DESCRIPTION: Ofloxacin Ophthalmic Solution is a broad-spectrum antibiotic formula that treats eye infections caused by susceptible strains of bacteria. It is frequently used to treat conditions like bacterial eye infections, conjunctivitis, and corneal ulcers.

Ofloxacin is part of an antibiotic class called quinolones. These medications target the genetics of bacteria, which inhibits bacterial reproduction. This effectively stops the infection from spreading and causes bacterial death.
Formulated For: Intended for cats and dogs.
