About Moxlon Eye Drop

Moxlon Eye Drop belongs to the class of medications called ‘antibacterial’ primarily taken to treat various bacterial eye infections. Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick.

Moxlon Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines: Moxifloxacin and Prednisolone. Moxifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that stops bacteria from making a copy of their genetic material (DNA), thereby killing and stopping bacterial infection growth. Thus together, Moxlon Eye Drop treats the infection effectively. On the other side, Prednisolone is a steroid drug that works by lowering the immune system's activity, which in turn reduces inflammation and swelling. Both medications in combination, treat bacterial infections.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Probiotics should be taken after taking the full course of Moxlon Eye Drop to restore some of the healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut, kombucha, and kimchi can restore the good bacteria of the intestine. 
  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread, brown rice should be included in your diet. 
  • Avoid taking too much calcium, iron-enriched foods, and drinks as it might affect the working of Moxlon Eye Drop. 
  • Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with Moxlon Eye Drop as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the Moxlon Eye Drop in fighting off infections.
