Floxalone-DX Eye Drop 0.5%+0.1% is a combination ophthalmic solution containing Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride and Dexamethasone, formulated to provide both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. This dual-action eye drop is designed to treat bacterial infections of the eye while reducing associated inflammation, redness, swelling, and discomfort. By combining a broad-spectrum antibiotic with a potent corticosteroid, Floxalone-DX addresses both the cause of infection and the inflammatory response that often accompanies ocular infections.

Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes crucial for bacterial DNA replication and repair. This leads to effective eradication of susceptible bacteria, preventing the progression of eye infections such as bacterial conjunctivitis, keratitis, and post-surgical infections.

Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that suppresses inflammation by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators and reducing immune response in the affected tissues. Its inclusion helps relieve symptoms like pain, swelling, redness, and irritation, promoting faster recovery and patient comfort.
