4 QUIN D EYE DROP

4 Quin-D Eye Drop: Professional Overview

Indications
4 Quin-D Eye Drop is a prescription medication designed to treat bacterial eye infections, such as conjunctivitis (pink eye). It is effective in alleviating symptoms including redness, itching, swelling, and discomfort in the affected eye.

Mechanism of Action
4 Quin-D Eye Drop combines two active ingredients:

• Moxifloxacin: An antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell division and repair, effectively eliminating the infection.
• Dexamethasone: A steroid that reduces inflammation by blocking the production of chemical mediators (prostaglandins) responsible for redness, swelling, and itching.

Dosage and Administration

• Usage: Administer the drops only in the affected eye.
• Frequency: Typically prescribed 2-3 times daily for a minimum of one week, or as directed by your healthcare provider.
• Application:
  1. Wash hands thoroughly before use.
  2. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching the eye surface.
  3. Gently squeeze the dropper to release a drop into the lower eyelid.
  4. Wipe off any excess liquid.

Adverse Effects
While most side effects are mild and transient, monitoring is recommended:

• Common Side Effects:
  • Eye irritation
  • Discomfort
  • Blurred vision

If side effects persist or cause concern, consult a healthcare professional.

Precautions

• Allergy Information: Inform your doctor if you have any known allergies to the components of this medication.
• Medication Interactions: Discuss any other medications you are taking with your healthcare provider to prevent potential interactions.
• Driving and Machinery: Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery immediately after application due to the possibility of blurred vision.

Important Notes

• Do not skip doses and complete the entire course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before the prescribed duration is finished. This helps prevent recurrence of the infection.
• In case of accidental contact with areas other than the eye (ears, nose, mouth), rinse thoroughly with water.
