What is Mosi 5 ml
Mosi 5 ml Eye Drops is a topical antibiotic eye infection medicine used in the treatment of bacterial eye infections. It contains Moxifloxacin 0.5% (w/v), an FDA-approved Fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It is manufactured by FDC Ltd. in GMP-certified facilities.
As a fourth-generation antibiotic, Moxifloxacin blocks bacterial enzymes responsible for DNA replication. This action prevents bacteria from multiplying and repairing themselves, leading to bacterial cell death. It is thus prescribed for the treatment of Bacterial Conjunctivitis and Bacterial Keratitis.
The usual Mosi 5 ml dosage is 1 drop 3 times daily, or as advised by an ophthalmologist. If you forget a dose, apply it when you remember, unless it's close to the next dose. If you accidentally instill more eye drops than prescribed, rinse your eyes and proceed with the next scheduled dose.
Temporary eye burning, irritation, redness, or blurred vision may occur after use. These side effects are usually mild and short-lasting. Discontinue the drops and consult your doctor if you notice severe pain, swelling, or vision changes.
Mosi eye drops are not recommended for newborns and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Patients with a history of Fluoroquinolone allergy should avoid this medicine. Contact lens wearers should not wear them during treatment.
Store Mosi 5 ml below 30°C in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Use within 4 weeks of opening; discard remaining solution thereafter. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of reach of children.
