Castor D Eye/ear Drops 10ml contains three active components:

• Ciprofloxacin (0.3%): This is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that works by inhibiting two critical enzymes in bacteria: DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. By disrupting these enzymes, ciprofloxacin interrupts DNA replication in the bacteria, leading to their death.
• Dexamethasone (0.1%): As a corticosteroid, dexamethasone acts by binding to intracellular glucocorticoid receptors in your body's cells. This action modulates gene expression and suppresses inflammatory mediators, reducing inflammation in the affected areas.
• Benzalkonium Chloride (0.02%): Serving as a preservative in this medicine, benzalkonium chloride disrupts bacterial cell membranes. This action provides additional antimicrobial activity against infection-causing bacteria.
