Benzalkonium Chloride + Dexamethasone + Moxifloxacin is an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory combination used in ophthalmic solutions to manage bacterial eye infections.
Moxifloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, works by blocking two enzymes – DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV – necessary for bacterial DNA replication, thus preventing bacterial growth and leading to their death.
Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, works by suppressing the release of inflammation-inducing substances like prostaglandins, consequently reducing inflammation and discomfort in the eyes.
Benzalkonium Chloride acts as an antiseptic and antimicrobial preservative. It disrupts the bacterial cell membranes, causing leakage of cell contents and death of the cells. As a preservative, it also prevents the eye drops from being contaminated by microbes.
