MOXIGRAM D DROPS 5 ML

How MOXIGRAM D DROPS 5 ML Works

• MOXIGRAM D DROPS 5 ML is a combination medication primarily used to treat bacterial eye infections and inflammation. It brings together the potent antibacterial action of Moxifloxacin and the anti-inflammatory benefits of Dexamethasone, offering a dual approach to combatting eye ailments.
• Moxifloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, targets bacterial infections by interfering with the bacterial DNA replication process. Specifically, it inhibits two essential enzymes: DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. These enzymes are crucial for bacteria to replicate their DNA and, consequently, multiply. By blocking these enzymes, Moxifloxacin effectively halts bacterial growth and kills the existing bacteria causing the infection. Its broad-spectrum activity makes it effective against a wide range of ocular bacterial pathogens.
• Dexamethasone, on the other hand, is a corticosteroid that works by suppressing the body's inflammatory response. When the eye is infected, the body's natural reaction is to trigger inflammation, leading to redness, swelling, pain, and itching. Dexamethasone inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, thereby reducing inflammation. This helps to alleviate the discomfort associated with eye infections and promotes faster healing.
• The synergistic action of Moxifloxacin and Dexamethasone in MOXIGRAM D DROPS 5 ML provides comprehensive relief. Moxifloxacin tackles the bacterial infection at its source, while Dexamethasone reduces the associated inflammation. This combination not only helps to eradicate the infection but also minimizes the discomfort and promotes a quicker recovery. The drops are designed for direct application to the eye, ensuring that the active ingredients are delivered directly to the affected area for maximum efficacy. Always use as directed by your healthcare professional.
