How it works
B-Fax Ophthalmic Solution is a combination of two medicines: Betamethasone and Ofloxacin. Betamethasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the eye red, swollen and itchy. Ofloxacin is an antibiotic which prevents bacterial cells from dividing and repairing, thereby killing the bacteria. This treats your eye infection.
Quick Tips
Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Stopping it early may make the infection come back and harder to treat. Do not touch the tip to any surface to avoid contamination. Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication to avoid dilution. Do not wear contact lenses until your infection clears up. Do not use it more often or for longer than advised by your doctor.
