Safety Precautions for Ciloxan Eye Ointment

Before you use Ciloxan, tell your healthcare provider if you:

• Have a history of allergic reactions to antibiotics
• Have tendon problems or use corticosteroids
• Are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant
• Wear contact lenses

Allergic Reactions Severe allergic reactions may occur, even after one dose. Symptoms include rash, swelling, breathing problems, and loss of consciousness. Stop using Ciloxan at the first sign of an allergic reaction. Seek emergency care if needed.

Infections and Overgrowth of Bacteria Long-term use may lead to resistant infections, including fungal infections. If new symptoms develop, your doctor may change your treatment.

Eye and Vision Concerns Ciloxan may cause temporary blurred vision. Do not drive or use machines until your vision clears. White eye deposits may form but usually resolve on their own.

Tendon Injury Risk Fluoroquinolones may cause tendon inflammation or rupture, especially in older adults or those on steroids. Stop using Ciloxan at the first sign of tendon pain.

Contact Lenses Do not wear contact lenses during treatment. Ciloxan solution contains benzalkonium chloride, which may irritate eyes and discolor soft lenses. If advised to wear lenses, remove them before applying the solution and wait 15 minutes before reinserting.

Use in Special Populations

• Pregnancy: Use only if the benefits outweigh potential risks.
• Breastfeeding: It is unknown if Ciloxan passes into breast milk. Discuss risks with your doctor.
