INQUIRE ABOUT Moxifloxacin And Dexamethasone Phosphate

Moxifloxacin + Dexamethasone Phosphate Combination

This is a combination eye drop or eye ointment that contains:

  • Moxifloxacin – a strong antibiotic

  • Dexamethasone Phosphate – a corticosteroid

It is used for bacterial eye infections with significant inflammation or for post-surgical care where both infection prevention and inflammation control are needed.

Components and Their Roles

  1. Moxifloxacin

    • Type: Fluoroquinolone antibiotic

    • Action: Kills bacteria by blocking their ability to replicate DNA.

    • Purpose: Treats or prevents bacterial infections such as conjunctivitis, keratitis, or endophthalmitis.

  2. Dexamethasone Phosphate

    • Type: Corticosteroid (water-soluble form of dexamethasone)

    • Action: Reduces inflammation, swelling, redness, and pain.

    • Purpose: Controls irritation, prevents scarring, and improves comfort during recovery.

Common Uses

  • Bacterial conjunctivitis with strong inflammation

  • Keratitis or corneal ulcers with swelling

  • Post-cataract surgery or other eye surgeries to prevent infection and reduce inflammation

  • Severe ocular surface infections that need both antibiotic and anti-inflammatory treatment

Advantages

  • Broad-spectrum antibiotic + strong steroid in one preparation

  • Effective for both infection control and symptom relief

  • Convenient single medication improves compliance compared to using separate drops

Possible Side Effects

From Moxifloxacin:

  • Temporary eye irritation or stinging

  • Rare allergic reaction

  • White deposits on the cornea (rare)

From Dexamethasone Phosphate:

  • May raise intraocular pressure (risk of glaucoma with long-term use)

  • May delay wound healing

  • Can worsen viral or fungal eye infections if misused

Precautions

  • Use only as directed by an eye specialist — steroid-containing eye drops must be carefully monitored.

  • Avoid prolonged use unless necessary and monitored (risk of glaucoma or cataracts).

  • Not for viral (e.g., herpes simplex) or fungal eye infections.

  • Wash hands before application and avoid touching the dropper tip.
