Tagamox- LP Eye Drops 5 ml contains Moxifloxacin and Loteprednol etabonate. Moxifloxacin is an antibiotic that prevents bacterial cells from dividing and repairing, thereby killing the bacteria. Loteprednol etabonate, a corticosteroid, blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the eye red, swollen and itchy. Collectively, Tagamox- LP Eye Drops 5 ml helps in relieving and treating symptoms of bacterial eye infections.
You are not recommended to stop using Tagamox- LP Eye Drops 5 ml without consulting your doctor even if you feel better. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Therefore, use Tagamox- LP Eye Drops 5 ml for as long as your doctor has prescribed it, and if you experience any difficulty while using Tagamox- LP Eye Drops 5 ml, please consult your doctor.
If you are using other eye drops along with Tagamox- LP Eye Drops 5 ml, maintain an interval of at least 10 minutes before administering other medicines in the same eye to avoid dilution.

About Tagamox- LP Eye Drops 5 ml
Tagamox- LP Eye Drops 5 ml belongs to a group of medications called ‘Antibiotics and Corticosteroids’ used to treat bacterial eye infections or eye discomfort. It is also used in patients who have undergone eye surgeries. It is used to treat eye inflammation caused by allergies, shingles, iritis (inflammation of the coloured part of the eye (iris)), uveitis (inflammation of the middle layer of the eye (uvea)), eye injury, radiation, and chemical burns. A bacterial eye infection occurs when bacteria invade any part of the eyeball or its surrounding tissues, including the cornea (clear front surface of the eye) and the conjunctiva (thin membrane lining the outer eye and inner eyelids). Tagamox- LP Eye Drops 5 ml is used to prevent or treat only bacterial eye infections. It does not work against infections caused by viruses and fungus.
Tagamox- LP Eye Drops 5 ml contains two medicines, namely: Moxifloxacin (antibiotic) and Loteprednol etabonate (corticosteroid). Moxifloxacin belongs to a class of drugs called fluoroquinolone antibiotics that helps in treating and preventing a wide range of bacterial infections. It kills bacteria (bactericidal action) by preventing the synthesis of enzymes, namely DNA gyrase and Topoisomerase II and IV, which is essential for the growth and survival of the bacterial cell. Loteprednol etabonate belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks prostaglandins' production (chemical messengers) that make the eye red, swollen, and itchy. Together, Tagamox- LP Eye Drops 5 ml prevents the spread of eye infections caused by bacteria, and also reduces inflammation and pain.
Tagamox- LP Eye Drops 5 ml is for ophthalmic use only. Your doctor will advise on how often you need to use Tagamox- LP Eye Drops 5 ml based on your medical condition. Some common side effects of Tagamox- LP Eye Drops 5 ml include redness in the eyes, blurred vision, burning or stinging sensation in the eye, and eye discomfort. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, you are advised to consult your doctor if you experience any of the side effects persistently.
Please do not use Tagamox- LP Eye Drops 5 ml without consulting your doctor if you have damaged cornea, ulcers in the eye, eye infection, pus, open lesions in the eye, and glaucoma (a condition where the pressure inside the eye is increased). Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using Tagamox- LP Eye Drops 5 ml. Avoid touching the eyedropper with bare hands or to the eyelids while administering drops, since it contaminates the dropper tip and solution. If you wear contact lenses, please inform your doctor since Tagamox- LP Eye Drops 5 ml may contain additives like Benzalkonium chloride that change the colour. Tagamox- LP Eye Drops 5 ml sometimes may make your eye red after administration; in such cases, please avoid wearing a lens until the eye becomes better. Tagamox- LP Eye Drops 5 ml might temporarily blur your vision, so avoid driving, or operating machines until your vision is clear.
