Mahaflox-LP Eye Drops are instilled topically.

Mahaflox-LP Eye Drops contains three active ingredients:

• Moxifloxacin (0.5%): This antibiotic falls under the fluoroquinolone class. It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes which are crucial for bacterial cell division and replication. As a result, it disrupts bacterial DNA synthesis leading to cell death. Moxifloxacin effectively combats various gram-positive and gram-negative ocular pathogens.

• Loteprednol Etabonate (0.5%): This is a corticosteroid which exerts anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins that cause inflammation. This helps relieve symptoms such as redness, swelling and itching of the eyes.

• Benzalkonium chloride: It is used to prevent bacterial growth and contamination. It is a quaternary ammonium compound that is effective against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi

• Keep Mahaflox-LP Eye Drops at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Shield the product from light exposure.

• Ensure the bottle is tightly closed when not in use.

• Don't use the drops if they appear cloudy or have any visible particles.

• Keep them out of reach and sight of children.

• If you are dealing with redness, swelling, or itching of the eyes, try to avoid environments with dust or other allergens that can exacerbate your symptoms.

• To support eye health, include foods rich in vitamin A like carrots, spinach, and sweet potatoes in your diet. This nutrient helps protect your eyes and may boost your body's natural defences against eye infections.
