Levofloxacin is an eye antibiotic commonly used to treat eye infections. It belongs to the fluoroquinolone antibiotic class and is effective against bacterial infections in the eyes. This medication is usually used in the form of eye drops several times daily as recommended by your doctor. Before use, wash your hands thoroughly, then gently open your lower eyelids and allow the drops to drip into your eyes. Gently press the eye after use to help distribute the medication evenly. While using Levofloxacin, you may experience a slight irritation or burning sensation, which is normal. If discomfort persists or worsens, seek medical help immediately. While using this medicine, avoid contact with other substances around the eyes, as this may affect the effectiveness of the medicine. Be sure to complete the entire course of treatment as recommended by your doctor, and do not stop use early even if symptoms disappear.
How to use: Drop the medicine into the eyes, one drop at a time. Before use, wash hands and make sure eyes are clean. Do not let the eye drop bottle come into contact with your eyes when using it to avoid contamination. If you need to use more than one eye medication, wait about 5 to 10 minutes between each use.
Dosage Guidelines: Dosage is the same for adults and children. Typically, use one drop 3 to 4 times daily. If your doctor has other suggestions, please use them as directed. If any discomfort occurs during use, please stop use immediately and seek medical advice. Do not increase your dose or stop using the medicine on your own. If you forget to take a dose, use it as soon as you remember, but do not use a double dose to make up for it.
