Bromfenac 0.09% w/v and Moxifloxacin 0.5% w/v Eye Drops Uses
This combination eye drop is used to treat and manage post-operative ocular inflammation and to prevent or treat eye infections after eye surgery, such as cataract surgery. It combines a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and an antibiotic to address both inflammation and potential bacterial infection. It is also used in certain cases of external eye infections with inflammation. Always follow your doctor's prescription for the specific condition being treated.
How Bromfenac 0.09% w/v and Moxifloxacin 0.5% w/v Eye Drops works
Bromfenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the action of certain natural substances in the body (prostaglandins) that cause inflammation, pain, and swelling. Moxifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that stops the growth of bacteria by interfering with their DNA replication, thereby preventing and treating bacterial infections. Together, they provide dual action: reducing inflammation and fighting infection, which is crucial after eye surgeries.
