Myticom 5 ml contains Moxifloxacin (0.5% w/v), a fourth-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic, and Dexamethasone (0.1% w/v), a potent corticosteroid. It is a combination medication that treats bacterial eye infections accompanied by inflammation, including Conjunctivitis, postoperative eye inflammation, and other eye infections. Allergan India manufactures the eye drops in GMP-compliant facilities.
This combination therapy works through dual mechanisms. Moxifloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that kills bacteria by inhibiting DNA replication and repair, effectively targeting both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. Dexamethasone is a powerful corticosteroid that reduces eye redness, swelling, and discomfort by suppressing inflammatory responses and immune mediators. This combination treats the infection while controlling associated inflammation.
The typical Myticom dosage is 1 drop in the affected eye(s) 3 times daily or as prescribed by your ophthalmologist. Treatment duration usually ranges from 5 to 10 days, depending on severity and response. Common side effects include temporary eye discomfort, blurred vision, altered taste sensation, eye irritation, and increased intraocular pressure with extended use.
Before using Myticom, inform your doctor about any viral or fungal eye infections, Glaucoma, cataracts, or allergies to fluoroquinolones or corticosteroids. This medication should not be used for viral infections or prolonged periods without supervision.
Contact lens wearers should remove lenses before application. Store Myticom 5 ml in a dry place at room temperature (below 25°C). Ensure the bottle is tightly closed, and store it out of reach of children. Once opened, use within 4 weeks.
Myticom provides important therapeutic benefits for patients with bacterial eye infections and inflammation:
Myticom is a prescription eye drop medication that should be used as directed by a healthcare professional. Here are the general guidelines:
Myticom is currently available in only a single-strength option. However, you can try the following alternatives available at Cheap Medicine Shop:
| Apdrops DM 5 ml | $5.76/eye drop |
| Moxiblu D 10 ml | $3.70/eye drop |
Like any medication, Myticom may cause some mild and temporary side effects that resolve as the body adjusts to the medicine. However, consult a healthcare professional if they persist or worsen:
Liver Disease
Patients with liver disease can generally use Myticom 5 ml safely, as topical ophthalmic application results in minimal systemic absorption. However, inform the healthcare provider of any liver conditions to ensure appropriate monitoring, especially with extended use.
Kidney Impairment
Myticom can be used in patients with kidney impairment without specific dosage adjustments, as the medication is applied topically with minimal systemic absorption. However, inform the ophthalmologist about any kidney problems before use for safety.
Pregnant and Breastfeeding women
Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use Myticom 5 ml only under strict medical supervision. While topical application minimizes systemic absorption, both fluoroquinolones and corticosteroids require careful consideration. Discuss safety with a healthcare provider.
Avoid
Avoid using Myticom 5 ml for viral eye infections, as corticosteroids can worsen viral conditions. Do not use it for fungal eye infections or Tuberculosis of the eye. Patients with Glaucoma should use it with extreme caution due to the risk of increased intraocular pressure. Avoid prolonged use beyond the prescribed duration. Patients allergic to fluoroquinolones or corticosteroids should not use this medication.
No, Myticom 5 ml is specifically for bacterial eye infections with inflammation. It should not be used for viral, fungal, or parasitic eye infections. The corticosteroid component can worsen non-bacterial infections. Always consult your ophthalmologist for proper diagnosis before use.
Myticom 5 ml typically begins providing relief within 24 to 48 hours of starting treatment. You should notice improvement in symptoms like redness, pain, and discharge within this timeframe. However, complete the full prescribed course, usually 5 to 10 days, to ensure complete bacterial eradication.
Yes, prolonged use of Myticom 5 ml can increase intraocular pressure due to the corticosteroid component. This is why it should not be used for extended periods without monitoring. Patients with Glaucoma or a family history of Glaucoma should inform their ophthalmologist before use.
No, you should complete the full prescribed course of Myticom 5 ml even if symptoms improve earlier. Stopping treatment prematurely can lead to incomplete bacterial eradication, recurrence of infection, and development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
If you experience severe eye pain, sudden vision changes, increasing redness, or signs of allergic reaction while using Myticom 5 ml, stop using the medication immediately and contact your ophthalmologist or seek emergency medical attention.
Some people experience an altered or unusual taste sensation after using Myticom due to drainage of the eye drops through the tear ducts into the throat. This is temporary and harmless. To minimize this, gently press on the inner corner of your eye for 1-2 minutes after application.
Myticom can often be used with other eye medications if prescribed, but wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between applying different eye drops to ensure proper absorption. Always inform your ophthalmologist about all medications you are using to prevent potential interactions.
