Price range: $15.40 through $44.40

Mahaflox 5 gm (Moxifloxacin) is a prescription antibiotic eye ointment that typically contains moxifloxacin 0.5%, used to treat bacterial eye infections such as conjunctivitis (pink eye) and certain corneal infections. It works by stopping bacteria from multiplying, helping to clear the infection. The ointment form provides longer contact time with the eye surface compared to drops, but it can cause temporary blurred vision after application. Always confirm the active ingredient on your tube and use exactly as prescribed.

📋 Product Description
Mahaflox 5 gm (Moxifloxacin) is the kind of eye medication you get when your eye is red, gunky, and irritated enough that you finally go to the doctor. People usually search for things like “moxifloxacin eye ointment,” “antibiotic eye ointment for pink eye,” “bacterial conjunctivitis treatment,” “eye infection ointment 5gm,” or “how to apply eye ointment.” If you’re reading this, you probably have a tube in hand and want to know what you’re dealing with. Most Mahaflox 5 gm tubes are moxifloxacin 0.5% ophthalmic ointment. Since brand names can vary by manufacturer, it’s worth checking your tube to confirm the active ingredient and concentration. Moxifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, which means it kills bacteria by interfering with their DNA replication. It’s broad-spectrum, so it covers many types of bacteria that cause eye infections.

What it’s typically used for

Doctors prescribe moxifloxacin eye ointment for:
  • Bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye) – the most common reason
  • Bacterial keratitis (infection of the cornea)
  • Other bacterial infections of the eye surface as diagnosed by an eye doctor
It won’t help viral conjunctivitis or allergic eye irritation. If your eyes are watery and itchy but not producing a thick discharge, it’s probably not bacterial, and this ointment won’t help.

How to apply eye ointment without making a mess

Eye ointment is effective but can be tricky. Here’s the practical approach:
  1. Wash your hands well
  2. Tilt your head back or lie down
  3. Gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket
  4. Squeeze a small ribbon (about 1/2 inch) of ointment into that pocket
  5. Close your eyes gently and roll them around to spread the ointment
  6. Try not to touch the tube tip to your eye, lashes, or skin
  7. Wipe away excess from the outer eyelid with a clean tissue
Your vision will be blurry for a few minutes after application. That’s normal. Don’t drive or do anything requiring clear vision until it clears.

How often and how long to use it

The exact schedule depends on your infection type and severity. Typical regimens are:
  • Conjunctivitis: 3 times daily for 7 days
  • Keratitis: Every 2 hours for the first day, then tapering
Follow your prescription label exactly. Even if your eye looks better in 2 days, finish the full course. Stopping early can let bacteria survive and come back stronger.

If you wear contact lenses

Take them out before applying the ointment and don’t put them back in for at least 15 minutes. Better yet, avoid contacts entirely during an active infection. Contacts can trap bacteria and reinfect your eye. Replace your lens case and any solution bottles used during the infection.

Side effects you might notice

Common, usually mild: Less common but worth mentioning:
  • White residue on lashes or eyelids (just wipe it off)
  • Headache or mild eye pain
  • Bad taste in mouth (some drainage is normal)
Get medical help if you have:
  • Severe eye pain
  • Vision changes that don’t clear up
  • Swelling of eyelids or face
  • Signs of an allergic reaction (rash, difficulty breathing)

Important precautions

Avoid touching the tube tip to anything. Contaminated tubes can introduce new bacteria. Don’t share your ointment with anyone else, even if they have similar symptoms. Eye infections can be contagious, but treatment should be individual. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or treating a child, confirm with your doctor that this is the right choice. Safety data is generally good, but it’s always worth checking.

What to do if it’s not working

If there’s no improvement after 3 days, or symptoms get worse, call your doctor. You might need a different antibiotic, or the infection might not be bacterial. Don’t just use it more often.

Available Strengths (as available in the market)

Moxifloxacin ophthalmic products come in several forms and strengths:
  • 0.5% ointment (5 gm tube) – this product
  • 0.5% eye drops (3 mL, 5 mL, or 10 mL bottles)
  • 0.5% single-use vials (preservative-free for sensitive eyes)
Some markets also offer 0.3% drops or 0.4% gel, but 0.5% is the most common prescription strength.
