About Maxim L Eye Drop 5 ml

Maxim L Eye Drop 5 ml 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). Maxim L Eye Drop 5 ml is used to prevent or treat only bacterial eye infections. It does not work against infections caused by viruses and fungi.

Maxim L Eye Drop 5 ml contains two medicines: Moxifloxacin (antibiotic) and Loteprednol (corticosteroid). Moxifloxacin belongs to a class of drugs called fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Moxifloxacin is an antibiotic that helps treat and prevent 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), making the eye red, swollen, and itchy. Together, Maxim L Eye Drop 5 ml prevents the spread of eye infections caused by bacteria and reduces inflammation and pain.

Maxim L Eye Drop 5 ml is available in the form of an ophthalmic solution (eye drops). Your doctor will advise on how often you take Maxim L Eye Drop 5 ml based on your medical condition. Some common side effects of eye drop formulation of Maxim L Eye Drop 5 ml include redness in the eyes, blurred vision, burning or stinging sensation in the eye, and eye discomfort. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.

Please do not use Maxim L Eye Drop 5 ml without consulting your doctor if you have a damaged cornea, ulcers in the eye, eye infection and producing pus, open lesions in the eye, and glaucoma (a condition where the pressure inside the eye is increased). Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using Maxim L Eye Drop 5 ml. Avoid touching the eyedropper with bare hands or taking it closer to the eyelids while administering drops since it contaminates the dropper tip and solution. If you wear contact lenses, please inform your doctor since the Maxim L Eye Drop 5 ml may contain additives like Benzalkonium chloride that change the lens's colour. Maxim L Eye Drop 5 ml sometimes may make your eye red after administration; in such cases, please avoid wearing a lens until the eye improves. Avoid driving or operating machines since the administration of eye drops of Maxim L Eye Drop 5 ml cause blurred vision for a while after use.

Uses of Maxim L Eye Drop 5 ml

Medicinal Benefits

Maxim L Eye Drop 5 ml is a combination of two medicines: 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, Maxim L Eye Drop 5 ml 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. Maxim L Eye Drop 5 ml is used to prevent or treat only bacterial eye infections. It does not work against infections caused by viruses and fungi.
