Norfloxacin Eye Drops

Product Overview

Norflox Eye Drops is an ophthalmic medication containing the active ingredient Norfloxacin. This sterile topical solution is specifically formulated to treat bacterial eye infections. As a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, Norfloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial growth to eliminate infections. The gentle yet effective formulation makes it suitable for both adults and children, available by prescription for over-the-counter purchase.

Uses

Norflox Eye Drops are indicated for treating bacterial eye infections including conjunctivitis (pink eye) and keratitis. The medication effectively addresses infection-causing bacteria that lead to symptoms such as redness, itching, swelling, discharge, and eye discomfort, providing both symptomatic relief and promoting recovery.

How to Use

For proper administration:
1. Wash hands thoroughly before use
2. Tilt head back and gently pull down lower eyelid to form a pocket
3. Hold dropper directly above eye and instill prescribed number of drops
4. Blink gently to distribute medication evenly
5. Avoid touching dropper tip to prevent contamination
Repeat process for other eye if both eyes require treatment.

How it Works

Norflox Eye Drops contain Norfloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that targets bacterial DNA gyrase – an enzyme essential for bacterial DNA replication and repair. By inhibiting this process, the medication prevents bacterial multiplication, ultimately leading to bacterial death and infection clearance.

Dosage and Administration

Dosage varies based on infection severity and individual condition. Typical regimen includes:
– Initial phase: 1-2 drops every 2-4 hours for first 2 days
– Maintenance phase: Reduce to every 4-6 hours for next 5 days
Complete full prescribed course even if symptoms improve earlier. Always follow healthcare provider’s instructions.
