Ofloren eye drop

Ofloxacin eye drops are primarily used to treat bacterial eye infections, including:

1. -Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye): Bacterial conjunctivitis is an infection of the conjunctiva, the thin membrane covering the eye's surface.

2. -Corneal Ulcers: Ofloxacin eye drops can be used to treat bacterial infections of the cornea, which is the transparent front part of the eye.

Common side effects might include temporary stinging or burning in the eyes after application. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, contact your doctor.

To apply the eye drops, wash your hands first. Tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Hold the dropper above your eye and squeeze the prescribed number of drops into the pocket. Close your eye gently and blink a few times to spread the medication.

Ofloxacin belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics. It works by inhibiting the growth of susceptible bacteria in the eye, helping to clear up the infection.

If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it's close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
