Mechanism of Action

Levofloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA synthesis, leading to cell death:

• Inhibition of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV: These enzymes are essential for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, and repair.

• Bactericidal effect: Prevents bacterial growth and rapidly reduces infection.

• Broad-spectrum coverage: Effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including common ocular pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae.

This mechanism ensures effective elimination of bacteria with minimal systemic absorption, reducing the risk of systemic side effects.

Indications

Levoflox Eye Drop 0.50% is indicated for the treatment of:

• Bacterial conjunctivitis: Reduces redness, discharge, and irritation caused by bacterial infections.

• Keratitis and corneal ulcers: Effective in managing superficial bacterial infections of the cornea.

• Blepharitis and other eyelid infections: Helps control bacterial proliferation around the eyelids.

• External ear infections (otitis externa): Suitable for superficial bacterial infections of the ear canal.

• Prevention of bacterial infection in minor ocular trauma: Reduces risk of secondary infection.

Dosage and Administration

For eye infections:

• Instill 1–2 drops into the affected eye(s) every 2–4 hours for the first 2 days.

• After improvement, reduce to 1 drop every 4–6 hours for 5–7 days, or as directed by a physician.

For ear infections:

• Instill 2–3 drops into the affected ear, 2–3 times daily.

• Maintain the ear in an upward position for several minutes to ensure proper absorption.

Important:

• Wash hands before and after use.

• Avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye, ear, or any surface.

• Continue therapy for the full prescribed duration to prevent recurrence and resistance.

Precautions

• Consult a doctor if you have a history of hypersensitivity to fluoroquinolones or eye/ear conditions requiring special care.

• Remove contact lenses before administration and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting.

• Avoid driving or operating machinery if vision is temporarily blurred after instillation.

• Do not use in case of viral or fungal infections unless prescribed with appropriate therapy.
