Product Price: MRP : 110
MOXITHICS is
a Moxifloxacin 0.5% and Dexamethasone
0.1% drop formulation. Moxifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone
antibacterial and Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory
activity. This combination should be used only for approved indications and
under healthcare professional supervision.
Moxifloxacin inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and
topoisomerase IV, while Dexamethasone suppresses inflammatory responses.
Because corticosteroids can mask or worsen some infections and prolonged use
can cause important local adverse effects, diagnosis, duration and monitoring
are especially important.
Each approved measured quantity
contains:
·
Moxifloxacin - 0.5%
·
Dexamethasone - 0.1%
·
Drop vehicle / excipients - q.s. Exact salt
form, preservative system, route-specific specifications and complete excipient
details must be verified from the current approved product label.
Dosage form: Drop
Uses of MOXITHICS
MOXITHICS may
be prescribed for selected bacterial infections accompanied by inflammation
where a Moxifloxacin + Dexamethasone combination is specifically approved and
clinically appropriate.
·
Moxifloxacin provides antibacterial activity
against susceptible bacteria
·
Dexamethasone helps reduce inflammation,
redness and related inflammatory symptoms
·
The combination should be used only when both
antibacterial and corticosteroid components are clinically justified
·
It should not be used indiscriminately for
viral, fungal or undiagnosed infections
How MOXITHICS
Works
MOXITHICS combines antibacterial and
corticosteroid actions:
Moxifloxacin: A fluoroquinolone antibacterial that
inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, interfering with bacterial
DNA replication and repair.
Dexamethasone: A corticosteroid that
reduces inflammatory mediator production and suppresses inflammatory responses.
Clinical response depends on the infection site, susceptibility of the
organism, route of administration, exact dosing schedule, treatment duration
and individual patient factors.
Antibacterial
stewardship is important: use should be limited to appropriate bacterial
indications to reduce unnecessary exposure and antimicrobial resistance.
Dosage and Direction for Use
Use MOXITHICS strictly according to the current approved
product label and healthcare professional's prescription. Dose, frequency,
route and treatment duration must not be inferred from the composition alone.
Wash hands before administration and avoid touching
the dropper tip to fingers, skin or other surfaces to reduce contamination
risk.
Do not extend
corticosteroid-containing treatment beyond the prescribed duration without
reassessment. Complete the antibacterial course as directed unless a healthcare
professional advises otherwise.
Possible Side Effects
Possible adverse effects may include:
·
Temporary local irritation, burning, stinging,
discomfort or dryness
·
Hypersensitivity reactions may occur;
discontinue and seek medical advice for significant allergy symptoms
·
Fluoroquinolone exposure may contribute to
selection of non-susceptible organisms with prolonged or inappropriate use
·
Prolonged corticosteroid exposure can delay
healing, suppress local immune response and increase susceptibility to
secondary infection; route-specific risks require monitoring
Any persistent or troublesome adverse effect
should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
Precautions and Contraindications
·
Avoid use in patients with known
hypersensitivity to Moxifloxacin, other quinolones, Dexamethasone or any
formulation excipient.
·
Corticosteroid-containing drops should not be
used for undiagnosed infections; viral or fungal disease may be worsened or
masked.
·
Prolonged corticosteroid use may require
route-specific monitoring, including assessment for delayed healing, secondary
infection and other steroid-related complications.
·
If used ophthalmically, prolonged
corticosteroid therapy can increase intraocular pressure and contribute to
glaucoma or cataract formation in susceptible patients; monitoring may be
required.
·
If used ophthalmically, contact-lens use
during active infection should follow professional and approved-label advice.
·
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, pediatric use and
patients with relevant local tissue disease or previous steroid complications
require individualized professional assessment.
·
Check the exact route, preservative system,
salt forms, excipients, storage requirements and discard-after-opening
instructions on the approved label.
·
Drug Interaction Considerations
·
Systemic exposure from local drops may be
limited, but clinically relevant interactions and additive effects can still
depend on route, dose, duration and patient factors. Other corticosteroids,
anti-infectives and local medicines should be reviewed by the prescriber.
