instilled topically.

I Cip 0.3 % Eye Drops 5 ML contain ciprofloxacin (0.3%), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• DNA Gyrase Inhibition: Ciprofloxacin inhibits a bacterial enzyme called DNA gyrase. This enzyme is crucial for bacteria to replicate and repair their DNA.

• Topoisomerase IV Inhibition: It also inhibits another bacterial enzyme named topoisomerase IV, which is essential for bacteria to transcribe their DNA.

• Bactericidal Effect: Ciprofloxacin inhibits key enzymes that prevent bacterial cells from dividing and multiplying, thus stopping the infection from progressing further. The medicine has a bactericidal effect, directly killing susceptible bacteria rather than simply stopping their growth.

• Store I Cip 0.3 % Eye Drops 5 ML at a steady room temperature below 30°C.

• Keep the bottle tightly closed to protect it from light and air.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• Maintain good eye hygiene, wash your hands thoroughly before instilling the eye drops, and avoid touching your eyes unnecessarily. These can help manage bacterial conjunctivitis, one of the conditions I Cip 0.3 % Eye Drops 5 ML helps manage.

• Avoid wearing contact lenses until your eye infection clears up completely. This is particularly important if you manage bacterial conjunctivitis or corneal ulcers with I Cip 0.3 % Eye Drops 5 ML, as wearing contact lenses can irritate your eyes further.
