description
Eye drops based on ofloxacin 0.3% and HPMC (Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose) .
presentation
5 mL dropper bottle with atraumatic applicator .
action
Last-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic.Ofloxacin shows excellent penetration into the corneal structure due to its liposolubility. Its optimal solubility at a neutral pH results in less precipitation of the main ingredient and a higher concentration in tears. (Greater penetration than ciprofloxacin and more potency than norfloxacin). Ofloxacin inhibits topoisomerase IV and the bacterial DNA gyrase, preventing the replication and transcription of the bacterial DNA. It acts on infections caused by Gram (+) bacteria, including anaerobes, gram-negative bacteria, mycoplasma and Chlamydia.
indications
Treatment of infectious conjunctivitis of bacterial origin, corneal ulcers, infection secondary to keratoconjunctivitis sicca, pre- and post-eye surgeries in cats and dogs.
