Zoxan D Eye/ear Drops 10ml

For the ear, it treats otitis media and otitis externa caused by susceptible bacteria.

• Close your eye or keep your head tilted for a few minutes so that the medicine can spread evenly.

Zoxan-D Eye/Ear Drops are applied topically.

This medication consists of three active ingredients:

• Ciprofloxacin (0.3%): As an antibiotic, ciprofloxacin stops bacterial growth by inhibiting an enzyme called DNA-gyrase that bacteria need to replicate their DNA.

• Dexamethasone (0.1%): This is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the body. It achieves this by blocking the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammation.

• Benzalkonium Chloride (0.01%): This component acts as a disinfectant and antiseptic. It works by disrupting the structure of bacterial cells, thereby killing them and preventing further growth.

Together, these three components help manage bacterial infections while reducing associated inflammation and discomfort.
