What is Ciprodex used for?
Ciprodex works by killing the bacteria that cause the infection, and it also helps reduce inflammation. It is available as a prescription medication and can be administered in either ear canal or as a drop in the eye.
How long do I leave Ciprodex in my ear?
When you put the drops in your ear, you should remain in a position where you tilt your head or lie on your side for three to five minutes to ensure the liquid stays in the canal.
Will Ciprodex remove ear wax?
Ear wax is a natural substance produced by the body to help protect the ear canal. Ear wax can become a problem when it accumulates and blocks the ear canal. Ciprodex is an antibiotic medication that is often prescribed to treat ear infections. Some people believe that Ciprodex can be used to remove ear wax.
There is no evidence that Ciprodex can be used to remove ear wax. Using Ciprodex to remove ear wax may cause more harm than good. Ciprodex may cause the ear wax to become harder and more difficult to remove. It may also cause pain and irritation in the ear canal.
