Treatment of Bacterial eye infections

This medicine is for external use only. Take it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off extra liquid.

Oflozee-P Eye Drop is a combination of three medicines: Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, Ofloxacin and Prednisolone. Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose is a lubricant. It works similar to natural tears and provides temporary relief from burning and discomfort in the eye. Ofloxacin is an antibiotic which prevents bacterial cells from dividing and repairing. This kills the bacteria that cause eye infection. Ofloxacin is a steroid. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the eye red, swollen and itchy.

Q: What if you forget to take Oflozee-P Ophthalmic Solution?
A: If you miss a dose of Oflozee-P Eye Drop, skip it and continue with your normal schedule. Do not double the dose.

You have been prescribed Oflozee-P Eye Drop for the treatment of bacterial infections of the eye.

Use it twice a day (in the morning and the evening). If your symptoms are particularly severe, your doctor may suggest you use them up to four times a day.

To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface.

Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute, immediately after putting the medication. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink or rub your eye.

Do not wear contact lenses until your infection clears up.

Eye infections can cause your eyes to become more sensitive to sunlight than usual. Wearing sunglasses may help to prevent this.

Along with using Oflozee-P Eye Drop, give a warm compress to your eyes to get relief from itching and burning sensation.

Take care to avoid spreading the infection from one eye to the other, and to other members of your family. Washing your hands regularly (particularly after touching your eyes) and not sharing towels or pillows will help to prevent the infection from spreading.

Make sure to use it within 4 weeks of opening the medication.
