Medicine overview
4 Quin Eye Drops 5 mL is an ophthalmic antibiotic containing moxifloxacin 0.5% w/v. Despite the supplied product description stating “Ofloxacin,” current product listings identify 4 Quin Eye Drops by Entod Pharmaceuticals as containing moxifloxacin, not ofloxacin. Moxifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used for bacterial infections of the eye. It works directly against susceptible bacteria and is intended only for use in the eye. The medicine is a prescription product.
What it is used for
4 Quin Eye Drops are used to treat bacterial infections affecting the eye. Moxifloxacin ophthalmic solution is established for treating bacterial conjunctivitis caused by susceptible organisms. Antibiotic eye drops do not treat viral or allergic conjunctivitis, so the cause of red or irritated eyes should be appropriately assessed before treatment.
How it works
Moxifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It blocks bacterial enzymes called DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which bacteria need to copy, repair and maintain their DNA. Interfering with these processes prevents susceptible bacteria from multiplying and leads to bacterial death. When applied as an ophthalmic solution, moxifloxacin acts locally in the eye to control susceptible bacterial infection.
How it is taken
Use 4 Quin only in the eye and follow the prescribed directions. Wash your hands before application and do not allow the dropper tip to touch the eye, fingers or another surface because this can contaminate the solution. Complete the prescribed course even if symptoms improve. Do not wear contact lenses while signs or symptoms of bacterial conjunctivitis are present.
Important warnings
Do not use moxifloxacin ophthalmic treatment if you have had a serious allergic reaction to moxifloxacin, another quinolone antibiotic, or a product ingredient. Stop using it and obtain medical advice promptly if signs of hypersensitivity such as rash, facial or throat swelling, breathing difficulty or severe itching occur. Prolonged antibiotic use can allow non-susceptible organisms, including fungi, to grow. Seek medical review if the infection worsens, fails to improve, or new eye symptoms develop. The dropper tip must be kept clean to reduce the risk of contaminating the solution. Do not inject ophthalmic moxifloxacin into the eye.
Side effects and monitoring
Common effects of ophthalmic moxifloxacin include eye irritation; clinical studies have also reported conjunctivitis and fever in a small proportion of patients. Burning, discomfort, redness, itching, tearing or blurred vision may occur with ophthalmic antibiotics. Serious hypersensitivity reactions are uncommon but require urgent medical attention, particularly if breathing difficulty or facial or throat swelling develops. Significant eye pain, worsening redness, marked visual changes, persistent symptoms or signs of a new infection should be medically assessed. Routine laboratory monitoring is not generally required for topical ophthalmic use.
Pregnancy
Adequate and well-controlled studies of moxifloxacin ophthalmic solution in pregnant women are not available. Systemic exposure after topical eye administration is low, but use during pregnancy should be based on clinical need and professional assessment.
Breastfeeding
There are no adequate human data showing whether moxifloxacin from ophthalmic use is present in breast milk or affects a breastfed infant or milk production. Systemic exposure after topical ocular administration is low. The benefits of breastfeeding, the mother's clinical need for treatment and any potential risk to the infant should be considered.
Food, drink and interactions
No specific alcohol interaction is established for ophthalmic moxifloxacin. Because this product is applied locally to the eye and systemic exposure is low, the prescribing information does not specify an alcohol restriction.
Food and drink
No special dietary restriction is required for ophthalmic moxifloxacin. Food and drink do not affect administration because the medicine is applied directly to the eye.
Frequently asked questions
Does 4 Quin contain ofloxacin?
No. The currently identified 4 Quin Eye Drops 5 mL manufactured by Entod Pharmaceuticals contain moxifloxacin 0.5% w/v. The supplied “Ofloxacin” description does not match the verified product identity.
Is it normal for moxifloxacin eye drops to sting or irritate my eye?
Mild eye irritation can occur. Severe pain, worsening redness, swelling or a significant change in vision should be assessed promptly rather than assumed to be a normal reaction.
Can I wear contact lenses while using 4 Quin?
Do not wear contact lenses while you have signs or symptoms of bacterial conjunctivitis. Follow your eye-care professional's advice about when lenses can safely be used again.
Should I stop the drops once my eye looks better?
No. Use the medicine for the full period prescribed unless your healthcare professional tells you otherwise. Stopping an antibiotic too early may leave the infection incompletely treated.
What if my eye infection is not improving with 4 Quin?
Contact your healthcare professional if symptoms do not improve or become worse. Persistent symptoms may need examination because not every red or irritated eye is caused by bacteria susceptible to moxifloxacin.
Can 4 Quin treat viral or allergic pink eye?
No. Moxifloxacin is an antibacterial medicine and does not treat viral or allergic conjunctivitis.
How do I keep the eye-drop bottle from becoming contaminated?
Wash your hands before use and never allow the dropper tip to touch your eye, eyelid, fingers or another surface. Keep the bottle closed when it is not being used.
Is 4 Quin a prescription medicine?
Yes. Moxifloxacin ophthalmic solution is a prescription medicine, and current Indian product listings classify 4 Quin Eye Drops as prescription-only.
