SUGIFLOX® (Ofloxacin 0.3%) is a sterile ophthalmic ointment. Ofloxacin is fluorinated 4-quinolone antibiotic. It is bactericidal in action. It is thought to exert a bactericidal effect on susceptible bacterial cells by inhibiting DNA-gyrase, an essential bacterial enzyme, which is critical catalyst in the duplication, transcription and repair of bacterial DNA. Ofloxacin has been shown to be active against most strains of the microorganisms both in vitro and clinically, in conjunctival and/or corneal ulcer infections.
SUGIFLOX® ointment is indicated for the treatment of conjunctivitis, corneal ulcers, external infections of the eye and ocular surface caused by various gram - positive & gram - negative bacteria and anaerobic species.
Apply small amount of ointment into the conjunctival sac(s) three times for two days and then twice daily for a further five days. The dose may be extended at the direction of physician.
SUGIFLOX® 0.3% eye ointment is supplied as pack of 3.5grams in tubes (Gamma irradiated).
