Description
What’s Obivin D?
Obivin D is a sterile eye drop containing Ofloxacin (antibiotic) and Dexamethasone (steroid) for treating bacterial eye infections with significant inflammation. Kills bacteria. Calms swelling. Two actions from one drop.
Ofloxacin belongs to the fluoroquinolone antibiotic family. Broad-spectrum. Covers most bacteria responsible for eye infections staph, strep, pseudomonas, haemophilus, and others.
Dexamethasone is a potent corticosteroid. Shuts down the inflammatory response causing redness, swelling, and pain.
Together they work faster than antibiotic alone. Infection clears while inflammation settles simultaneously.
How Each Ingredient Works
Ofloxacin 0.3%
Blocks bacterial DNA replication. Targets two enzymes bacteria need to copy their genetic material DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. Without these enzymes functioning, bacteria can’t multiply. Existing bacteria die. Infection resolves.
Bacteria covered:
| Type | Common Species |
|---|---|
| Gram-positive | Staph aureus, Staph epidermidis, Strep pneumoniae |
| Gram-negative | Pseudomonas, Haemophilus, E. coli, Moraxella |
Dexamethasone 0.1%
Stops inflammation at the cellular level. Blocks phospholipase A2 the enzyme that kicks off the entire inflammatory cascade. Also reduces blood vessel dilation, decreases fluid leakage into tissues, and prevents white blood cells from flooding the area.
Result: redness fades, swelling goes down, pain decreases, eye feels comfortable faster.
Conditions Treated
| Condition | Description |
|---|---|
| Bacterial conjunctivitis | Pink eye caused by bacteria with significant inflammation |
| Blepharitis | Infected, inflamed eyelids |
| Keratitis | Corneal infection (serious needs aggressive treatment) |
| Post-surgical infection prevention | After cataract surgery, LASIK, other procedures |
| Corneal ulcer | Bacterial ulcer on cornea |
| Dacryocystitis | Tear duct infection |
Dosing
| Situation | Dose | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Mild to moderate infection | 1-2 drops | Every 4-6 hours |
| Severe infection (first 2 days) | 1-2 drops | Every 2 hours while awake |
| After improvement | 1-2 drops | Every 4-6 hours |
| Post-operative | 1-2 drops | 4 times daily or as surgeon directs |
Typical duration: 7-10 days. Don’t stop early. Don’t extend without doctor’s approval.
Application Steps
- Wash hands with soap and water
- Tilt head backward
- Pull lower eyelid down gently
- Hold bottle above eye don’t touch dropper to eye or lid
- Squeeze one drop into the pocket formed
- Close eye gently
- Press inner corner of eye (near nose) for 1-2 minutes
- Wipe excess with clean tissue
- Wait 5-10 minutes before other eye medications
Common Mistakes
Stopping when symptoms improve. Day 3 feels fine. You quit. Bacteria aren’t fully dead. Infection comes back sometimes antibiotic-resistant.
Contaminating the bottle. Dropper touches eyelid or lashes. Now bacteria are in the bottle. Every subsequent drop reinfects your eye.
Using too long. Steroids cause problems with extended use. Stick to prescribed duration.
Wrong diagnosis. Using antibiotic-steroid drops on viral or fungal infection makes things worse. Steroids help viruses and fungi spread.

FAQs
How quickly does it work?
Noticeable improvement within 24-48 hours. Steroid reduces inflammation fast. Full bacterial clearance takes 7-10 days.
Can I use this for any pink eye?
Only bacterial pink eye diagnosed by a doctor. Viral pink eye won’t respond and steroids will make viral infections worse.
Eye feels fine after 3 days. Stop using?
No. Finish the full course. Symptoms improve before bacteria are eliminated. Stopping early causes recurrence.
Safe during pregnancy?
Limited data. Minimal systemic absorption from eye drops. Discuss with your doctor they’ll evaluate risk versus benefit.
Can children use it?
Yes, with medical supervision. Same dosing. Short treatment duration preferred. Watch for steroid side effects.
Why does it sting?
pH difference between drops and natural tears. Normal. Lasts under a minute. Severe persistent stinging stop and consult doctor.
How long is it good after opening?
4 weeks maximum. Mark opening date on bottle. Discard after 4 weeks even if drops remain.
Can I use for ear infection?
No. Formulated for eyes only. Different formulation needed for ears.
