Opthaflox Eye Drop 0.30% contains Lomefloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic formulated for ophthalmic use. Lomefloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA replication and repair, effectively stopping the growth and proliferation of susceptible bacteria. This makes Opthaflox highly effective in treating a variety of bacterial eye infections, providing rapid relief and promoting healing.

The 0.30% formulation delivers therapeutic concentrations directly to the eye, minimizing systemic absorption and potential side effects. It is particularly useful for treating conjunctivitis, keratitis, and other superficial ocular infections, ensuring targeted antimicrobial action while being gentle on ocular tissues.
