Ocuflox eye drops contain ofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, used to treat bacterial infections of the eye such as conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers. By inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase, Ocuflox effectively halts bacterial growth, providing relief from infection-related symptoms like redness, swelling, and discomfort. Typically, patients administer one to two drops in the affected eye(s) every two to four hours initially, then less frequently as prescribed. Common side effects include burning, stinging, and temporary blurred vision. Patients should avoid wearing contact lenses during treatment and inform their doctor of any allergies to fluoroquinolones. Proper storage at room temperature and adherence to usage instructions are crucial for optimal results and safety.
