Ciloxan is a type of antibiotic eye drop containing the active ingredient ciprofloxacin. They belong to a group of treatments called ‘fluoroquinolone’ antibiotics. You’ll typically use one or two drops four times a day to kill off the bacteria that cause eye infections.
Ciloxan can be used to treat a range of bacterial eye infections, like conjunctivitis (also known as pink eye) or an infected corneal ulcer.
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics like Ciloxan target and inhibit two enzymes in the bacteria that cause the infection: bacterial topoisomerase IV and topoisomerase II. These are necessary for the bacteria to split into daughter cells during cell division, and disrupting them stops the infection spreading, kills off the bacteria, and clears the infection up.
For bacterial eye infections, you’ll take a dose of Ciloxan that contains 0.3% weight per volume of the active ingredient ciprofloxacin. This works out as about 3 mg per ml of solution. You’ll usually take one or two drops, four times a day to treat bacterial eye infections.
You can also get Ciloxan as an ointment, with each gram containing around 3 mg of ciprofloxacin.

If you want to know how to use Ciloxan eye drops, follow these simple steps:
How long you’ll use Ciloxan for depends on the infection you’re using it to treat. For most bacterial eye infections, you’ll usually take Ciloxan for a week or two. It’ll get to work as soon as you take your first dose, and you should notice your symptoms improve in just a couple of days. Some people may find their symptoms clear up completely after as little as three days, but it’s important to keep using Ciloxan for as long as your clinician has instructed you to.
You should only use Ciloxan eye drops as you’re instructed to by your clinician. If you forget to take a dose of Ciloxan, it’s not an issue – just take your next dose when it’s due. Don’t take a double dose to make up for having missed one.
If you use more Ciloxan than you should, it’s unlikely to cause any adverse effects. Simply wash the excess out of your eye with lukewarm water. Likewise, accidentally swallowing some of this medicine shouldn’t cause any serious issues, but you should contact your doctor if you ingest any, just in case.
