1. WHAT CILODEX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Cilodex is a suspension for auricular use (in the ear). It contains:
• ciprofloxacin, an antibiotic belonging to the group
fluoroquinolones.
Ciprofloxacin works by killing bacteria that cause infections
• and dexamethasone, a corticosteroid or anti-inflammatory agent
that will
help to relieve inflammation and redness.
Cilodex is an ear drop. This medicine is used to treat acute middle
ear
infection (otitis media) in patients with draining ear tubes
(tympanostomy
tubes or “Grommets”) or to treat an outer ear infection (acute
otitis
externa). It has been shown to be safe and effective in paediatric
patients
6 months of age and older for the treatment of middle ear infections
(AOMT) and 1 year of age and older for the treatment of outer ear
infections (AOE).
