What Eyemox Contains

Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride – 5 mg (0.5%)

A broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic effective against:

• Gram-positive bacteria
• Gram-negative bacteria

Moxifloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for bacterial replication.

• Keratitis (bacterial)

How Moxifloxacin Works

Moxifloxacin kills bacteria by:

• Preventing DNA replication
• Blocking bacterial repair mechanisms
• Rapidly reducing bacterial load

Because it is bactericidal and highly potent, it works quickly and covers resistant strains.
