Microflox Drops 0.3 % Drops 5 ML

Microflox Drops 0.3 % Drops 5 ML are used for managing the following conditions:

• Controlling bacterial conjunctivitis, often referred to as pink eye

• Managing corneal ulcers, which are open sores or infections on the clear front part of the eye

To use Microflox Drops 0.3 % Drops 5 ML properly, follow these steps:

• Wash your hands thoroughly before touching the dropper.

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

• Hold the dropper above the eye and squeeze out the prescribed amount of medicine without touching your eye or eyelid.

• Close your eyes and press gently on the inner corner of the eye for a minute or two. This helps prevent the drops from draining out.

• If you use other eye medications, wait at least five minutes before instilling them.

• Consult your doctor for any specific instructions.

Microflox Drops 0.3 % Drops 5 ML are instilled topically.

Microflox Drops 0.3 % Drops 5 ML contain ciprofloxacin (0.3%), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• DNA Gyrase Inhibition: Ciprofloxacin inhibits a bacterial enzyme called DNA gyrase. This enzyme is crucial for bacteria to replicate and repair their DNA.

• Topoisomerase IV Inhibition: It also inhibits another bacterial enzyme named topoisomerase IV, which is essential for bacteria to transcribe their DNA.

• Bactericidal Effect: Ciprofloxacin inhibits key enzymes that prevent bacterial cells from dividing and multiplying, thus stopping the infection from progressing further. The medicine has a bactericidal effect, directly killing susceptible bacteria rather than simply stopping their growth.

• Store Microflox Drops 0.3 % Drops 5 ML at a steady room temperature below 30°C.

• Keep the bottle tightly closed to protect it from light and air.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• Maintain good eye hygiene, wash your hands thoroughly before instilling the eye drops, and avoid touching your eyes unnecessarily. These can help manage bacterial conjunctivitis, one of the conditions Microflox Drops 0.3 % Drops 5 ML helps manage.

• Avoid wearing contact lenses until your eye infection clears up completely. This is particularly important if you manage bacterial conjunctivitis or corneal ulcers with Microflox Drops 0.3 % Drops 5 ML, as wearing contact lenses can irritate your eyes further.
