Pharmacology
Moxifloxacin exerts its antimicrobial effects by inhibiting two essential enzymes: topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase) and topoisomerase IV. DNA gyrase is crucial for the replication, transcription, and repair of bacterial DNA, while topoisomerase IV plays a significant role in the separation of chromosomal DNA during bacterial cell division.
Dosage & Administration
Administer one drop in the affected eye(s) twice daily for a duration of seven days.
Follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations regarding this medication.

Pregnancy & Lactation
Moxifloxacin should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefits outweigh any risks to the fetus, as adequate studies in pregnant women are lacking. While Moxifloxacin has not been measured in human breast milk, it is presumed to be excreted. Caution is advised when administering this medication to breastfeeding mothers.
Precautions & Warnings
Extended use of Moxifloxacin may lead to the overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms, including fungi, when combined with other anti-infectives.
Use in Special Populations
- Pediatric Use: The safety and efficacy of Moxifloxacin in infants under four months have not been established. However, clinical studies suggest its safe use in children younger than one month.
- Geriatric Use: No significant differences in safety and efficacy have been noted between elderly and younger patients.
Overdose Effects
The risk of adverse effects from accidental ingestion is minimal, as a 5 ml bottle of this eye drop solution contains only 25 mg of Moxifloxacin, which is significantly lower than the recommended daily oral dosage.
