Determination of Antibacterial agents in levofloxacin eye drops

Levofloxacin eye drops are light yellow to light yellow or light yellow green clear liquid. It is applicable to eye diseases such as blepharitis, eyelid adenitis, dacryocystitis, conjunctivitis, tarsal plate adenitis, keratitis caused by Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, pneumococcus, Micrococcus and Enterococcus.

In order to prevent the eye drops from being polluted by microorganisms in the process of use and preservation, an appropriate amount of bacteriostatic agents are often added. Therefore, the rational use and quality control of bacteriostatic agents have become one of the key problems to ensure the safety and effectiveness of eye drops. Welch Materials brings you the content determination scheme of bacteriostatic agent in levofloxacin eye drops.
