LEVOFLOX 0.5% EYE DROP 5ML

Description

Levoflox 0.5% Eye Drop is a sterile, topical antibiotic solution formulated specifically to treat superficial bacterial infections of the eye. It contains Levofloxacin as its active ingredient, a potent fluoroquinolone antibiotic. When applied directly to the eye, it prevents bacterial cells from replicating and repairing their DNA, rapidly killing the bacteria responsible for inflammation, redness, and irritation.

Uses

• Bacterial Conjunctivitis: Treatment of "pink eye" caused by susceptible bacterial strains.

• Corneal Ulcers: Management of bacterial ulcers on the surface of the eye under close ophthalmologist supervision.

• Pre/Post-Operative Prophylaxis: Used by eye surgeons to prevent bacterial contamination before or after ocular surgeries.

Typical Dose

• For Bacterial Conjunctivitis (Adults & Children 1 year or older):

  • Days 1 and 2: Instill 1 to 2 drops in the affected eye(s) every 2 hours while awake (up to 8 times daily).

  • Days 3 through 7: Instill 1 to 2 drops in the affected eye(s) every 4 hours while awake (up to 4 times daily).

• Duration: The standard course typically lasts 7 days. Do not stop early, even if the eye looks and feels better.

How to Take

• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before opening the bottle.

• Tilt your head back, look upward, and gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.

• Hold the dropper directly over the eye without letting the tip touch your eye, hands, eyelashes, or any other surface. This prevents contaminating the remaining solution.

• Squeeze 1 drop into the pocket. Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes and press your finger lightly against the inner corner of your eye (near the nose) to stop the medicine from draining into your tear duct.

• If you are using other eye drops or ointments, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between applications. Always apply drops before ointments.

• Remove contact lenses before instilling the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.

Common Side Effects

• Transient burning, stinging, or mild discomfort immediately after application.

• Decreased or temporarily blurred vision.

• Mild eye redness or a feeling like something is in the eye (foreign body sensation).

• Headache or a bitter taste in the mouth (as the medicine drains into the throat).

Important Warnings

• Strictly for Ocular Use: This medicine is exclusively for topical application into the eyes. Never inject it or swallow it.

• Avoid Contact Lenses: Do not wear contact lenses if you have active signs or symptoms of a bacterial eye infection.

• Do Not Prolong Use: Prolonged use of antibiotics can result in the overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms, including fungi.

• Driving Safety: This medication may cause temporary blurred vision immediately after instillation. Avoid driving or operating machinery until your vision completely clears.

• Pregnancy and Lactation: Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding only if clearly prescribed by your eye doctor.

• Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C and discard any remaining solution 4 weeks after first opening the bottle.
