Ciprofloxacin 0.3% Ophthalmic Solution
Store in refrigerator or at controlled room temperature away from moisture and sunlight; do not freeze.
Ciprofloxacin Ophthalmic Solution is a broad-spectrum antibiotic eye drop commonly prescribed by veterinarians to help treat bacterial eye infections in pets. It works by targeting and stopping the growth of susceptible bacteria, making it a trusted option for managing conditions such as conjunctivitis and corneal infections when recommended by your veterinarian.
This easy-to-use liquid formula is designed for precise application directly to the eye, helping deliver medication right where it's needed. When used as directed, it can help reduce redness, discharge, and discomfort while supporting your pet's healing and overall eye health.
Ciprofloxacin Ophthalmic Solution should only be used under the guidance of a licensed veterinarian, as dosing and duration vary based on your pet's species, size, and condition. Following your veterinarian's instructions closely helps ensure safe, effective treatment and the best possible outcome for your pet's vision and comfort.
Ciprofloxacin is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to it, other fluoroquinolones, or any component of the formulation. Ophthalmic preparations are for topical ophthalmic use only; not for injection subconjunctivally or into the anterior chamber of the eye. Fluoroquinolone-induced retinal toxicity in domestic cats has not been demonstrated with the topical formulation.
Adverse effects reported in humans or animals include blurred vision, tearing, eye pain, redness, itching, and a bad taste in the mouth. Crystalline drug precipitates may be noted in the superficial portion of corneal defects during use. The arthropathy that occurs in immature animals associated with oral administration of quinolones has not been noted following topical ophthalmic administration.

- A secondary method of drug disposal is to remove the unwanted medication from any wrappers or containers and place it in a plastic bag with moist coffee grounds or cat litter. This can be disposed of in the regular garbage collection.
- Please do NOT dispose of unwanted meds down the drain or toilet, as this may eventually find its way into the human water supply.

Disposal of Medical Sharps
- When you're finished with the syringe and needle, do not try to recap, remove, bend or break the needle. This is where most injuries occur.
- Dispose the syringe and needle immediately in a nearby sharps container. All sharps must be deposited in a puncture-proof container. Make sure your storage location is child and animal proof.
- As with all product handling, make sure you wash your hands after handling medical sharps.
Disposal of Sharps Container
- When your sharps container is half-full, sift dry Portland Cement throughout the sharps. Fill the container with water, and rotate until the cement is mixed and the sharps have been distributed throughout the cement mixture. Let cement dry for 24 hours.
- Seal the lid of the container tightly and use duct tape to seal. Label the container "Livestock Sharps" to properly identify the contents.
- Dispose of the containers in accordance with your state's regulations.
