What is Mosi 5 gm
Mosi 5 gm Eye Ointment is a topical antibiotic used in the treatment of bacterial eye infections. It contains Moxifloxacin 0.5% (w/w), an FDA-approved fourth-generation Fluoroquinolone antibiotic. This ophthalmic ointment is manufactured by FDC Ltd in GMP-certified facilities and is available in a 5 gm tube.
Moxifloxacin blocks bacterial DNA replication enzymes, preventing bacteria from multiplying and repairing themselves. As a broad-spectrum ophthalmic antibacterial, it is effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Thus, Mosi eye ointment is used to treat Bacterial Conjunctivitis and Bacterial Keratitis. It may also be prescribed after eye procedures to reduce the risk of bacterial infection.
Apply a small ribbon of Mosi 5 gm ointment inside the lower eyelid 2 to 3 times daily, or as directed by an ophthalmologist. Nighttime application is often recommended due to longer contact time. If you forget a dose, skip it and apply at the next scheduled time.
Temporary stinging, blurred vision, mild discomfort, or irritation may occur after use. These side effects are usually short-lasting. But discontinue use and consult a doctor if symptoms worsen or if severe pain, swelling, or vision changes occur.
Avoid Mosi ointment if you have previously experienced allergic reactions to Moxifloxacin or other quinolones. Since the safety and effectiveness in children under 1 year have not been established, its use in children requires medical supervision. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before use.
Store Mosi 5 gm below 30°C in a cool, dark place. Keep the tube tightly closed and out of reach of children. Use within 4 weeks of opening; discard any remaining solution.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women
Due to limited safety data, Mosi 5 gm ointment should be used with caution during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Consult your healthcare professional before use.
