About This Medicine

Product description & overview

Oflo Eye Ointment contains Ofloxacin 0.3% w/w, a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic indicated for the treatment of bacterial infections of the eye. Ofloxacin exerts its antibacterial effect by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination, thereby leading to bacterial cell death. This ointment is primarily used in the management of conjunctivitis, keratitis, and other superficial ocular infections caused by susceptible strains of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Oflo Eye Ointment is applied topically to the affected eye(s), typically administered 2 to 3 times daily as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important to complete the full course of therapy to prevent the development of resistance and ensure eradication of the infection. Patients should avoid contamination of the ointment tip by contact with the eye or surrounding surfaces. Common adverse effects may include transient ocular discomfort, burning, or irritation upon application. Oflo Eye Ointment is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to ofloxacin or other quinolones. Caution is advised in pregnant or breastfeeding women, and use in pediatric patients should be under medical supervision. This formulation provides sustained contact time with ocular tissues, enhancing therapeutic efficacy in bacterial eye infections.
