Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Corneal ulceration - Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome

Before using Ofloxacin‑Ophtal® Sine, consider the following precautions: - Allergy assessment: avoid if the patient has known hypersensitivity to fluoroquinolones or any component of the solution. - Contact lens use: discontinue lenses during treatment to reduce irritation risk. - Systemic absorption: minimal, but avoid in patients with tendon disorders. - Pregnancy and lactation: use only if clearly needed after risk‑benefit evaluation. - Resistance: limit use to confirmed bacterial infections to prevent antimicrobial resistance. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from light and moisture.

Ofloxacin‑Ophtal® Sine may interact with other ophthalmic or systemic agents.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Systemic fluoroquinolones: concurrent use may increase risk of tendon rupture. - Corticosteroid eye drops: may mask infection signs, use with caution. - Anticholinergic agents: may reduce ocular secretions, monitor closely.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory eye drops: may increase ocular irritation. - Herbal eye preparations: potential additive irritation.
