Norflox D Eye/ear Drops 10 ML

Norflox Eye/ear Drops are used for the following reasons:

• Managing superficial eye infections such as acute bacterial conjunctivitis.

• Dealing with eyelid inflammation, a condition known as blepharitis.

• Addressing acute otitis externa, an outer ear infection.

• Assisting in the management of chronic suppurative otitis media, a persistent ear infection.

• Ensure your hands are clean before handling the drops.

• For eye instillation, tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Hold the dropper above the affected eye and squeeze out 1 or 2 drops as needed.

• For ear instillation, clean the ear canal thoroughly and dry it before instillation. Lie down with your affected ear upward and instil 4 drops into the ear. Remain in this position for about a minute to allow the drops to penetrate.

• If irritation persists or increases, discontinue the use and consult your doctor.

• Do not touch the nozzle tip to any surface since this may contaminate the solution.

Norflox Eye/ear Drops are instilled topically.

Norflox Eye/ear Drops contain two active ingredients:

• Norfloxacin (0.3%): This fluoroquinolone antibiotic works by inhibiting a bacterial enzyme involved in DNA replication, repair, and transcription called DNA gyrase. By disrupting these processes, norfloxacin effectively stops bacterial DNA synthesis leading to cell death.

• Benzalkonium Chloride (0.01%): This compound acts as a preservative preventing microbial contamination in the eye/ear drop solution. Additionally, it has antimicrobial properties which contribute to the overall antibacterial effect of the drops.

• Always store Norflox Eye/ear Drops at room temperature, ideally in a cool and dry place.

• Protect from light, ensuring that the bottle is tightly capped when not in use.

• Keep out of reach from children to prevent accidental ingestion or misuse.

• If you're managing bacterial infections in your eyes or ears with Norflox Eye/ear Drops, take care to maintain good hygiene practices. Avoid touching your eyes or ears without washing your hands first.

• For those with ear infections, avoid swimming or water-based activities until you fully recover, as this might exacerbate the symptoms. Always dry your ears properly after bathing or showering.
