About ZO D Eye Drop

ZO D Eye Drop is used to treat bacterial eye infections. Bacterial eye infection occurs when bacteria invade any part of the eyeball or its surrounding tissues, including the cornea (clear front surface of the eye) and the conjunctiva (thin membrane lining the outer eye and inner eyelids).

ZO D Eye Drop contains Dexamethasone and Ofloxacin. Dexamethasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy. Ofloxacin belongs to a class of drugs called quinolone antibiotics. It is bactericidal (kills bacteria) and works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme required for the replication, transcription, and repair of the DNA. 

Use ZO D Eye Drop in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor based on your medical condition. ZO D Eye Drop is generally safe to use. However, some may experience side effects like eye discomfort, eye irritation, burning/stinging sensation, dryness, redness, and itching. Most of these side effects of ZO D Eye Drop do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to ZO D Eye Drop or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney diseases, fungal infections, or heart problems before using ZO D Eye Drop. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use ZO D Eye Drop with proper consultation and caution. Drive or operate machinery only when you do not experience any discomfort in the eyes after the usage of eye drops.

Directions for Use

Tilt your head back and pull your lower eyelid downwards and outwards. Gently squeeze the dropper and put the eye drops inside the eye/eyes. Blink a few times to spread the medication inside your eye.

Medicinal Benefits
