About B-Fax Eye/Ear Drops 5 ml

B-Fax Eye/Ear Drops 5 ml is used to treat bacterial infections of the eye and ear. A bacterial eye infection occurs when bacteria enter the eye and multiply, causing inflammation, redness, pain, and vision problems. A bacterial ear infection occurs when bacteria enter the ear, causing pain, inflammation, and hearing problems.

B-Fax Eye/Ear Drops 5 ml contains three medications: betamethasone (a corticosteroid), hypromellose (lubricant), and ofloxacin (an antibiotic).
