Floxabid Eye Drop 0.30% contains Ciprofloxacin, a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic specially formulated for ophthalmic use. It is widely used for the treatment of bacterial infections of the eye, providing rapid and effective relief by eliminating susceptible bacteria.

Ciprofloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for bacterial replication and survival. This results in the destruction of infection-causing bacteria and helps restore eye health.
