Predmox 0.5/1 % Eye Drops 5 ML are applied topically.

Predmox 0.5/1 % Eye Drops 5 ML is a combination of two active ingredients:

• Moxifloxacin (0.5 %): This antibiotic belongs to a group of medicines known as fluoroquinolones. It works by inhibiting enzymes called DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV in bacteria. These enzymes are essential for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. By blocking these enzymes, moxifloxacin prevents the multiplication and growth of bacteria.

• Prednisolone (1 %): This corticosteroid helps to reduce inflammation in your eyes by blocking the production of inflammatory substances like prostaglandins and leukotrienes. It does this by promoting the synthesis of a protein called lipocortin, which inhibits phospholipase A2, an enzyme that triggers inflammation.

• Keep Predmox 0.5/1 % Eye Drops 5 ML at room temperature.

• Avoid direct exposure to light, heat, and moisture.

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

• Always place the drops out of reach of children.

• Ensure you use the eye drops before the expiry date printed on the label.

• If you're dealing with an eye infection, try to increase your intake of Vitamin A-rich foods like carrots, spinach, or sweet potatoes. Vitamin A boosts eye health and may aid recovery.

• Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes frequently. This can aggravate the infection and make symptoms worse. Regular hand washing can also prevent further bacterial spread.
