Moxiblu LX Eye Drop BKC Free

Introduction

Moxiblu LX BKC Free is a prescription medication that contains two active ingredients: Loteprednol etabonate and Moxifloxacin. It is commonly used in the treatment of eye conditions such as inflammation, redness, and discomfort.

Uses

Moxiblu LX BKC Free is primarily prescribed for the management of postoperative inflammation and pain following ocular surgery. It is also effective in treating eye conditions associated with inflammation, such as conjunctivitis, keratitis, and uveitis.

Dosage and Administration

Dosing Instructions: The recommended dosage for Moxiblu LX BKC Free is usually one to two drops in the affected eye(s) four times a day. However, the exact dosage may vary based on the severity of the condition and the individual patient’s response to treatment. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional.

Administration: Before using the eye drops, wash your hands thoroughly. Tilt your head back and gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Squeeze the prescribed number of drops into the pocket, being careful not to touch the dropper tip to any surface, including your eye. Close your eyes gently and apply gentle pressure to the inner corner of your eye for about one minute to prevent the medication from draining out. If you are using other eye drops or ointments, wait at least 5 minutes before applying them.

Mechanism of Action

Moxiblu LX BKC Free contains two active ingredients: Loteprednol etabonate and Moxifloxacin. Loteprednol etabonate belongs to a class of medications called corticosteroids, which work by reducing inflammation in the eye. Moxifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits the growth of bacteria, thereby preventing infections in the eye. Together, these ingredients provide a dual-action approach to effectively manage inflammation and prevent infection.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include temporary stinging or burning sensation in the eyes, blurred vision, and increased sensitivity to light. These side effects are usually mild and temporary, but if they persist or worsen, consult your healthcare professional.

Serious side effects are rare but may include severe eye pain, vision changes, eye discharge, or signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, itching, or swelling. If you experience any of these serious side effects, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

Moxiblu LX BKC Free may interact with certain medications, including other eye drops or ointments. Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, that you are currently taking. They can provide guidance on potential drug interactions and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

Precautions

Before using Moxiblu LX BKC Free, inform your healthcare professional if you have any allergies, especially to corticosteroids or fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Also, disclose any history of eye infections, glaucoma, or cataracts, as these conditions may require special monitoring or adjustments to the treatment plan.

Avoid touching the tip of the dropper to any surface, including your eye, to prevent contamination. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the eye drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.

Storage

Moxiblu LX BKC Free should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use to protect it from moisture. Do not freeze the medication. Make sure to keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
