About Moxiquin-DX Eye Drops

Moxiquin-DX Eye Drops belongs to the class of antibiotic medications used to treat bacterial eye infections. It treats eye infections like conjunctivitis (infected conjunctiva) and other inflammatory conditions after eye surgery. Bacterial eye infection occurs when harmful bacteria invade any part of the eye, such as the eyeball, conjunctiva, or cornea. Symptoms of an infection include red eye, pain, discharge, watery/dry eyes, swelling, itching, and sensitivity to light. 

Moxiquin-DX Eye Drops combines two medicines: Moxifloxacin (antibiotic) and Dexamethasone phosphate (steroid). Moxifloxacin is an antibiotic that stops bacterial replication, thereby killing and controlling the growth of bacterial infection. Dexamethasone phosphate is a steroid that reduces inflammation and symptoms associated with infection, such as redness and irritation, by inhibiting prostaglandins that cause inflammation. Thus together, Moxiquin-DX Eye Drops treats bacterial eye infections.
