What is Moxluv Eye Drop
Moxluv Eye Drop is a prescription antibiotic for treating bacterial eye infections like Conjunctivitis or Pink Eye, and other external ocular infections. It contains Moxifloxacin (0.5%), a Fluoroquinolone broad-spectrum ophthalmic antibiotic that helps eliminate infection-causing bacteria. The product is manufactured under GMP and WHO-certified standards by Akumentis Healthcare Limited to ensure quality and safety.
Moxifloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes required for bacterial replication and repair. By blocking these enzymes, it stops bacterial growth and clears the infection. This helps reduce redness, swelling, discharge, and irritation associated with bacterial eye conditions.
Doctors usually prescribe one drop in the affected eye 2 to 3 times daily. Always remember to wash your hands before and after application. Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface to prevent contamination. Complete the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve earlier.
If you have missed a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is close to the next scheduled time. Do not double the dose. In case of accidental overuse, rinse the eye gently with clean water and seek medical advice if discomfort persists.
Common side effects include mild burning, stinging, watery eyes, or temporary blurred vision. Seek immediate medical attention if severe pain, swelling, or vision changes occur. Avoid contact lenses during treatment. Store at room temperature away from sunlight. Moxifloxacin ophthalmic solution is FDA-approved.

Safety Advice
Liver disease
Since it is applied topically in the eye, systemic absorption is very low. It is generally safe for patients with liver disease, but those with severe liver conditions should consult a doctor before use.
Kidney impairment
Due to minimal systemic exposure, dose adjustment is usually not required. However, patients with serious kidney disorders should seek medical advice before starting treatment.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women
Use of Moxluv during pregnancy or breastfeeding has no adverse effects; however, use only if clearly prescribed by a healthcare professional. Inform your doctor about your pregnancy or nursing status before starting the medication.
Avoid
Avoid using other eye medications without medical guidance. Do not wear contact lenses during active infection. Avoid alcohol misuse, as excessive alcohol may weaken immunity and delay recovery. Do not use if the seal is broken, the solution changes color, or the expiry date has passed.
FAQs
Can Moxluv Eye Drop be used for a stye?
Yes, Moxluv can be prescribed if a stye is caused by a bacterial infection. However, not all styes require antibiotic treatment. A proper eye examination helps determine whether this medication is suitable. Avoid self-medicating and visit a doctor for a correct diagnosis and treatment guidance.
How soon can I resume wearing contact lenses after treatment?
You can resume use of contact lenses only after the infection has completely cleared, and your doctor confirms it is safe. Wearing lenses too early may reintroduce bacteria, delay healing, or cause irritation and discomfort.
