About Moxi LP Eye Drops 5 ml

Moxi LP Eye Drops 5 ml belongs to a group of medications called ‘Antibiotics and Corticosteroids’ used to treat bacterial eye infections or eye discomfort. It is also used in patients who have undergone eye surgeries. It is used to treat eye inflammation caused by allergies, shingles, iritis (inflammation of the coloured part of the eye (iris)), uveitis (inflammation of the middle layer of the eye (uvea)), eye injury, radiation, and chemical burns. 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). Moxi LP Eye Drops 5 ml is used to prevent or treat only bacterial eye infections. It does not work against infections caused by viruses and fungus.

Moxi LP Eye Drops 5 ml contains two medicines, namely: Moxifloxacin (antibiotic) and Loteprednol etabonate (corticosteroid). Moxifloxacin belongs to a class of drugs called fluoroquinolone antibiotics that helps in treating and preventing a wide range of bacterial infections. It kills bacteria (bactericidal action) by preventing the synthesis of enzymes, namely DNA gyrase and Topoisomerase II and IV, which is essential for the growth and survival of the bacterial cell. Loteprednol etabonate belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks prostaglandins' production (chemical messengers) that make the eye red, swollen, and itchy. Together, Moxi LP Eye Drops 5 ml prevents the spread of eye infections caused by bacteria, and also reduces inflammation and pain.

Moxi LP Eye Drops 5 ml is for ophthalmic use only. Your doctor will advise on how often you need to use Moxi LP Eye Drops 5 ml based on your medical condition. Some common side effects of Moxi LP Eye Drops 5 ml include redness in the eyes, blurred vision, burning or stinging sensation in the eye, and eye discomfort. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, you are advised to consult your doctor if you experience any of the side effects persistently.

Please do not use Moxi LP Eye Drops 5 ml without consulting your doctor if you have damaged cornea, ulcers in the eye, eye infection, pus, open lesions in the eye, and glaucoma (a condition where the pressure inside the eye is increased). Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using Moxi LP Eye Drops 5 ml. Avoid touching the eyedropper with bare hands or to the eyelids while administering drops, since it contaminates the dropper tip and solution. If you wear contact lenses, please inform your doctor since Moxi LP Eye Drops 5 ml may contain additives like Benzalkonium chloride that change the colour. Moxi LP Eye Drops 5 ml sometimes may make your eye red after administration; in such cases, please avoid wearing a lens until the eye becomes better. Moxi LP Eye Drops 5 ml might temporarily blur your vision, so avoid driving, or operating machines until your vision is clear.

Medicinal Benefits

Moxi LP Eye Drops 5 ml contains Moxifloxacin and Loteprednol etabonate. Moxifloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that acts against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It kills bacteria (bactericidal action) by preventing the synthesis of enzymes, namely DNA gyrase and Topoisomerase II and IV, which is essential for the growth and survival of the bacterial cell. Loteprednol etabonate is a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties and acts by inhibiting the chemicals such as prostaglandins production (chemical messengers) that make the eye red, swollen, and itchy. It reduces symptoms associated with infection such as redness and irritation of the eye and decreases the risk of infections. Collectively, Moxi LP Eye Drops 5 ml treats and prevents bacterial eye infections and eye inflammation caused by allergies, shingles, iritis (inflammation of the coloured part of the eye (iris), uveitis (inflammation of the middle layer of the eye (uvea), eye injury, radiation, and chemical burns.
