For Otitis Externa "Without my insurance covering Ciprodex, I just paid $230 for 1/3 an ounce at pharmacy. I have never had an ear infection but recently got a super nasty one from the ocean water in Puerto Rico. Been on Ciprodex for two days and it has helped OR was it the cephlaxin and amoxicillin?"

For Otitis Externa "The cost was expensive at $38.90 in Australia! No rebate. 2 drops x 5 days into my left ear. It made my hearing worse. After 5 days I have constant ringing in my left ear. I wouldn't recommend CIPROXIN HC ear drops for any one! I went to the doctor after 2 days and told her it was worse and she claims the inflammation was gone, keep using it!"

For Otitis Externa "Thanks to the helpful reviews and some extra googling, I can say I’m feeling optimistic. 38 weeks pregnant and I woke up with the most intense ear infection ever a few days ago - literally couldn’t even bite down. My jaw and lymph nodes were swollen and in so much pain, and the doctor couldn’t even see my eardrum. Just wrapped up my third day of drops, and I can feel a significant improvement. Still some muffled hearing, popping, and slight pain, but the swelling went down a TON, and it doesn’t hurt to chew. And I can hear a little better. The trick is to warm the bottle in your hands, then shake well, lay on your side, and pour drops in. Let it sit for a couple of mins, then turn over and drain the rest on a tissue or whatever. I did not have any intense itching, burning, etc. I also paired this treatment with Tylenol and cold compresses (for swelling) as needed. Also, drinking hot water or beverages was great too (helped with draining the infection through sinuses)."

For Otitis Externa "I’ve never had an ear infection in my life, but after 22 years somehow both of my ears became infected with otitis externa. The first doctor that I saw prescribed me neomycin/polymyxin b drops. I lost hearing in both ears because the drops could not reach my ear canal with all of the built up wax/infection. It’s like the drops just stacked on top. I went to a different doctor and was prescribed Ciprodex. She flushed my ears and put in wicks before I began the drops. It felt immediately better to get my ears flushed and cleaned before starting medication. I believe my hearing disappeared because the first doc let me start the drops with congested ears. Using Ciprodex with the wicks was a struggle for the first two days, but I started to get better. The medicine could finally reach my ear canal. My hearing came back. It says on the bottle to make sure your ears are “clean and dry” before use. This was an awful experience, but I’m so happy I saw that other doctor."
