About Moxa Eye Drops 5 ml
Moxa Eye Drops 5 ml belongs to the class of 'antibiotics', primarily used to treat bacterial eye infections, such as bacterial conjunctivitis. A bacterial eye infection occurs when bacteria invade any part of the eyeball or its surrounding tissues, including the cornea (clear front surface of the eye) and the conjunctiva (thin membrane lining the outer eye and inner eyelids).
Moxa Eye Drops 5 ml contains Moxifloxacin, which acts as a bactericidal agent that kills bacteria, causing a wide range of infections. It works by stopping a bacteria's ability to copy their genetic material (DNA), which stops them from reproducing and ultimately kills bacteria.
Use Moxa Eye Drops 5 ml as directed by your doctor, in the dose and duration advised. In some cases, you may experience common side effects, such as dry eyes, watery eyes, eye pain or discomfort, blurred vision, redness, itching, and eye irritation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and usually resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
Inform your doctor if you have any eye or corneal problems or allergic reactions before starting Moxa Eye Drops 5 ml. Let your doctor know if you are planning to get pregnant, are pregnant or breastfeeding.
