Pharmacology

Ciprofloxacin combined with hydrocortisone is a preparation that pairs a quinolone antibiotic with a corticosteroid. It works by killing bacteria, stopping them from producing the essential proteins they need to survive. It also helps calm inflammation, easing redness, swelling, and itching.
