Such compositions possess a therapeutically effective amount of a non-betaine form ciprofloxacin (e.g., ciprofloxacin hydrochloride monohydrate); one of a pH adjusting agent and a preservative; water; and a pH from about 5.5 to about 10. In some embodiments, such compositions may be free or free of added skin permeation enhancer and/or contain a betaine form ciprofloxacin.
