Uses of Zeprodex Otic Drops

Zeprodex Otic Drops ear drops are used to treat bacterial infections of the outer ear canal (otitis externa, often called swimmer’s ear), which cause pain, itching, swelling and discharge.

How Zeprodex Otic Drops works

Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that blocks enzymes bacteria need to copy their DNA, so they cannot multiply. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the ear canal, easing swelling, redness, itching and pain while the infection is treated.

• Ear discomfort or itching
• A feeling of fullness in the ear
