A targeted prescription antibiotic drop used to clear up severe bacterial infections inside the eyes or ears.
Floxsol contains Norfloxacin (0.3%), a powerful, broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic.
When harmful bacteria invade the delicate, warm tissues of your eyes or ears, they rapidly multiply by copying their own DNA strands. This bacterial growth triggers your immune system to respond, leading to pain, swelling, angry redness, and thick, yellowish fluid discharge.
Floxsol works by stopping this bacterial growth cycle at a cellular level:
Jams the Copy Machine: The medicine directly binds to and deactivates two vital bacterial enzymes—DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV.
Halts DNA Repair: These specific enzymes act like structural zippers that bacteria absolutely need to untangle, repair, and replicate their genetic codes. By jamming these zippers, Floxsol makes it impossible for the bacteria to multiply.
Clears the Infection: Deprived of the ability to replicate or repair themselves, the invading bacteria die off rapidly, allowing your tissues to heal completely.
Bacterial Conjunctivitis ("Pink Eye"): Clearing up bacterial eye infections that cause deep pink redness, burning, swelling, and a sticky, crusty yellow or green discharge on the eyelids.
Corneal Ulcers: Treating deep bacterial infections on the clear surface layer of the eye.
Otitis Externa ("Swimmer's Ear"): Treating painful bacterial infections inside the external ear canal that cause severe throbbing aches, swelling, itching, and fluid drainage.
✅ Adults and Children Aged 1 Year and Older who need a direct, targeted antibiotic to wipe out a verified bacterial eye or ear infection.
❌ Viral or Fungal Infections: Never use Floxsol to treat viral infections (like eye herpes) or fungal ear conditions. Antibiotics only destroy bacteria. Using an antibiotic drop when you have a virus or fungus will not help; instead, it can delay proper care and allow the actual infection to worsen.
❌ Hypersensitivity: Do not use if you have a known history of severe allergic reactions to norfloxacin or any other fluoroquinolone antibiotics (like ciprofloxacin or ofloxacin).
The Antibiotic Course Law: You must use this medicine for the exact number of days prescribed by your doctor, even if your eye or ear looks completely healthy and feels normal after just two days. Stopping antibiotic drops too early allows the strongest, surviving bacteria to mutate and storm back as a highly dangerous, antibiotic-resistant infection.
The Standard Dose: Typically 1 to 2 drops into the affected eye(s) or ear(s) up to 4 times daily, or exactly as scheduled by your physician.
Because this medicine is dual-purpose, follow the exact sequence for your specific treatment area:
1.Wash hands thoroughly and open the bottle:Sanitization.
Wash your hands completely with soap and water. Open the bottle carefully. Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, eyelashes, fingers, or any surface, as touching anything introduces bacteria straight into the bottle.
2.Tilt your head back and pull your lower lid down:Application.
Tilt your head back, look up at the ceiling, and gently pull your lower eyelid down with one clean finger to create a small skin pocket. Hold the dropper directly over your eye.
3.Squeeze 1 drop and press the tear duct for 60 seconds:The Block.
Squeeze exactly 1 drop into the skin pocket. Close your eye gently. Immediately press your finger against the inner corner of your eye (next to your nose) for 1 full minute. This keeps the antibiotic drop pool resting directly on your eye tissue instead of draining into your throat.
4.Leave contact lenses out completely during treatment:Contact lens ban.
Do not wear contact lenses while you have an active eye infection. Lenses trap bacteria against your eye and can absorb the drop's preservatives. Wait until your infection is completely cured and your doctor gives you the clear before wearing them again.
1.Wash hands and clean the outer ear gently:Preparation.
Wash your hands with soap and water. Gently wipe away any loose, watery discharge from the outside of your ear canal with a clean cloth. Do not stick cotton buds deep inside your ear.
2.Tilt your head sideways or lie flat on your side:Positioning.
Tilt your head completely sideways or lie down flat on a bed with the infected ear facing upward toward the ceiling. Gently pull your outer earlobe upward and backward to physically straighten out your ear canal pathway.
3.Squeeze the drops inside and stay down for 5 minutes:Instillation.
Squeeze the prescribed number of drops into the ear canal. Keep the dropper tip out of the ear opening. Stay lying down completely flat for 5 minutes to ensure the liquid antibiotic trickles all the way down to coat your eardrum without running back out.
Floxsol acts entirely on local surface tissues, which safely avoids the nausea or stomach upset linked to oral antibiotic pills. Minor temporary reactions can include:
A brief, mild stinging, burning, or watering sensation for 1 to 2 minutes right after the drop lands in your eye.
Temporary, mild blurring of your vision right after application (avoid driving until your vision is 100% clear).
A mild itching feeling or a bitter taste in your mouth if the eye drop drains down your tear duct.
Mild ear burning or discomfort when first dropped into a heavily inflamed ear canal.
What should I do if I am using another eye drop at the same time?
If you are using other daily eye treatments, such as glaucoma drops or artificial tears, space them out safely. Wait at least 10 minutes between applying each type of drop. This prevents the second fluid from washing the antibiotic out of your eye before it has time to absorb into the tissue. Always use eye ointments last.
What should I do if I accidentally miss a scheduled application?
Apply your drops as soon as you remember that day, then continue with your regular schedule. However, if it is already almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed time entirely and return to your normal routine. Never drop a double dose (four drops at once) into your eye or ear to make up for a forgotten time, as excess liquid will simply run off without providing extra benefit.
How should I store this bottle after opening it?
Keep your Floxsol bottle stored at cool room temperature, away from direct heat and bright sunlight. Keep the bottle lid twisted on tightly when not in use. Throw away any remaining liquid exactly 4 weeks after you first break the sterile bottle seal, as open bottles gradually lose sterility over a month.
