Loflox Eye Drop

Loflox Eye Drop belongs to a group of antibiotic medicines called fluoroquinolones for treating bacterial eye infections such as bacterial conjunctivitis, blepharoconjunctivitis, and blepharitis. Additionally, it is also used to treat corneal ulcers and keratitis.

Loflox Eye Drop contains Lomefloxacin, that works by interfering with the bacterial DNA processes which are necessary for their survival. Thereby, Loflox Eye Drop kills the bacteria and helps treat bacterial infection.

In some cases, Loflox Eye Drop may cause side effects like local irritation or a slight and transient burning sensation immediately after using eye drops. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to the doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Do not use Loflox Eye Drop if you are allergic to any of its components. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid touching the tip of the dropper as it may contaminate the contents. Keep your doctor informed regarding your health condition and the medicines you are taking to prevent any side effects/interactions.

Loflox Eye Drop contains Lomefloxacin, a difluorinated quinolone derivative, is a bacterial gyrase inhibitor used to treat bacterial eye infections such as bacterial conjunctivitis, blepharoconjunctivitis, and blepharitis occurring due to lomefloxacin susceptible organisms. Additionally, it is also used to treat staphylococcus aureus-induced corneal ulcers. Loflox Eye Drop works by interfering with the bacterial DNA processes like initiation, elongation, and termination phases of replication, transcription, and repair. Thereby, Loflox Eye Drop kills the bacteria and helps treat bacterial infection. It is effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
