Overview Zoxan Eye Ointment

Ocuflox antibiotic ointment treats bacterial eye infections by inhibiting pathogen proliferation, thus alleviating infection symptoms. Dosage and duration should strictly adhere to your physician's instructions. Administration timing is flexible, but consistency is crucial; complete the prescribed course even with symptom improvement. Missed doses shouldn't be doubled; simply resume the regular schedule. Nausea, a potential temporary side effect, usually subsides spontaneously; however, persistent or bothersome nausea requires medical consultation. Diarrhea is another possible side effect, resolving upon treatment completion. Report persistent diarrhea or blood in stool immediately. Pre-existing allergies to any ointment component contraindicate its use. Seek immediate medical help if a severe allergic reaction (rash, facial/lingual swelling, dyspnea) occurs. Patients with renal impairment require careful monitoring during treatment.
