I bought Cipro ear drops in CZM in April without a prescription. I'm not sure about the pills. I would be very cautious about taking Cipro pills or any other member of that family of antibiotics like Levequin with or without a prescription. The FDA black labeled all of them a few years ago because they cause tendon damage. People have been blowing out their achiles tentons while on those drugs. I personally had a tendon burst in my left pinky back in 2006 while on Levequin, and it required surgery to re-attach. The only reason I even bought the ear drops is to keep in my save a dive kit because it's only topical, and an ear infection can ruin a very expensive trip.
