Vigoquin-Kt Eye Drop treats and prevents bacterial eye infections and itchy eyes caused by seasonal allergies. It also relieves swelling, pain, and burning or stinging sensation after cataract surgery or corneal refractive surgery. It contains two medicines, namely: Ketorolac (NSAID) and Moxifloxacin (antibiotic). Ketorolac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking chemical messengers called 'prostaglandins' in your body to reduce pain and swelling. Moxifloxacin is a quinolone antibiotic. It is bactericidal (kills bacteria) and works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme required for the replication, transcription, and repair of the DNA.
