Exocin Ophthalmic Solution contain two active ingredients:

• Ofloxacin (3 mg): This fluoroquinolone antibiotic works on bacteria by inhibiting their DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes. By disrupting these enzymes, ofloxacin interferes with bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair and recombination processes leading to cell death.

• Benzalkonium chloride (0.05 mg): As a quaternary ammonium compound, benzalkonium chloride acts as a preservative and bactericidal agent in Exocin Ophthalmic Solution. It disrupts bacterial cell membranes causing leakage of cellular components and eventually lysis or breakdown of the cell. It works against bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and some viruses, thus helping to prevent contamination of the multi dose container.

• Store Exocin Ophthalmic Solution at a temperature between 25°C-30°C.

• Keep them away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not freeze.

• Use the solution within one month after opening the container.

• Ensure the container is tightly closed when not in use.

• Place them out of reach of children.

• If you're using Exocin Ophthalmic Solution for conjunctivitis, avoid touching your eyes and wash your hands frequently to prevent spreading the infection.

• For those with corneal ulcers, avoid activities that may expose your eyes to dust, dirt, or anything that can irritate your eyes further.
