Introduction to Cofloxin Eye Drop

It is an antibiotic medication containing Ofloxacin, which functions by preventing bacteria from dividing and repairing. 

  • This is achieved by blocking a bacterial enzyme called DNA-gyrase, ultimately leading to the death of the bacteria. 
  • It is primarily designed for external use to treat eye and ear infections.
  • Ofloxacin, the active ingredient, inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase, a crucial enzyme involved in replicating and repairing bacterial DNA. 
  • By blocking this enzyme, Ofloxacin disrupts the bacterial life cycle, leading to bacterial death and the resolution of infections.
