Flojo-D already contains an antibiotic (Ofloxacin) and a steroid (Dexamethasone). If your irritation hasn?t improved, switching to Moxifloxacin (another antibiotic) on your own is not advisable. Your red eye could be due to a viral or fungal infection, or a resistant bacterial strain. Furthermore, abruptly changing or stopping steroid-containing drops like Flojo-D can be risky for your eyes. Please do not self-medicate. I strongly recommend visiting an ophthalmologist (eye specialist) for a proper eye examination to determine the exact cause of the irritation and prescribe the correct treatment.

Recommendation: Moxifloxacin eye drops may be beneficial in treating red eye infection, especially if current treatments (Flojo-D and Calpol) are ineffective.
Action:a. Consult an ophthalmologist to confirm diagnosis and suitability.b. Use as prescribed, following hygiene practices to avoid contamination.
Consideration: If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly.
