Warnings and precautions

Do not use in viral (e.g., herpes simplex), fungal, or mycobacterial eye infections unless prescribed. Prolonged steroid use may increase intraocular pressure, cause glaucoma/cataract, delay wound healing, and increase risk of secondary infection; follow duration strictly. Seek urgent care for severe eye pain, vision changes, swelling, rash, or worsening symptoms. Use caution in patients with glaucoma; monitoring may be needed. Not for injection; avoid sharing the bottle.

Do not take Moxoft-D if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Generally avoided in children and adolescents, in pregnancy, and in anyone with a history of tendon problems with these antibiotics. Not for people with an untreated systemic infection, except where the steroid is part of the treatment.

Interactions with other medicines

Other ophthalmic drops/ointments (separate by 5–10 minutes; ointments last), medicines that increase intraocular pressure when combined with steroids (additive effect). Clinically significant systemic interactions are unlikely with topical use.

Expert advice for Moxoft-D Eye Drops

Stopping it early may make the infection come back and harder to treat. 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.
