What is Ofloxacin used for?

This medication helps reduce inflammation and fight infection to promote healing. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional.

Ofloxacin eye drops are generally safe and do not interact significantly with other medications. However, using multiple eye drops should be spaced at least 5 minutes apart to avoid dilution.
