Treatment Summary

Dexamethasone, also known as MK-125, is a type of corticosteroid used to treat a variety of conditions including endocrine, rheumatic, and allergic disorders. It was developed in 1957 and is similar to other corticosteroid medications like hydrocortisone and prednisolone. The FDA approved dexamethasone in 1958 and it is now recommended for use in COVID-19 patients with severe respiratory symptoms, as it has been found to reduce deaths by one third in those requiring ventilation and one fifth in those requiring oxygen.

Effectiveness

How Ciprodex Affects Patients

Corticosteroids are a type of drug used to reduce inflammation. Dexamethasone is one example, and its effects can last for different lengths of time depending on how it is taken. Corticosteroids can be taken in much higher doses than the body would naturally produce, but patients should be aware that using them can decrease the body's ability to fight infections and suppress the hormones in the hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal glands.

How Ciprodex works in the body

Corticosteroids work to reduce inflammation in the body. They do this by blocking certain protein and gene pathways that cause swelling. Corticosteroids also reduce the number of white blood cells that travel to the site of inflammation, which helps to stop the spread of swelling. Lower doses of corticosteroids can reduce inflammation, while higher doses can suppress your immune system. Over time, high doses of corticosteroids can cause an increase in sodium levels and a decrease in potassium levels.

When to interrupt dosage

The prescribed dosage of Ciprodex is contingent upon the established condition, such as Pink Eye, Brain and Keloids Scars. The measure of dosage is also reliant upon the method of delivery referenced in the table underneath.

Ciprodex for Middle Ear Infection Needing Tube Placed in Ear

These ear drops helped with the inflammation in my ear but unfortunately also came with some very painful side effects. The pain was so bad that it made me want to go insane. However, it did eventually subside and the inflammation went away. I would say that this treatment worked overall, but be aware of the potential for intense pain while using it.

Ciprodex for Middle Ear Infection Needing Tube Placed in Ear

This medication is terrible. The medicine actually caused more pain than I was in to begin with. I'm writing this having been unable to sleep all night due to the incredible pain. It's like a hacksaw to the side of my head. Just take the oral antibiotics, they're cheaper and won't require serious accompanying pain meds.

Patient Q&A Section about ciprodex

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

How long does it take Ciprodex to work?

"It takes Ciprodex 15 minutes to 2 hours to reach high levels in your body, but you might not feel better until a few days after starting treatment."

Answered by AI

What is Ciprodex used to treat?

"This medication is used to treat bacterial ear infections in children with ear tubes, as well as outer ear infections (also known as swimmer's ear) in children and adults."

Answered by AI

How long do I leave Ciprodex in my ear?

"The patient should lie down with the affected ear pointing up, and then the ear drops should be put in. The tragus should then be pushed in 5 times to help the ear drops get into the middle ear. This position should be maintained for 60 seconds."

Answered by AI

Is Ciprodex ear drops an antibiotic?

"Ciprodex ear drops contain both ciprofloxacin, a quinolone antibiotic that treats infections caused by bacteria, and dexamethasone, a corticosteroid which reduces the actions of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation."

All Sexes
Cleveland, OH

Undergoing cancer treatment comes with various risks and side effects. This clinical trial aims to reduce those risks and side effects through continuous monitoring of vital signs and blood levels. The goal is to see if potential side effects can be identified and treated sooner. During this study, participants will wear an Alio Smartpatch™. The Alio Smartpatch™ is a wireless remote monitoring system. This device will measure participants' vital signs and blood levels. Participants will also be asked to use continuous glucose monitors to measure their glucose levels. The data collected on each participant from these devices will be remotely monitored at all times by clinical staff at a company known as Quantify Remote Care. If a participant's results look like they are experiencing a side effect, the participant will be contacted immediately by Quantify Remote Care team. The Quantify Remote Care team will function as an extension of the participant's cancer clinical team and will relay any significant issues back to them. Quantify Health also provides dietary and mental health support as needed for all participants.

Next Day Clinic for Patient Care

Los Angeles, CA

The Next Day Clinic (NDC) is a quality improvement initiative that will be launched and operated by UCLA Health starting July 22, 2024. Its goals are to improve patient care and safety and to maximize cost effectiveness. The way it does this is by identifying patients in the ED who would normally be admitted for low-acuity conditions, and diverting them to a high-acuity clinic the following day called the NDC. This will help decompress the ED and the hospital, and allow for overall higher quality care. The Health System has partnered with UCLA's Healthcare Value Analytics and Solutions \[UVAS\] group which specializes in these types of program evaluations. The analysis conducted by the study team will be used to directly inform NDC operations, scaling, and future plans.

Interventions for Ear Infections

6 - 17
All Sexes
Denver, CO

This study aims to improve care and reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescribing for children with ear infections. The study will compare the effectiveness of a "gold standard" to a hybrid intervention combined with this gold standard, in order to identify steps to increase parent satisfaction for child ear infection care. The "gold standard" approach is a Health System Level Intervention. On its own, it involves clinician education, tools in electronic medical records, and audit and feedback reports for clinician prescribing habits. The hybrid intervention includes the elements of the health systems level intervention in addition to a Shared Decision-Making component, which allows for both an increase in the role parents play in their child's care, as well as clinician education for how to use this method. The goals of this work are to increase parent satisfaction, reduce antibiotics taken for childhood ear infections, align medical care with the current national guidelines, and evaluate differences in the two intervention groups. Both groups will be evaluated for implementation outcomes to improve dissemination and scalability for future use of these models in antibiotic prescribing for children with ear infections. This study will recruit a diverse group of patients and clinicians to complete surveys, parents to participate in focus groups, and clinicians and administrators to be interviewed in order to meet study aims and receive sufficient feedback on the interventions performed. There are two hypotheses for this research: 1. The Hybrid Intervention will have higher parent satisfaction and reduced antibiotic use compared to the Health-System Level Intervention and 2. The Hybrid Intervention will be more challenging to implement than the Health-System Level Intervention, but will be preferred by parents, clinicians, and administrators.

Shorter Antibiotic Courses for Ear Infections

2 - 17
All Sexes
Denver, CO

The overarching goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation outcomes of two low-cost interventions of different intensities to increase prescribing of recommended short antibiotic durations for acute otitis media (AOM) for children 2 years of age and older. A multi-center cluster randomized controlled trial using a hybrid type 2 implementation effectiveness design will be used to evaluate interventions. The High-Intensity intervention will include clinician education, individualized clinician audit and feedback with peer comparison, and electronic health record (EHR) changes of prescription fields, whereas the Low-Intensity intervention will include clinician education and EHR changes. In total, 46 community-based clinics and/or urgent care centers across two distinct geographic regions in the United States will be randomized to one of the two interventions. The Practical Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM) will be used to guide implementation and the Reach Effectiveness Adoption Implementation Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework will be used to evaluate outcomes. A mixed-methods approach will be used in the pre-implementation and evaluation phases and will utilize quantitative analyses, semi-structured interviews, focus groups, surveys, and cost analyses. National stakeholders at the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will assist with dissemination of findings and scaling of interventions.
