How Benzalkonium Chloride + Loteprednol + Moxifloxacin works

  • Benzalkonium Chloride + Loteprednol + Moxifloxacin is a combination medicine for eye infections and inflammation.

  • Benzalkonium Chloride, a quaternary ammonium compound, acts as a preservative. It destroys bacteria by disrupting their cell membranes, causing the cell contents to leak out, leading to cell death.

  • Loteprednol is a corticosteroid. It attaches to specific receptors inside cells and suppresses inflammation by blocking the release of substances that cause inflammation.

  • Moxifloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, helps in combating bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting enzymes necessary for bacterial DNA replication, disrupting the bacteria's life cycle and leading to cell death.
