Mahaflox KT Eye Drops 5 ml treats and prevents bacterial eye infections and itchy eyes caused by seasonal allergies.

It contains two medicines, namely: Ketorolac (NSAID) and Moxifloxacin (antibiotic). Ketorolac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking chemical messengers called 'prostaglandins' in your body to reduce pain and swelling. Moxifloxacin is a quinolone antibiotic. It is bactericidal (kills bacteria) and works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme required for the replication, transcription, and repair of the DNA.
