Description
Moxifloxacin & Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate Ophthalmic Solution is a combination eye drop medication used to treat infections and inflammation in the eye. It combines two active ingredients—Moxifloxacin, an antibiotic, and Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate, a corticosteroid—to address both bacterial eye infections and inflammation.
Moxifloxacin (0.5%):
- An antibiotic in the fluoroquinolone class.
- It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA synthesis, thereby preventing the growth and spread of bacteria.
-
Effective against a broad range of bacterial eye infections, including conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers.
Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate (0.1%):
- A potent anti-inflammatory corticosteroid.
- Reduces swelling, redness, and irritation in the eye by suppressing inflammation and immune responses.

Helps manage inflammation caused by infections, injuries, or surgery.
Indications:
- Bacterial Conjunctivitis: Moxifloxacin treats the bacterial infection while Dexamethasone reduces inflammation.
