MOXISURGE L DROPS 5 ML

How MOXISURGE L DROPS 5 ML Works

• MOXISURGE L DROPS 5 ML is a combination medication containing Moxifloxacin and Loteprednol etabonate, designed to treat bacterial infections and inflammation of the eye. Moxifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes. These enzymes are crucial for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. By blocking these enzymes, Moxifloxacin effectively stops bacteria from multiplying and spreading, thereby resolving the infection.
• Loteprednol etabonate, on the other hand, is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation. When applied to the eye, it inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. These mediators are responsible for causing redness, swelling, pain, and itching associated with eye inflammation. Loteprednol works by binding to glucocorticoid receptors in the cells, which in turn reduces the expression of inflammatory genes. This action alleviates the symptoms of inflammation and promotes healing.
• The combination of Moxifloxacin and Loteprednol provides a dual-action approach to treating eye conditions. Moxifloxacin tackles the bacterial infection, while Loteprednol reduces the associated inflammation. This synergistic effect not only helps to eliminate the infection but also provides relief from the discomfort caused by inflammation. MOXISURGE L DROPS are particularly useful in conditions where inflammation is a significant component of the bacterial infection, such as post-operative inflammation following cataract surgery or other eye procedures. The drops ensure a comprehensive treatment, addressing both the infectious and inflammatory aspects of the condition, leading to faster recovery and improved patient comfort. It is important to use MOXISURGE L DROPS exactly as prescribed by your doctor to ensure the best possible outcome and to minimize the risk of side effects. Regular and consistent application as directed will help in effectively managing the infection and inflammation.

• If you miss a dose of Moxisurge L Drops, use it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.

• Keep MOXISURGE L DROPS 5ML away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store MOXISURGE L DROPS 5ML at room temperature.

• **Complete the Full Course:** Even if your child's symptoms improve quickly, ensure they complete the entire course of MOXISURGE L Drops as prescribed by the doctor. Stopping early can lead to the infection returning or becoming resistant to antibiotics.
• **Administer Correct Dosage:** Use the provided dropper to measure the exact dose of MOXISURGE L Drops as instructed by your pediatrician. Avoid estimating, as incorrect dosage can affect the medication's effectiveness and increase the risk of side effects. If unsure, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist.
• **Maintain Hygiene:** While MOXISURGE L Drops treats the infection, maintaining good hygiene is crucial for preventing future occurrences. Encourage frequent handwashing, especially after touching the eyes, and avoid sharing towels or personal items.
• **Monitor for Allergic Reactions:** Be vigilant for any signs of allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. If any of these symptoms occur after administering MOXISURGE L Drops, discontinue use immediately and seek urgent medical attention.
• **Proper Storage is Key:** Store MOXISURGE L Drops at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use and out of reach of children. Do not use the drops if the solution changes color or contains particles.
• **Avoid Touching the Dropper Tip:** To prevent contamination, avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye or any other surface. This helps maintain the sterility of the drops and prevents the introduction of bacteria into the bottle.
• **Consult your doctor before using other eye medications:** Before using any other eye medications along with Moxisurge L, consult your doctor to avoid potential drug interactions.

• MOXISURGE L DROPS 5 ML is generally safe to use with food. There are no known significant interactions between this medication and food. However, if you experience any stomach upset or discomfort after taking the drops, you may prefer to take them separately from meals.
