Mo Floren 5 g Ointment

Mo Floren 5 g Ointment is a prescription eye ointment that contains moxifloxacin 5 g per tube and belongs to the fluoroquinolone antibiotic class. It is used to treat certain bacterial eye infections, including bacterial conjunctivitis, when an antibiotic eye ointment is appropriate. This product is made by Indoco Remedies and is supplied as a strip/box of 10 tubes.

How it works: Moxifloxacin works by stopping bacteria from making the enzymes they need to copy and repair their DNA. In ointment form, it coats the eye surface so the medicine can act directly where the infection is.

Mo Floren 5 g Ointment is an ophthalmic ointment strength meant for local eye treatment, not for oral use or injection. Compared with lower-dose eye drops or smaller ophthalmic presentations, an ointment form can stay on the eye longer, which some doctors prefer for nighttime use or when longer surface contact is helpful. Because there are no other listed strengths or forms for this brand, the 5 g tube should be used exactly as prescribed by your eye doctor.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Bacterial eye infection
• Antibiotic treatment for the eye surface
• Doctor-directed treatment of susceptible bacteria

• Use only in the eye as directed by your doctor; do not swallow Mo Floren 5 g Ointment.
• Wash your hands before and after applying the ointment.
• Tilt your head back, gently pull down the lower eyelid, and place a small ribbon of ointment inside the lower eyelid pocket.
• Close the eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes and avoid rubbing it.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 minutes between products; use eye drops first and ointment last.
• The ointment may blur vision for a short time after use, so avoid driving or operating machinery until your vision clears.

Each tube provides 5 g of Mo Floren 5 g Ointment, and the exact amount applied per dose is determined by the prescriber, not by the tube size alone. For bacterial eye infections, it is usually used several times a day at first or at bedtime depending on the treatment plan, and the doctor decides the total number of days. Do not use more often or longer than prescribed, even if the eye looks better.

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

• Other prescription eye drops or eye ointments may affect how well Mo Floren 5 g Ointment works if used at the same time.

• Any eye medicines containing steroids should only be combined if your prescriber instructs you to do so.
