Bromfenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicine (NSAID). It works by blocking the action of cyclooxygenase enzymes, which are involved in producing substances called prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation in the eye. By inhibiting this process, Bromfenac reduces these inflammatory symptoms.
Moxifloxacin is a fourth-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It acts by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes. These enzymes are crucial for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. By disrupting these processes, Moxifloxacin halts bacterial growth and reproduction, thereby eliminating the bacteria causing the eye infection. Thus, this combination medicine manages post-operative eye issues by providing both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.
