Product Overview
Visiquin-LP is an advanced ophthalmic combination containing Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride 0.5% w/v and Loteprednol Etabonate 0.5% w/v. It is specially formulated to treat bacterial eye infections associated with significant inflammation.
This combination brings together:
-
The powerful broad-spectrum antibiotic action of moxifloxacin
-
The targeted anti-inflammatory effect of loteprednol etabonate, a safer ophthalmic steroid
Visiquin-LP is ideal for conditions where infection and inflammation occur together and require a balanced therapeutic approach.
What Are Moxifloxacin and Loteprednol Etabonate Eye Drops Used For?
Visiquin-LP eye drops are prescribed for:
-
Bacterial conjunctivitis with inflammation
-
Post-operative eye inflammation and infection prevention
-
Keratitis with inflammatory response
-
Blepharo-conjunctivitis
-
Ocular surface infections with redness and swelling
-
Inflammation after cataract or LASIK surgery
This formulation provides dual-action therapy — controlling the infection while simultaneously reducing pain, redness, and swelling.
Understanding Bacterial Eye Infections
Bacterial eye infections are commonly caused by organisms such as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species. The National Eye Institute (NIH, USA) explains that bacterial conjunctivitis leads to redness, sticky discharge, irritation, and eyelid swelling.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends antibiotic therapy when these symptoms are accompanied by significant inflammation.

How Visiquin-LP Works
Moxifloxacin – The Antibiotic Component
Moxifloxacin is a fourth-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic that:
-
Kills a wide range of bacteria
-
Stops bacterial DNA replication
-
Controls infection quickly
-
Prevents spread to deeper tissues
Clinical studies published in PubMed Central confirm the effectiveness of moxifloxacin ophthalmic solution in treating bacterial eye infections.

Loteprednol Etabonate – The Anti-Inflammatory Component
Loteprednol is a newer-generation ophthalmic steroid designed to:
-
Reduce redness and swelling
-
Control pain and irritation
-
Minimize inflammatory damage
-
Offer better safety compared to traditional steroids
Because loteprednol is a “soft steroid,” it has lower risk of increasing intraocular pressure compared to older steroid molecules, making it a preferred option for eye inflammation.
