Flucomet Eye Drop

It contains Fluorometholone (a corticosteroid) and Moxifloxacin (a broad-spectrum antibiotic), making it effective in managing both inflammation and bacterial infections of the eye, such as conjunctivitis, keratitis, and post-operative inflammation.

The dual-action formula works by reducing swelling, redness, and irritation while simultaneously eliminating bacterial pathogens, promoting faster healing and restoring eye health.
