Mahaflox KT Eye Drops 5ml is a prescription eye medication containing two active ingredients: Moxifloxacin (0.5% w/v) and Ketorolac Tromethamine (0.4% w/v). Moxifloxacin helps treat bacterial eye infections while Ketorolac Tromethamine helps reduce pain and inflammation of your eyes.
Clinical Uses
Mahaflox KT Eye Drops are used to treat bacterial eye infections, such as conjunctivitis (pink eye) and other external eye infections. They help relieve symptoms such as pain, redness, swelling, itching, burning, and irritation. These eye drops may also be prescribed to reduce eye pain and inflammation following eye surgeries, such as cataract surgery.
How It Works
Mahaflox KT Eye Drops work through the combined action of two active ingredients. Moxifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that blocks enzymes needed for bacterial DNA replication thereby preventing bacteria from growing and multiplying.
Ketorolac Tromethamine is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces the production of prostaglandins which contribute to pain, redness, and inflammation. These ingredients work together to help control bacterial infections and relieve eye inflammation and discomfort.
