Are Ciprodex drops still good if opened less than a month ago and stored at room temperature?

Question

Hello, My boy got water sprayed in his ear from a bath toy. He has tubes. I was thinking of putting Ciprodex drops in his ear to prevent infection. My bottle was kept at room temperature and has been opened since October 24. Thank you for your help! I had unfortunately stored the bottle in the kitchen near the oven. Besides a possible decrease in effectiveness, is there any danger in using it as a preventive measure before picking up a new bottle tonight?

Hello Madam, The expiration date is 1 month after opening when the bottle is kept in a cool and dry place (for example, not in the bathroom or kitchen) Kind regards, Tom Samaha, pharmacist There is a possible effect on the stability of the product, but as a precautionary measure and if it is possible for you, indeed I recommend to get a new bottle.
