How should I take Ocuflox?
Read all medication guides or instruction sheets and adhere to all instructions on your prescription label. Follow the medication's instructions exactly. Just before each use, thoroughly shake the eye drops. How to use eye drops: To make a tiny pocket, tilt your head back a little and pull down your lower eyelid. Tip down, hold the dropper above your eye. As you squeeze out a drop, turn your head to look up and away from the dropper, then close your eyes.
Utilize only the quantity of drops that your doctor has advised. Use it as directed; do not use more, less, or more frequently.
Unless your doctor instructs you otherwise, you must apply the eye ointment at night. Just before applying the ointment, wash your hands. Apply the eye ointment by pulling your lower eyelid down and tilting your head back to create a small pocket. Hold the applicator tip close to your eye without touching it. You squeeze a ribbon of ointment into the pocket created by your lower eyelid, looking up and away from the applicator as you do so. For one to two minutes, close your eyes and roll them in a circle.
Avoid touching your hands, eyes, or other body parts with the eye drop or ointment bottle's tip. Wash it out thoroughly with lots of cool water if the drops or ointment get into your eye.
Do not touch the applicator tip of your medication to your eye, eyelid, or any other surface to avoid contaminating it with germs. When not in use, keep the container firmly closed. Keep your items at room temperature away from heat and moisture. Keep children and pets away from all medications. Unless specifically instructed to do so, avoid flushing medications down the toilet or pouring them into drains. When the product is no longer needed or has expired, dispose of it properly. Consult your pharmacist or the neighborhood waste management company.
