What is a Generic Drug?
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Product Details
Description
Ciloxan (ciprofloxacin 0.3%) ear drops are used to treat inflammation of the outer ear canal.
Directions
Use Ciloxan ear drops exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you have any questions or concerns, contact your doctor or pharmacy.
Your doctor will tell you how often you should use the ear drops and for how long.
Generally, the Ciloxan ear drops dosage is to place 3-4 drops in the outer ear duct 2-4 times a day. Duration of treatment is usually 5-10 days.
Ingredients
The antimicrobial ciprofloxacin is the active ingredient in Ciloxan. Benzalkonium chloride, disodium edetate, mannitol, acetic acid, sodium acetate trihydrate, hydrochloric acid and / or sodium hydroxide for pH balance, and purified water are the excipients contained.
Contraindications
Patients who are allergic to Ciloxan or any of its excipients or to other quinolones should not use the medication.
Cautions
- Before you start using Ciloxan, tell your doctor about:
- All the medications you use, including other ear drops
- Your allergies
- Your current health conditions and past medical history
- Your pregnancy or breastfeeding status
- Serious allergic reactions can occur. Seek emergency care right away if you have trouble breathing, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, a rapid heart rate, a rash, or any other sign or symptom of an allergic reaction.
- Using Ciloxan for long periods of time can lead to bacterial overgrowth.
- Tendon inflammation and rupture can occur with systemic ciprofloxacin use. Elderly patients and those who also receive corticosteroids may be at increased risk.
- Benzalkonium chloride is present in Ciloxan, which can cause irritation and skin reactions in some people.
Side Effects
Ringing in the ears is a possible Ciloxan side effect; however, other side effects can also occur. Call your doctor right away if you have side effects that bother you or won't go away.
