About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Zoxan Eye Ointment contains Ciprofloxacin 0.3% w/w, a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic effective against a variety of bacterial pathogens. It is indicated for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis, keratitis, and other superficial ocular infections caused by susceptible strains of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Ciprofloxacin acts by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination, thereby exerting bactericidal activity. Zoxan Eye Ointment is intended for topical ophthalmic use and should be applied as directed by a healthcare professional, typically instilled into the conjunctival sac two to four times daily depending on the severity of the infection. Patients should avoid contamination of the ointment tip to prevent secondary infections. Common adverse effects may include transient ocular irritation, burning, or discomfort upon application. Use with caution in patients with hypersensitivity to fluoroquinolones or any component of the formulation. It is contraindicated in viral or fungal eye infections. Proper diagnosis and susceptibility testing are recommended before initiating therapy. Zoxan Eye Ointment provides effective local treatment, minimizing systemic exposure and reducing the risk of systemic side effects commonly associated with oral antibiotics.
