OFLOXACIN+DEXAMETHASONE PHOSPHATE+HYDROXY PROPYL METHYL CELLULOSE 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.
OFLOXACIN+DEXAMETHASONE PHOSPHATE+HYDROXY PROPYL METHYL CELLULOSE 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. Dexamethasone phosphate blocks the production of prostaglandins that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy. 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.
Use OFLOXACIN+DEXAMETHASONE PHOSPHATE+HYDROXY PROPYL METHYL CELLULOSE in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor based on your medical condition. OFLOXACIN+DEXAMETHASONE PHOSPHATE+HYDROXY PROPYL METHYL CELLULOSE is generally safe to use. However, some may experience side effects like temporary stinging, burning, redness or watering of the eyes, eye/ear discomfort and irritation. Most of these side effects of OFLOXACIN+DEXAMETHASONE PHOSPHATE+HYDROXY PROPYL METHYL CELLULOSE 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 OFLOXACIN+DEXAMETHASONE PHOSPHATE+HYDROXY PROPYL METHYL CELLULOSE or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney diseases, fungal infections, and heart problems before using OFLOXACIN+DEXAMETHASONE PHOSPHATE+HYDROXY PROPYL METHYL CELLULOSE. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use OFLOXACIN+DEXAMETHASONE PHOSPHATE+HYDROXY PROPYL METHYL CELLULOSE with proper consultation and caution.

Eye infections:
Ear infections:
Bacterial eye infections: The common bacterial eye infections are conjunctivitis, stye, and keratitis. Conjunctivitis (pink eye) is the infection or inflammation of the conjunctiva (white part of the eye) and the inner eyelid. A stye is a bump on the eyelid or base of eyelashes. Keratitis is the inflammation of the cornea. It is a common problem in people who wear contact lenses. Symptoms include redness, pain, discomfort, itchiness, burning sensation, and watery discharge from the eye.
Bacterial ear infections: An ear infection occurs when the bacteria affect the middle or outer ear, leading to pain and inflammation. An ear infection occurs when the Eustachian tubes (small tunes that run from each ear to the back of the throat) become blocked or swollen. Ear infections can be painful due to inflammation and fluid build-up. Symptoms include pain or discomfort inside the ear, pus or fluid-like drainage from the ear, feeling of pressure inside the ear, and loss of hearing.
