Aflox Eye Drop

Aflox Eye Drop is a prescription ofloxacin eye drop made by Appasamy Ocular Device Pvt. Ltd. Each eye drop contains ofloxacin as the active ingredient, an antibiotic in the fluoroquinolone class. It is used to treat bacterial infections of the eye and surrounding tissues, such as bacterial conjunctivitis, when caused by susceptible bacteria.

How it works: Ofloxacin stops bacteria from multiplying by blocking enzymes they need to copy and repair their DNA. In eye-drop form, this helps reduce the bacterial infection directly at the surface of the eye.

Aflox Eye Drop is an eye-drop formulation, so it works locally on the eye rather than throughout the whole body. Because there are no other strengths or forms of Aflox listed here, this product should be used exactly as prescribed for the infection and the eye it is meant to treat.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Bacterial eye infection
• Infection-related eye discharge
• Redness and irritation from susceptible bacteria
• Doctor-directed treatment of external eye bacterial infection

• Wash your hands before using Aflox Eye Drop.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the affected eye.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye, eyelid, fingers, or any surface.
• After instilling the drop, close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes; press lightly on the inner corner of the eye if your doctor advised it.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Remove soft contact lenses before use and do not wear them while the eye infection is active unless your eye doctor says it is okay.

The dose in Aflox Eye Drop is ofloxacin eye drop as labeled by the manufacturer, and the exact number of drops per dose depends on your prescription and the severity of the infection. It may be used several times a day for a limited course, but your doctor decides the schedule and duration; do not use more often or for longer than prescribed.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Ofloxacin may include:

• Temporary burning or stinging in the eye
• Mild eye irritation or discomfort
• Blurred vision right after applying the drop
• Watery eyes
• Bitter taste in the mouth after use
• Redness or dryness of the eye

• Use Aflox Eye Drop only for bacterial infections; it will not treat viral or fungal eye infections.
• Tell your doctor if you have had allergy or severe reaction to ofloxacin or other fluoroquinolone antibiotics.
• Contact lens wearers should be especially careful, because lenses can worsen irritation and may trap infection.
• Your vision may be blurry briefly after each dose, so wait until vision clears before driving or operating machinery.
• Use the full prescribed course even if the eye feels better sooner, unless your doctor tells you to stop.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or treating a child, because the prescriber should decide whether this eye-drop strength is appropriate.
• If eye symptoms get worse or do not improve after a few days, get medical advice promptly.

• Other eye drops or eye ointments, which may need spacing by several minutes
• Other fluoroquinolone antibiotics, if you are also taking one by mouth or injection
• Products that irritate the eyes, such as certain medicated or preservative-heavy eye products
• Contact lenses and lens-cleaning products if used too soon after dosing

Store Aflox Eye Drop at room temperature in the original carton, keep the bottle tightly closed, and do not use it after the expiry date or if the solution changes color or becomes cloudy.
