Always inform your ophthalmologist or doctor about all medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements. This includes oral medications as well as other eye drops.
Concurrent use of ofloxacin ophthalmic with other topical ophthalmic medications may alter absorption or effectiveness. Allow sufficient time (around 5-10 minutes) between applications to minimize interaction. Your doctor can provide specific guidance based on your medications.
Antacids containing magnesium or aluminum can potentially reduce ofloxacin absorption if taken concurrently with oral medications containing ofloxacin (although ofloxacin ophthalmic is topical). Separate administration times are advisable. Consult your physician or pharmacist for guidance.
Theophylline levels can potentially be affected by concurrent use with ofloxacin. Regular monitoring of theophylline levels might be necessary in such cases. Your doctor will advise if this is required for you.
Caution is advised if using ofloxacin ophthalmic with medications that prolong the QT interval, as this may increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmias. Your doctor will assess your risk.
