Norflox 10 mL Eye Drop

Norflox 10 mL Eye Drop is a prescription eye medicine containing norfloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, in a 10 mL bottle. It is used to treat certain bacterial eye infections and help relieve symptoms caused by susceptible germs, such as redness, irritation, discharge, and eye discomfort. Norflox 10 mL Eye Drop works only for bacterial infections, not for viral or allergic eye problems. Use it exactly as directed by a doctor, since the right schedule depends on the type and severity of the infection.

How it works: Norfloxacin stops bacteria from multiplying by blocking enzymes they need to copy their DNA. When used as Norflox 10 mL Eye Drop, it delivers the antibiotic directly to the surface of the eye where the infection is present.

This Norflox 10 mL Eye Drop strength is a standard multidose bottle size, so it is suited for a full treatment course rather than a single-use dose. A doctor may choose Norflox 10 mL Eye Drop when repeated dosing is needed over several days and when a convenient eye-drop bottle is preferred for ongoing treatment. It is the same active medicine as other norfloxacin eye preparations, but the 10 mL bottle provides more doses per container.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Bacterial eye infection
• Eye infection with discharge
• Red, irritated eyes caused by susceptible bacteria
• Doctor-directed treatment of localized eye bacterial infection

• Wash your hands before using Norflox 10 mL Eye Drop.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, eyelid, fingers, or any surface.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after instilling the drop; do not blink hard or rub the eye.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Use the full course even if symptoms improve, unless your doctor tells you to stop.

Each Norflox 10 mL Eye Drop bottle contains 10 mL of norfloxacin eye solution. The exact number of drops per dose and how many times per day it is used depend on the infection and your doctor’s instructions; there is no universal maximum daily amount because the prescribed schedule is individualized for this strength. Your doctor decides the dose, frequency, and length of treatment for Norflox 10 mL Eye Drop based on your condition.

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