Uses of Oflocin D Eye Drops

Oflocin D Eye Drops are used to treat bacterial infections of the eye where there is also significant inflammation, such as some cases of conjunctivitis and inflammation of the eyelids. They are also used after eye surgery to prevent infection and reduce swelling. They should only be used when prescribed, as steroid eye drops are not suitable for all red eyes.

How Oflocin D Eye Drops works

Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that stops bacteria from copying their DNA, so they cannot multiply and the infection clears. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that calms the immune response in the eye, reducing redness, swelling, pain and discomfort while the antibiotic works.

Possible side effects

Side effects of Oflocin D Eye Drops are usually limited to the eye. They include:

• Stinging or burning on application
• Temporary blurred vision
• Eye irritation or itching
• Watery eyes
• Bitter taste

See a doctor urgently if you have increasing eye pain, worsening redness, reduced or changed vision, or swelling of the eyelids or face.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not use it for viral or fungal eye infections, such as herpes of the eye, as the steroid can make them worse.
• Using steroid drops for long periods can raise eye pressure and cause cataracts, so use them only for as long as prescribed; tell your doctor if you have glaucoma.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to the eye.
• Remove contact lenses before use unless advised otherwise, and leave a few minutes between different eye drops.
• Do not drive until your vision is clear, and speak to your doctor before use in pregnancy or breastfeeding.
