Warning Do not use if allergic to ofloxacin or other quinolone antibiotics Avoid using contact lenses during treatment unless directed by your doctor Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface to prevent contamination Not recommended for children under 1 year old unless specifically prescribed Important Information Complete the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve before finishing. This helps prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. If symptoms worsen or persist after a few days, contact your healthcare provider. Note If you’re using multiple eye medications, wait at least 5 minutes between applications. If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule.
