Ciprodex (ciprofloxacin / dexamethasone) "My two year old had severe ear infection and did not respond to this antibiotic at all so after five straight days of 104 temperature and vomiting the doctor gave a shot of Rocephin which broke the fever immediately and started the healing of the ears and then finished with a round of Augmentin. We did however get the severe diaper rash that the letter said could accompany this medication. "

"AVOID THIS DRUG! I walk in clinic prescribed it to me, here I am at 2 am in massive pain. I can't get a second of relief to fall asleep. Now I'm reading that the pain will continue for 4 to 5 days. Well isn't that just a miracle. At least before the drops I could sleep, now I'm literally sleep deprived and in enormous pain. I'm going to continue with the drops but oh help me lord if I die because of being sleep deprived and getting in an accident I just want it on record that its this stupid drugs fault. Don't be a fool, if your doctor recommends this garbage implore them to try it first. They must be getting a great kick back from this company to prescribe this garbage. So, ya I am not pleased at all, not even slightly."

Ciprodex (ciprofloxacin / dexamethasone) "I was on Ciprodex for my ear infection and this pill never worked and I could not sleep either, I would just toss and turn. These ear drops works very slow and are too expensive $400.00 co pay $50. I had to stop taking it so I could sleep. "

Ciprodex (ciprofloxacin / dexamethasone) "I don't know why people have such bad experience with this but as a student I will say its so so good. I was so scared with my terrible ear infection and now it is so much better just in 4 days. I would recommended those who have bad ear infection but must prescribed by your doctor."

"So sorry for those having such pain with these meds. I have severe sinusitis and my inner ear is completely plugged, hearing is almost negative. Started the drops June 30th still on them, have had no ear pain with drops, however, the ear is still not open, better tho. Also been using nose spray, and Tylenol. About ready to find an ENT! Again, I have had no side affects from the drops."

"Omg! This stuff is miraculous. The first few drops stung a little but, was bearable. The ER Dr prescribed this 4 drops 2x a day for 7 days. As soon as I put the first 4 drops in, I felt instant relief. I see that I must have gotten a bargain as far as the price. I don't have insurance and paid $86.00. Just make sure to finish it all. I will very enthusiastically give this miracle drug a 10 out of 10. I loved this stuff."

"My infection was so bad my ear got engorged. The pain was excruciating. I'm on my second day on the drops and the pain is a lot less. I still can't hear well from the infected ear and I still have pain, but it's bearable. After reading the reviews here, I'm hoping to hear in a couple of days. I hope this helps someone. Pain doesn't immediately go away, but it will go away; just give it a chance to work."
