Tariflox 10 ml eye drops is a medication that contains ofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. Its mechanism of action involves inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes critical for bacterial DNA replication and transcription. By disrupting these processes, ofloxacin effectively hampers bacterial growth and replication, leading to the death of susceptible bacteria.
