Zo D 5 ml
What is Zo D 5 ml
Zo D 5 ml eye drops are a combination medication for bacterial eye infections. It also helps reduce inflammation associated with infections. It contains Ofloxacin and Dexamethasone as active ingredients, which belong to the antibacterial and corticosteroid drug classes.
It is manufactured by leading pharmaceutical companies like FDC Limited, which is known for its quality ophthalmic formulations. This eye drop primarily treats eye bacterial infections, such as Conjunctivitis and Keratitis (Corneal Ulcer). These infections may be present with symptoms like redness, swelling, discharge, and irritation.
Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that binds to two key enzymes, DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, and is responsible for bacterial DNA replication. The ingredient inhibits these enzymes to disrupt DNA replication and repair the process, stopping bacterial growth.
On the other hand, Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators. This decreases swelling, redness, and pain associated with inflammation.
Zo D eye drops are administered directly into the eye as a healthcare professional prescribes at a fixed time to ensure optimum efficiency. Shaking the bottle well before use is essential to mix the formulations properly. Avoid touching the nozzle on your hands or any surface, including the eye.
If a dose has been missed, it should be applied as soon as possible. However, if the dose is close to your scheduled time, do not apply the dose and continue your routine. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one. Overusing the medication may lead to side effects like increased eye pressure or worsening symptoms.
