Mosi 5 g Ointment

Mosi 5 g Ointment is an eye antibiotic ointment that contains moxifloxacin 5 g in each tube. It belongs to the fluoroquinolone class and is used to treat certain bacterial eye infections, such as bacterial conjunctivitis, when a doctor decides an antibiotic ointment is appropriate. Because it is an ointment, it can stay on the eye surface longer than a liquid drop, which may help provide prolonged local treatment. Use Mosi 5 g Ointment only as directed for the specific eye infection your clinician diagnosed.

How it works: Moxifloxacin stops bacteria from copying and repairing their DNA, which prevents the bacteria from growing and spreading. As an eye ointment, Mosi 5 g Ointment delivers the medicine directly to the infected eye surface, where it works locally against susceptible bacteria.

This Mosi 5 g Ointment is a single-strength eye ointment presentation, so there are no other listed strengths or forms in this brand line for comparison. A doctor may choose an ointment like Mosi 5 g Ointment when longer contact on the eye is helpful or when a patient may prefer an ointment over drops, though it can blur vision briefly after application. It is meant for people whose eye infection has been assessed as bacterial and suitable for this dosage form.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Bacterial eye infection treatment
• Doctor-directed topical eye antibiotic therapy

• Wash your hands before and after using Mosi 5 g 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, fingers, or any surface.
• After applying, close the eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes; do not rub the eye.
• Expect temporary blurred vision after use, so avoid driving or other tasks needing clear vision until it passes.
• Use it exactly as often and for as long as your doctor prescribed, even if the eye starts to look better.

Mosi 5 g Ointment supplies 5 g of moxifloxacin eye ointment in each tube. The exact amount used and how often it is applied depends on the prescription and the severity of the infection; the doctor decides the schedule, and there is no one-size-fits-all dose for every patient. Use only the number of applications per day your prescriber recommends, and do not use more than directed.

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