About Oflacin-Dm Eye/Ear Drops
Oflacin-Dm Eye/Ear Drops is primarily used to treat bacterial infections of the ear and eye. Bacterial eye infection is associated with the inflammation or infection of the conjunctiva (white part of the eye) and the inner eyelid. An ear infection occurs when the bacteria affect the middle or outer ear, leading to pain and inflammation.
Oflacin-Dm Eye/Ear Drops contains Ofloxacin, Dexamethasone phosphate, and Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. Ofloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme required for the replication, transcription, and repair of the DNA.

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose relieves the dryness and irritation of the eyes caused due to reduced tear flow. It acts as a lubricant and moistens the ear.
