What it is used for

Ciprofloxacin eye drops and ointment treat bacterial infections of the eye. They are used for bacterial conjunctivitis and, under an eye doctor's care, for bacterial ulcers of the cornea, the clear window at the front of the eye. They are not effective against infections caused by viruses or fungi.

How it works

Ciprofloxacin stops bacteria from copying their genetic material by blocking two of their enzymes, so the bacteria die.
