OFLOX-D EYE DROPS – 1 BOTTLE OF 10ML

Description

OFLOX-D EYE DROPS are specially formulated to address bacterial eye infections, combining the antibacterial properties of Ofloxacin with the anti-inflammatory benefits of Dexamethasone. Ofloxacin targets and kills the bacteria causing the infection, while Dexamethasone alleviates swelling, redness, and irritation. This powerful combination ensures comprehensive care, making it an ideal choice for treating conjunctivitis, keratitis, and other bacterial eye infections.

Usage Instructions:
Wash Hands: Ensure your hands are clean before application.
Tilt Head Back: Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it.
Instill Drops: Apply 1-2 drops into the affected eye(s), typically 2-4 times a day or as prescribed by your doctor.
Close Eyes: Gently close your eyes for a few minutes to allow the drops to spread evenly.
Avoid Contamination: Do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface, including your eye, to prevent contamination.

Medicinal Advantages:
Combats Bacterial Infections: Effectively treats bacterial conjunctivitis, keratitis, and other eye infections.
Reduces Inflammation: Dexamethasone helps reduce swelling, redness, and irritation, providing comfort.
Promotes Healing: The combination of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory action speeds up the recovery process.

Mechanism of Action:
OFLOX-D EYE DROPS work by utilizing Ofloxacin to inhibit bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme essential for bacterial replication, effectively stopping the growth and spread of infection. Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, acts by suppressing the inflammatory response, reducing swelling and irritation, and promoting faster healing.

Off-Label Uses:
Post-Surgical Care: OFLOX-D EYE DROPS may be used off-label to prevent infection and reduce inflammation following eye surgery, such as cataract surgery or LASIK, under a doctor’s guidance.

Precautions:
Do Not Overuse: Prolonged use of corticosteroids like Dexamethasone can increase the risk of side effects, including increased eye pressure and cataracts.
