Moxiford Eye Drops 5Ml

Moxiford Eye Drops are used in the treatment of bacterial eye infections, primarily conjunctivitis ("pink eye"), and other inflammation-related eye problems. This medicine contains Moxifloxacin, an antibiotic belonging to the fluoroquinolone class. It works by killing the harmful bacteria responsible for the infection, which in turn reduces associated symptoms like redness, swelling, and irritation, and promotes faster healing of the eye.

Moxiford Eye Drops contain the following active ingredients: 

• Moxifloxacin (0.5%): As a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, moxifloxacin works by inhibiting two enzymes in your body - DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. These enzymes are key in helping bacteria replicate their DNA and divide into new cells. By blocking these enzymes, moxifloxacin effectively hampers bacterial growth and multiplication.
• Benzalkonium Chloride (0.02%): This component acts as an antimicrobial preservative in the formulation of the eye drops. It prevents the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms, thereby ensuring that the product remains sterile during use. In addition to its preservative role, benzalkonium chloride also possesses some bactericidal and fungicidal properties which contribute to its effectiveness against certain bacterial infections.
