Mahaflox eye drop contains Moxifloxacin (0.5%) which is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It acts by:

• Inhibiting the bacterial enzymes namely, Topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase) and Topoisomerase IV.
• The inhibition of DNA gyrase prevents the multiplication of bacteria and prevents them from repairing themselves from the damage caused by this medicine. This leads to rapid fall in the bacterial counts and treatment of conjunctivitis.
• The inhibition of Topoisomerase IV leads to prevention of bacterial cell division and stops their growth.

• The bottle should be kept upright and at room temperature.
• Keep the bottle away from heat and direct sunlight.
• Refrain from keeping the eye drops in the refrigerator.
• When not in use, make sure the bottle is tightly closed.
