How does Moxilocin D Eye Drop work?

Moxilocin D Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines: Moxifloxacin and Dexamethasone. Moxifloxacin acts as an antibiotic by preventing bacterial cells from dividing and repairing, ultimately leading to the death of the bacteria. This helps in treating the underlying bacterial infection. Dexamethasone, on the other hand, is a steroid that works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are responsible for causing redness, swelling, and itching. By inhibiting their production, Dexamethasone helps in reducing inflammation and alleviating symptoms such as redness, swelling, and itching associated with the infection.

Quick Suggestions:

• Moxifloxacin + Dexamethasone is used for the treatment of bacterial infection and inflammation of the eye.
• Here are some additional tips for using Moxifloxacin + Dexamethasone eye drops:
• Do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface to avoid contamination.
• Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before administering any other eye medications to avoid dilution of the medication.
• It may cause temporary blurring of vision when first used. Use caution before driving or operating machinery.
• Avoid wearing contact lenses until the infection clears up.

Indication of Moxilocin D Eye Drop

Moxilocin D is prescribed to treat bacterial eye infections, relieving symptoms like redness and swelling.

Pharmacology

Moxifloxacin inhibits both topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase) and topoisomerase IV, essential enzymes involved in bacterial DNA replication and repair. Dexamethasone, a cortisone derivative, possesses anti-allergic, anti-exudative, and anti-proliferative properties by inhibiting phospholipase A2 and neutrophil chemotactic infiltration.

Dosage of Moxilocin D Eye Drop

• Prevention of infection and post-surgical ocular inflammation: 1 drop, 4 times daily, from 1 day before surgery until 15 days after.

Administration of Moxilocin D Eye Drop

• Tilt your head slightly backward and gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
• Instill a few drops of the medicine into the pocket formed by the lower eyelid. Be careful not to touch the tip of the container to any surface, including your eyes, eyelids, or fingers, to prevent contamination.
• Close your eyes for about 2 minutes to allow the medication to spread evenly over the surface of the eye.
• If necessary, repeat the same steps for the other eye.
• If you wear soft contact lenses, remove them before applying Moxilocin D Eye Drop. Wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting the lenses.
• Wash your hands before and after using the eye drops to maintain proper hygiene.
• Allow at least 5 minutes between the administration of Moxilocin D Eye Drop and any other eye medications.
