• Close your eyes and apply light pressure to the inner corner for a minute or two. This will help keep the medicine from draining out.

• For specific advice on dosage or any other queries, it's best to consult your doctor.

Zoxan Eye/Ear Drops is instil topically.

Zoxan Eye/Ear Drops contain two active components:

• Ciprofloxacin (0.3%): As a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent, ciprofloxacin works by inhibiting specific bacterial enzymes called DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. These enzymes are important for bacterial DNA replication and repair. By blocking these processes, ciprofloxacin effectively kills the bacteria causing the eye infection.

• Benzalkonium Chloride (0.01%): This component serves as an antimicrobial preservative in the solution. Benzalkonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound that acts as a biocide, exhibiting bactericidal properties. It functions by disrupting the cell membranes of microorganisms, causing leakage of cellular contents and ultimately leading to cell death.

• Store Zoxan Eye/Ear Drops at room temperature not exceeding 30°C.

• Keep away from direct light to maintain the medicine's effectiveness.

• Ensure the container is tightly sealed when not in use to prevent exposure to air.

• Keep the medicine out of reach of children for safety.

• Maintain good eye hygiene to help manage bacterial eye infections. This includes washing your hands frequently, especially before touching your eyes, and changing your pillowcases regularly to avoid bacteria build-up.

• Avoid wearing contact lenses during treatment with Zoxan Eye/Ear Drops to minimise irritation and reduce the risk of further infection.
