Floxoptho DX Eye Drops

Description

Therapy/Class: Antibiotic + Corticosteroid

Mechanism of Action:

Moxifloxacin: An 8-methoxy advanced generation fluoroquinolone that optimally inhibits both Topoisomerase II and Topoisomerase IV. The methoxy group at the C-8 position minimizes the selection of resistant mutants and broadens coverage against atypical, Gram-positive, and Gram-negative organisms in ocular infections.

Dexamethasone: A highly efficacious, long-acting synthetic glucocorticoid that rapidly permeates the corneal epithelium to suppress cellular exudation, capillary permeability, and fibroblastic proliferation. It achieves potent suppression of the immune response by inhibiting the transcription of pro-inflammatory genes.
