Description

Ofloxacin 0.3% ear drops are an otic solution formulated to treat bacterial infections of the ear, such as otitis externa and otitis media. The active ingredient, ofloxacin, is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic known for its broad-spectrum activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for DNA replication and transcription, thereby stopping bacterial growth and proliferation.

The solution is supplied in a 5 mL dropper bottle, ensuring precise and convenient administration. It is clear and colorless, free from particulates, and designed to provide effective therapeutic action directly at the infection site. The preparation ensures minimal systemic absorption, reducing the risk of systemic side effects and drug interactions, making it suitable for localized ear infections.

Ofloxacin 0.3% ear drops are commonly used to alleviate symptoms such as ear pain, swelling, and discharge caused by bacterial infections. It is especially effective against pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, which are frequently implicated in ear infections.
