Oflo 5 mL Eye Drop

Oflo 5 mL Eye Drop is a prescription ophthalmic antibiotic that contains ofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone medicine used to treat certain bacterial eye infections. Each 5 mL bottle of Oflo 5 mL Eye Drop delivers ofloxacin eye drop solution for direct use in the eye, helping fight bacteria at the site of infection. It is commonly used for bacterial conjunctivitis and other doctor-diagnosed bacterial eye conditions, not viral or allergy-related eye irritation.

How it works: Ofloxacin works by blocking bacterial enzymes that the germs need to make and repair their DNA, which stops the bacteria from multiplying. Used as Oflo 5 mL Eye Drop, it delivers the medicine directly to the infected eye surface for local treatment.

Oflo 5 mL Eye Drop is a standard ophthalmic bottle size, not a higher-dose strength. Since there are no other listed strengths or forms of this brand, your doctor may choose Oflo 5 mL Eye Drop when a small, easy-to-use eye drop bottle is appropriate for a short course of treatment. It is designed for local eye treatment, so the effect is concentrated in the eye rather than throughout the body.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Bacterial eye infection treatment
• Eye infection caused by susceptible bacteria
• Doctor-directed treatment after eye exam

• Wash your hands before using Oflo 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 touch the dropper tip to your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after each drop and avoid blinking hard.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and ask your doctor when you can put them back in.
• Use exactly as prescribed and finish the full course even if the eye starts feeling better.

Oflo 5 mL Eye Drop provides 5 mL of ofloxacin ophthalmic solution in each bottle, and the exact number of drops per dose depends on your prescription. Depending on the infection, it may be used several times a day at first and then less often, but your doctor decides the schedule and duration for this specific strength and form. Do not exceed the amount your clinician prescribes.

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

Common side effects of Ofloxacin may include:

• Temporary eye burning or stinging

• Use only for bacterial eye infections diagnosed by a clinician; it will not treat viral or allergic eye problems.

• Tell your doctor if you have had allergy or sensitivity to ofloxacin or other quinolone antibiotics.
• Use extra caution if you have a history of tendon problems, severe nerve problems, or unusual reactions to fluoroquinolone medicines.
• Do not use the bottle longer than prescribed, even if symptoms improve.
• If eye pain, swelling, or vision changes get worse, seek medical advice promptly.
