OFRIVID DX DROPS 10 ML

How OFRIVID DX DROPS 10 ML Works

• OFRIVID DX DROPS 10 ML is a combination medication specifically formulated to treat bacterial eye infections associated with inflammation. It contains two active ingredients: Ofloxacin and Dexamethasone. Each component plays a crucial role in alleviating the symptoms and eradicating the underlying infection.
• Ofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that belongs to the fluoroquinolone class. It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes. These enzymes are essential for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, and repair. By blocking the activity of these enzymes, Ofloxacin prevents bacteria from multiplying and effectively kills them. Its broad-spectrum activity makes it effective against a wide range of bacteria commonly responsible for eye infections.
• Dexamethasone, on the other hand, is a corticosteroid with potent anti-inflammatory properties. It works by suppressing the release of inflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. These mediators contribute to the redness, swelling, itching, and pain associated with eye infections. By reducing inflammation, Dexamethasone helps to relieve discomfort and improve vision.
• When OFRIVID DX DROPS are administered, Ofloxacin targets and eliminates the bacterial infection, while Dexamethasone reduces the inflammatory response. This dual action provides rapid relief from symptoms and promotes faster healing. The drops are designed to be instilled directly into the affected eye, allowing the active ingredients to reach the site of infection quickly and effectively.
• The combination of Ofloxacin and Dexamethasone in OFRIVID DX DROPS offers a synergistic effect. By controlling both the infection and the inflammation, it provides comprehensive treatment for bacterial eye infections, leading to a quicker recovery and reduced risk of complications. It is important to use the drops as prescribed by your doctor and complete the full course of treatment, even if your symptoms improve, to ensure complete eradication of the bacteria and prevent recurrence of the infection.

OFRIVID DX DROPS 10 ML, like other medications, can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Common side effects may include temporary burning or stinging sensation in the eye, blurred vision, and eye discomfort. Less common side effects can include eye itching, redness, tearing, dry eye, sensitivity to light, allergic reactions (such as rash, itching, swelling), and rarely, increased pressure inside the eye (glaucoma), corneal problems, and changes in taste. If you experience any persistent or severe side effects, or notice any signs of an allergic reaction, discontinue use and consult your doctor immediately.

• If you miss a dose of Ofridvid-DX eye drops, use it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.

• Keep OFRIVID DX DROPS 10ML away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store OFRIVID DX DROPS 10ML at room temperature.

• Complete the Full Course: Even if your symptoms improve quickly, it's crucial to finish the entire course of Ofrivid DX Drops as prescribed by your doctor. Stopping prematurely can lead to the infection returning and potentially becoming resistant to the medication. Typically, the full course lasts for about 7 days, but always follow your doctor's specific instructions.
• Administer the Correct Dosage: Use the exact number of drops prescribed by your doctor for each dose. Avoid increasing or decreasing the dosage without consulting them. Incorrect dosage can either be ineffective or cause side effects. Follow the instructions on the label carefully and ensure a proper gap between each dosage, usually 4-6 hours, as prescribed by your doctor.
• Proper Application Technique: To administer Ofrivid DX Drops, tilt your head back slightly, pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket, and gently squeeze the prescribed number of drops into the pocket. Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye or any other surface to prevent contamination. Close your eye gently for 1-2 minutes without squeezing it shut. Wipe away any excess liquid with a clean tissue.
• Store Correctly: Store Ofrivid DX Drops at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Ensure it is out of reach of children and pets. Do not use the drops if they change color or become cloudy. If you are unsure about the storage conditions, consult your pharmacist.
• Consult Your Doctor if Symptoms Worsen or Persist: If your eye infection symptoms worsen or do not improve within a few days of using Ofrivid DX Drops, consult your doctor immediately. It's possible that the infection is resistant to the medication or that you have another underlying condition. Similarly, if you experience any severe side effects such as severe burning, stinging, swelling, or vision changes, seek medical attention right away.

• There are no known interactions between Ofrivid DX Drops 10 ml and food. This medicine can be used with or without food. However, if you experience stomach upset, it is best to take it with food.
