Moxigram KT Eye Drop
Moxigram KT Eye Drops is a combination of Moxifloxacin and Ketorolac. This medicine is used as an antibiotic to treat bacterial eye infections. It is also effective in treating the symptoms of pain, redness, and/or swelling that may occur after cataract surgery (an eye surgery to correct blurring of vision). It works by killing the infection-causing bacteria and also reduces the redness and swelling associated with an infection.

However, continue taking the medicine for the prescribed duration. Skipping doses or not completing the full course of therapy may result in decreased effectiveness of the medicine or increased risk of re-infection.
