Zenflox 10 mL Eye Drop

Zenflox 10 mL Eye Drop is a prescription eye medicine that contains ofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, in a 10 mL ophthalmic solution bottle. Each drop delivers ofloxacin directly to the eye to help treat certain bacterial eye infections. It is used when bacteria are causing redness, discharge, irritation, or other signs of infection in the eye. Zenflox 10 mL Eye Drop does not treat viral or allergic eye problems.

How it works: Ofloxacin works by stopping bacteria from copying their DNA, which prevents them from growing and spreading. When used as Zenflox 10 mL Eye Drop, the antibiotic acts right on the surface of the eye where the infection is present.

Zenflox 10 mL Eye Drop is the standard bottle size for this ophthalmic solution, so it is suited for a full treatment course or for use when both eyes need treatment. Compared with smaller or larger pack sizes, the 10 mL bottle gives enough medicine for repeated dosing while still being easy to carry and use. A doctor may choose Zenflox 10 mL Eye Drop based on the type of infection, how long treatment is needed, and whether the patient can use eye drops correctly.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Bacterial eye infections
• Corneal infection as prescribed
• Red, irritated eyes caused by bacteria
• Treatment of susceptible eye bacteria

• Wash your hands before using Zenflox 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, fingers, or any surface.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after putting in the drops; 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 says otherwise.
• Remove contact lenses before use and do not put them back in until your doctor says it is safe.

Zenflox 10 mL Eye Drop provides a 10 mL bottle of ofloxacin ophthalmic solution; the exact number of drops per dose depends on the prescription and not on the bottle size alone. It may be used several times a day at intervals set by the doctor, and the total daily amount should follow the prescribed schedule rather than a self-chosen maximum. Your doctor decides the dose, frequency, and treatment length based on the infection and how you respond.

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 after instillation
• Eye discomfort or irritation
• Blurred vision for a short time after use
• Watery eyes
• Dry eye feeling
• Mild redness or itching around the eye

• Use only for bacterial eye infections; it will not help viral or allergic conjunctivitis.
• Do not use Zenflox 10 mL Eye Drop if you have a known allergy to ofloxacin or other fluoroquinolone antibiotics.
• Remove contact lenses before use and ask your doctor when you can wear them again.
• Avoid touching the dropper tip to prevent contamination of the bottle.
• Vision may be blurred briefly after the drop; do not drive until your vision is clear.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of tendon problems or severe antibiotic reactions.
• Use the drops for the full prescribed course even if the eye looks better early.

• Other eye drops or eye ointments may need to be spaced apart to avoid washing out the medicine.
• Antacids, iron, zinc, and sucralfate can reduce absorption with oral ofloxacin, though they are less relevant to the eye drop form.
• Other fluoroquinolone antibiotics may increase the chance of class-related side effects if used together.
• Tell your doctor about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, and eye treatments you use.
