Leflox Eye Drop 0.50% contains Levofloxacin, a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic specifically formulated for ophthalmic use. It is designed to treat bacterial infections of the eye, including conjunctivitis, keratitis, and other superficial ocular infections caused by susceptible bacteria. Levofloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, essential enzymes for bacterial DNA replication and repair, thereby stopping bacterial growth and eliminating infection.
Leflox Eye Drop provides rapid relief from symptoms such as redness, itching, discharge, and irritation while ensuring targeted antibacterial action directly at the site of infection. Its sterile, preservative-containing formulation ensures safety and stability for ophthalmic use.
