About Chlorpheniramine Maleate+ciprofloxacin+zinc Sulphate
Chlorpheniramine Maleate+ciprofloxacin+zinc Sulphate is used to treat bacterial infections and allergies in the eyes and ears. A bacterial eye infection occurs when bacteria enter the eye and multiply, causing inflammation, redness, pain, and vision problems.

Chlorpheniramine Maleate+ciprofloxacin+zinc Sulphate contains three medications: Chlorpheniramine maleate (an antihistamine), Ciprofloxacin (an antibiotic), and Zinc Sulphate (an astringent and antiseptic).
