About Unimox Eye Drop 5 ml
Unimox Eye Drop 5 ml is used to treat bacterial eye infections. 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).
Unimox Eye Drop 5 ml contains Moxifloxacin, which works by blocking bacteria's ability to copy their genetic material (DNA), preventing them from reproducing and ultimately killing them.
Unimox Eye Drop 5 ml may cause 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. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
