Zenflox Eye Drops

Product Overview

Zenflox Eye Drops is an ophthalmic medication containing Ofloxacin as its active ingredient. This sterile formulation is specifically developed to combat bacterial eye infections by targeting and eliminating the causative bacteria. It provides effective treatment for conditions like bacterial conjunctivitis and other ocular infections.

Uses

This medication is prescribed for treating bacterial eye infections including conjunctivitis (pink eye) and keratitis (corneal inflammation). As an antibiotic, it works by stopping bacterial growth, thereby resolving infection and alleviating symptoms like redness, itching, and discharge. Note that it’s ineffective against viral or fungal eye infections.

3. Hold dropper above eye and instill prescribed drops
4. Close eyes gently for a few seconds
Avoid contaminating the dropper tip by not touching any surfaces.
