Centaflox Eye Drop 5 mL

Centaflox Eye Drop 5 mL is an antibiotic eye drop that contains moxifloxacin in a 5 mL ophthalmic solution bottle. Moxifloxacin belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics. It is used to treat certain bacterial eye infections, especially bacterial conjunctivitis, and it helps reduce the bacteria causing the infection. Centaflox Eye Drop 5 mL is meant for use in the eyes only, not for oral or injectable use.

How it works: Moxifloxacin kills susceptible bacteria by blocking enzymes they need to copy and repair their DNA, which stops the bacteria from multiplying. In Centaflox Eye Drop 5 mL, this action happens directly on the eye surface where the infection is located.

Centaflox Eye Drop 5 mL is a standard ophthalmic bottle size for treatment courses prescribed by a clinician, rather than a different concentration. Because it is an eye drop, the medicine starts working locally on the eye surface after instillation, with minimal body-wide exposure compared with many oral antibiotics. A doctor may choose Centaflox Eye Drop 5 mL when a targeted antibiotic eye treatment is needed and the 5 mL bottle is enough for the full prescribed course.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Eye redness caused by bacterial infection
• Eye discharge from susceptible bacteria
• Doctor-prescribed treatment for bacterial eye infection

• Wash your hands before using Centaflox Eye Drop 5 mL.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• Do not let the tip of the bottle touch your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after instilling the drop; do not rub the eye.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and follow your doctor’s advice on when to put them back in.
• Use it exactly as prescribed and finish the full course even if your eye feels better.

Centaflox Eye Drop 5 mL provides moxifloxacin as an ophthalmic solution in a 5 mL bottle, and the exact number of drops per dose depends on the prescription. In many eye infections, it is used several times a day at first and then less often as treatment continues, but the dosing schedule is set by the doctor based on the severity of the infection. There is no single maximum daily dose that fits every patient, so follow the prescribed directions exactly for this strength.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
