Norflox Eye Drop 0.3% (5 mL) Eye Drop

Norflox Eye Drop 0.3% (5 mL) Eye Drop is a prescription antibiotic eye medicine that contains norfloxacin 0.3% in each 5 mL bottle. It belongs to the fluoroquinolone class and is used to treat certain bacterial eye infections. This form is applied directly into the eye to help clear infection at the site where it is needed. It is made by Cipla, India and is supplied in a pack of 10 bottles.

How it works: Norfloxacin works by stopping bacteria from making the DNA they need to grow and multiply. When used as Norflox Eye Drop 0.3% (5 mL) Eye Drop, it acts locally in the eye to help kill the bacteria causing the infection.

The 0.3% strength in Norflox Eye Drop 0.3% (5 mL) Eye Drop is a standard ophthalmic concentration designed for direct use in the eye, not for general body use. Because it is an eye drop, it may be chosen when a doctor wants antibiotic action right on the eye surface with limited whole-body exposure. If you have used other fluoroquinolone eye products before, this specific 0.3% strength should still be used only as prescribed for the infection being treated.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Bacterial eye infections
• Redness and discharge caused by susceptible bacteria
• Doctor-directed treatment of surface eye infection

• Wash your hands before using Norflox Eye Drop 0.3% (5 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, fingers, or any surface.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after the drop; do not rub the eye.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Remove soft contact lenses before using the drops and do not put them back in until your doctor says it is safe.

Each bottle of Norflox Eye Drop 0.3% (5 mL) Eye Drop contains norfloxacin 0.3% ophthalmic solution, and the exact number of drops per dose depends on the infection and your doctor’s instructions. It is usually used several times a day during treatment, but the total daily amount and treatment length should be decided by a clinician. Use only the prescribed dose; more frequent dosing is not automatically better for this eye-strength medicine.

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