MOXOFT LP DROPS 5 ML

How MOXOFT LP DROPS 5 ML Works

• MOXOFT LP DROPS 5 ML is a combination medication designed to treat bacterial eye infections, especially when inflammation is also present. It contains two active ingredients: Moxifloxacin and Loteprednol.
• Moxifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It 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 prevents bacteria from multiplying and effectively kills the bacteria causing the eye infection.
• Loteprednol is a corticosteroid. It works by suppressing the inflammatory response in the eye. It reduces swelling, redness, itching, and other symptoms of inflammation. Loteprednol achieves this by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. It also stabilizes cell membranes and reduces the permeability of blood vessels in the eye, which further helps to control inflammation.
• When combined, Moxifloxacin targets and eradicates the bacterial infection, while Loteprednol reduces the associated inflammation. This dual action provides comprehensive relief from bacterial eye infections with inflammatory components. The drops are applied directly to the eye, allowing the active ingredients to concentrate at the site of infection and inflammation, maximizing their therapeutic effect while minimizing systemic absorption.
• The combined action of Moxifloxacin and Loteprednol in MOXOFT LP DROPS 5 ML addresses both the infection and the inflammatory response, leading to faster relief and more effective treatment of bacterial eye infections complicated by inflammation. It's essential to use these drops as prescribed by a healthcare professional to ensure the infection is fully eradicated and inflammation is properly controlled, preventing recurrence and potential complications.

• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using Moxoft LP eye drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. This helps the medication absorb properly and prevents lens discoloration.
• Tilt your head back slightly and gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Squeeze the dropper to release one or two drops into the pocket, then gently close your eye for 1-2 minutes. Avoid blinking or rubbing your eye.
