Description
Can Eye Moxi (Moxifloxacin) is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic prescribed to treat bacterial eye infections. It works by destroying bacteria that cause conditions like pink eye and corneal ulcers, while also being used to prevent infections after eye surgery or injury.
Key Ingredients
Depending on the specific formulation, the active and inactive ingredients generally include:
- Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride: Typically 0.5% w/v (or 5 mg). The primary antibiotic that stops bacteria from multiplying.
- Benzalkonium Chloride (BAK): Often 0.02% v/v. Acts as a preservative to prevent the growth of bacteria inside the bottle.
- Sterile Aqueous Base: A sterile solution or purified water to complete the formulation.
Primary Uses
Can Eye Moxi is specifically formulated to combat bacterial infections. Its primary uses include:
- Bacterial Conjunctivitis: Also known as pink eye, treating symptoms like redness, itching, and discharge.
- Corneal Ulcers: Helps heal open sores on the clear front surface of the eye.
- Post-Surgery or Injury Care: Routinely prescribed by ophthalmologists and veterinarians to prevent bacterial infections before or after procedures (such as cataract surgery).
- Note: It does not treat viral or fungal eye infections.
How to Use
- Application: Drops are usually instilled directly into the affected eye(s), typically 3 times daily for 7 days (or as directed by a doctor/veterinarian).
- Contact Lenses: Avoid wearing contact lenses while undergoing treatment.
- Hygiene: Do not touch the tip of the dropper to your eye, fingers, or any surface to prevent contamination.
