Occumox P Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines: Moxifloxacin and Prednisolone. Moxifloxacin is an antibiotic which prevents bacterial cells from dividing and repairing thereby killing the bacteria. This treats your eye infection. Prednisolone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the eye red swollen and itchy.

Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Do not touch the tip to any surface to avoid contamination. Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication to avoid dilution. It may cause short term blurring of vision when first used. Use caution before driving or using machines. Do not wear contact lenses until your infection clears up. Do not use it more often or for longer than advised by your doctor. Make sure to use within 4 weeks of opening the bottle.
