Use it only as directed by an eye-care professional. For safe treatment, follow the prescribed dosage, duration, and application instructions, and avoid self-medication.
How to use
Moxifloxacin and Loteprednol Etabonate eye drops should be used exactly as prescribed by your doctor or ophthalmologist. This medicine combines an antibiotic with a corticosteroid, so proper use is important for effective treatment and to reduce the risk of unwanted effects. Wash your hands: Clean and dry your hands thoroughly before using the eye drops. Check the medicine: Check the label and expiry date. If the product requires shaking, shake it gently as directed on the label. Position yourself: Tilt your head back or lie down and gently pull the lower eyelid downward to create a small pocket. Apply the drops: Hold the bottle close to the eye without touching the eye, eyelids, or eyelashes. Instill the prescribed number of drops into the affected eye. Close your eye: Gently close your eye for about 1–2 minutes. Avoid blinking or squeezing the eyelids tightly. Prevent contamination: Replace the cap immediately after use and do not share the bottle with anyone. Follow the schedule: Use Moxifloxacin and Loteprednol Etabonate for the exact duration and frequency recommended by your healthcare professional. Using other eye medicines: If you use other eye drops or ointments, maintain an appropriate interval between products as advised by your doctor. Missed dose: Use the missed dose when remembered unless it is nearly time for the next dose. Do not use extra drops to compensate.
