What is Bestoflox 0.30% Eye Drops
Bestoflox 0.30% Eye Drops, manufactured by Bestochem Formulations (India) Ltd., contain Ofloxacin, a Fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat bacterial eye infections, including Conjunctivitis and Keratitis. It works by inhibiting bacterial growth, alleviating symptoms like redness, swelling, and irritation, and preventing further infection spread.
This prescription medication is strictly for external ophthalmic use. Always follow your doctor’s recommended dosage and duration to ensure effective treatment. Do not use these drops for viral or fungal eye infections, as they are ineffective against such conditions and may worsen symptoms if misused.
Before application, thoroughly wash your hands to prevent contamination. Tilt your head back, gently pull down the lower eyelid, and instill the prescribed number of drops. To maintain sterility, avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface, including your eye. Remove contact lenses before applying the drops and wait at least 15-20 minutes before reinserting.
Store the bottle at room temperature in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination. Discard the medication after the prescribed duration or as your doctor advises to avoid potential risks from expired eye drops.

FAQs
What should I do if my child shows no improvement after taking Bestoflox 0.30% for the prescribed duration?
If your child’s symptoms persist or worsen despite completing the prescribed course, consult your doctor immediately. Do not extend the treatment duration without medical guidance, as prolonged use without necessity may lead to bacterial resistance or unwanted side effects. Always follow your doctor’s instructions.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Bestoflox 0.30%?
Yes, but inform your doctor about all other medications, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, herbal supplements, or other eye drops. This helps avoid potential interactions and ensures the best therapeutic outcome while reducing the risk of adverse effects or decreased effectiveness.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Bestoflox 0.30%?
Yes, but it is essential to inform your doctor beforehand. Some antibiotics may alter immune responses, which affect how well certain vaccines work. Your doctor will assess the situation and guide you on the best timing for vaccination to ensure maximum effectiveness.
Can I stop using Bestoflox 0.30% when my symptoms subside?
Completing the prescribed course is essential, even if your symptoms improve early. Stopping treatment too soon can allow surviving bacteria to multiply, leading to recurrence and possible antibiotic resistance, making future infections harder to treat effectively.
Can I use Bestoflox 0.30% for viral or fungal infections?
No, Bestoflox is an antibiotic that only works against bacterial infections. It will not work for viral or fungal eye infections and may worsen them. Consult your doctor for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment if you suspect a non-bacterial infection.
Can I wear contact lenses while using Bestoflox 0.30%?
No, you should remove contact lenses before applying Bestoflox 0.30% and wait at least 15-20 minutes before reinserting them. This prevents irritation and ensures the medication is fully absorbed into the eye for optimal effectiveness without interfering with the contact lens material.
