Description
Ciprofloxacin, Chlorpheniramine Maleate, and Zinc Sulphate Eye/Ear Drops is a combination medication used for treating bacterial infections and allergic conditions of the eyes and ears. Ciprofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial DNA replication, effectively eliminating bacteria causing infections. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antihistamine that helps relieve itching, redness, and other allergic symptoms. Zinc Sulphate acts as an astringent and promotes healing of irritated tissues.
Mechanism of Action:
- Ciprofloxacin inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes, preventing bacterial DNA replication and leading to bacterial cell death.
- Chlorpheniramine Maleate blocks H1 histamine receptors, thereby alleviating allergic responses such as itching and swelling.
- Zinc Sulphate acts as an astringent and supports epithelial healing, aiding recovery from irritation and inflammation.
Indications:
- Treatment of bacterial infections of the eye and ear, including conjunctivitis, blepharitis, otitis externa, and other superficial infections.
- Relief of allergic symptoms associated with ocular and otic conditions, such as itching and redness.
- Supportive treatment for inflammation and irritation of the eye and ear.
