Furquin Eye Gel

Furquin Eye Gel is an antibiotic ocular medication used to treat bacterial infections in the eye.

Ingredients

• Active Ingredient: Moxifloxacin (0.5% w/v)
• Drug Class: Fluoroquinolone antibiotic

Primary Uses

• Bacterial Conjunctivitis: Treats “pink eye” and superficial bacterial infections of the eye.
• Corneal Ulcers: Used to manage bacterial infections on the cornea.
• Discharge & Tearing: Relieves frequent eye discharge, redness, and irritation.
• Post-Operative Care: Helps prevent or manage bacterial complications after eye surgeries.
• Veterinary Use: Commonly prescribed for dogs and cats suffering from ocular infections.

How It Works

Moxifloxacin acts as a bactericidal agent. It stops bacteria from dividing and multiplying by inhibiting essential bacterial enzymes called DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, ultimately destroying the infection-causing microorganisms. The gel formulation is specifically designed to stay in the eye longer, allowing for deeper penetration and sustained therapeutic action.

How to Use & Precautions

• Application: Wash your hands thoroughly, gently pull down the lower eyelid to create a pocket, and squeeze the gel inside without letting the tip touch your eye.
• Contact Lenses: Do not wear contact lenses while dealing with a bacterial eye infection.
• Side Effects: May cause a temporary burning sensation, dry eyes, mild irritation, or short-term blurred vision right after application.

Dosage:- Always consult your veterinarian before giving your pet any medications, supplements, or new foods.
