About Moxiblu LX Eye Drop

MOXIBLU LX EYE DROPS 5ML 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 effectively used to treat eye inflammation caused by allergies, shingles, severe acne, 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). MOXIBLU LX EYE DROPS 5ML is used to prevent or treat only bacterial eye infections. It does not work against infections caused by viruses and fungus.

MOXIBLU LX EYE DROPS 5ML contains two medicines, namely: Moxifloxacin (antibiotic) and Loteprednol (corticosteroid). Moxifloxacin belongs to a class of drugs called fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Moxifloxacin is an antibiotic, which 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 belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks prostaglandins’ production (chemical messengers) that make the eye red, swollen, and itchy. Together, MOXIBLU LX EYE DROPS 5ML prevents the spread of eye infections caused by bacteria, also reduces inflammation and pain.

MOXIBLU LX EYE DROPS 5ML is available in the form of an ophthalmic solution (eye drops). Your doctor will advise on how often you take MOXIBLU LX EYE DROPS 5ML based on your medical condition.

Medicinal Benefits

MOXIBLU LX EYE DROPS 5ML is a combination of two medicines, namely; Moxifloxacin and Loteprednol. Moxifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone and broad-spectrum antibiotic. It can act 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 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, MOXIBLU LX EYE DROPS 5ML treats and prevents bacterial eye infections and eye inflammation caused by allergies, shingles, severe acne, 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.
