About Cipad Eye Drop

Cipad Eye Drop belongs to the class of medicines known as fluoroquinolone antibiotics used to treat corneal ulcers and bacterial conjunctivitis. A corneal ulcer is an open lesion on the cornea (clear tissue at the front of the eye). Conjunctivitis (pink eye) is the inflammation or infection of the conjunctiva (white part of the eye) and the inner eyelid.

Cipad Eye Drop contains Ciprofloxacin which works by killing the infection-causing bacteria. Thus Cipad Eye Drop treats bacterial eye infections and corneal ulcers.

Use Cipad Eye Drop as advised by the doctor. Stinging or burning sensation, gritty feeling in the eye, irritation, white deposits on the eye surface (cornea), and redness are common side effects of Cipad Eye Drop. The majority of these side effects fade with time without the need for medical intervention. However, if you experience these side effects on a regular basis, you should visit your doctor.
