Moxiford Eye Ointment 5gm contains moxifloxacin (0.5%), which works on your body in the following ways:

• Enzyme Inhibition: Moxifloxacin blocks the action of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes in bacterial cells. These enzymes play a vital role in bacterial DNA's replication, transcription, repair, and recombination processes.

• Disrupts bacterial DNA synthesis: By blocking these key enzymes' activity, Moxifloxacin effectively interferes with bacterial DNA synthesis, resulting in the death of bacterial cells.

• Store Moxiford Eye Ointment 5gm at room temperature, ideally between 15°C to 25°C.
