Mfc Eye Ointment

Mfc Eye Ointment is an eye antibiotic ointment that contains moxifloxacin in each tube, as labelled on the package. Moxifloxacin belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial eye infections, including bacterial conjunctivitis. Because it is an ointment, Mfc Eye Ointment stays on the eye surface longer than drops and can help deliver medicine directly where the infection is. It should be used only for bacterial infections, not for viral or allergic eye problems.

How it works: Moxifloxacin works by blocking bacterial enzymes that bacteria need to make and repair their DNA, which stops the germs from multiplying. In ointment form, it coats the eye surface and keeps the medicine in contact with the infected area longer.

Mfc Eye Ointment is the ointment form of moxifloxacin, which may feel thicker and blur vision briefly after application compared with eye drops. Since there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this product is used as the specific moxifloxacin eye ointment your doctor selected for your infection and treatment plan. The ointment form may be preferred when longer contact time on the eye surface is helpful or when drops are hard to use.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Bacterial eye infection treatment
• Eye infection caused by susceptible bacteria
• Antibiotic treatment for the outer eye surface

• Wash your hands before and after using Mfc Eye Ointment.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and apply a small ribbon of ointment into the lower eyelid pocket.
• Do not let the tube tip touch your eye, eyelid, fingers, or any surface.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after applying the ointment.
• Expect temporary blurred vision after use; avoid driving or using machinery until your vision clears.
• If your doctor told you to use other eye medicines, separate them by at least 5 to 10 minutes and use the ointment last.

The amount in Mfc Eye Ointment is the labeled moxifloxacin content per tube, and the exact instilled amount is usually a small ribbon placed in the affected eye. Your doctor decides how often to apply it based on the infection and your response, and the prescribed schedule may be once or several times daily depending on the case. Do not use more often or for longer than directed, even if symptoms improve sooner.

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

Common side effects of Moxifloxacin may include:

• Temporary blurred vision after application
• Mild burning or stinging in the eye
• Eye irritation or discomfort
• Redness of the eye or eyelid

• Use only for bacterial eye infections; it will not treat viral or fungal eye problems.
• Temporary blurred vision is common after ointment use, so be careful with driving and other tasks that need clear sight.
• Do not wear contact lenses during an active eye infection unless your eye doctor says it is okay.
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of allergy to moxifloxacin, other fluoroquinolone antibiotics, or any eye medicine ingredient.
• Use the exact number of applications prescribed; overuse can increase irritation and may not improve results.
• If eye symptoms worsen or do not start improving as directed, contact your doctor promptly.
• Keep the tube tip clean to avoid contaminating the ointment and spreading infection.

• Other eye medicines, including antibiotic or steroid eye products
• Contact lens solutions or lens use during treatment
• Any medicine or supplement that your doctor wants reviewed for allergy history
• Other fluoroquinolone antibiotics if you have had a previous reaction
