• Eye Infections – Provides relief from redness, swelling, discharge, and irritation.

How to Use Norflox Eye Drop ?

Wash your hands before applying Norflox Eye Drop to avoid contamination. Tilt your head back, gently pull down the lower eyelid, and squeeze one drop into the affected eye as prescribed by your doctor.

Close your eyes for a few seconds and avoid blinking excessively. Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye or any surface to prevent contamination. If using other eye medications, wait at least 5 minutes between applications.

Continue using for the full prescribed duration, even if symptoms improve, to ensure complete infection clearance. Store in a cool, dry place and keep the bottle tightly closed.

How Does Norflox Eye Drop Work?

Norflox Eye Drop contains Norfloxacin, a potent fluoroquinolone antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes. These enzymes are essential for bacterial DNA replication, repair, and cell division.

By blocking their function, Norflox effectively stops bacterial growth and eliminates the infection. This targeted action ensures fast relief from redness, swelling, and discharge caused by bacterial eye infections.

Unlike general eye drops, Norflox provides powerful antibacterial action without affecting healthy eye cells, making it a safe and effective treatment for bacterial conjunctivitis, corneal ulcers, and post-surgical infections.

Dosage 

• Bacterial Conjunctivitis: Instill 1-2 drops into the affected eye(s) every 2-4 hours for the first 2 days, then reduce to four times daily for the next 5 days or as prescribed.

• Corneal Ulcers: Apply 1 drop every 15 minutes for the first 6 hours, then 1 drop every 30 minutes for the rest of the day. On day 2, reduce to 1 drop every hour, then four times daily from days 3-7 or as directed.

• Missed Dose: Apply as soon as remembered, but do not double the dose.

Side Effects of Norflox Eye Drop

While Norflox Eye Drop is generally well-tolerated, some users may experience mild and temporary eye irritation after application. Common side effects include burning, stinging, redness, watery eyes, or blurred vision.

In rare cases, it may cause eye dryness, itching, or sensitivity to light. Prolonged use can lead to superinfection or bacterial resistance. Severe allergic reactions like eye swelling, pain, or vision disturbances require immediate medical attention.

To minimize side effects, use as directed, avoid touching the dropper tip, and discontinue use if irritation persists.

Precautions 

Before using Norflox Eye Drop, inform your doctor if you have allergies to fluoroquinolones or a history of eye disorders. Do not touch the dropper tip to avoid contamination.

Remove contact lenses before application and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. Avoid prolonged use, as it may cause bacterial resistance or secondary infections.

If eye irritation, swelling, or vision changes occur, stop use and consult a doctor.
