How Do Ofloxacin + Dexamethasone Eye / Ear Drops (OFLO D) Work?
OFLO D combines two active ingredients that work through different mechanisms. Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that helps control susceptible bacteria by interfering with enzymes required for bacterial DNA replication. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, swelling, and associated discomfort. Together, these ingredients may help manage certain bacterial eye or ear conditions accompanied by inflammation when prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional.

Uses of Ofloxacin + Dexamethasone Eye / Ear Drops (OFLO D)
OFLO D may be prescribed for selected eye or ear conditions involving susceptible bacterial infections and inflammation. Its suitability depends on the patient's diagnosis and the intended site of application.
Potential uses may include:
Certain bacterial eye infections associated with inflammation.
Selected external ear infections accompanied by inflammation, when the formulation is appropriate for the condition.
Specific eye or ear conditions where a healthcare professional determines that both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment are required.
