When Should You Consider Switching from Becamox LP Eye Drop?
Patients may explore substitutes in the following scenarios:
- High monthly cost of Becamox LP Eye Drop
- Non-availability in local pharmacies
- Generic recommendation by a doctor
- Side effects or better tolerability with alternatives
What to Know Before Switching
Before you switch from Becamox LP Eye Drop to another medicine, here are some important points to keep in mind:
Same salt, different brands:
Most substitutes contain the same active ingredient - LOTEPREDNOL ETABONATE-0.5%W/V + MOXIFLOXACIN-0.5%W/V, but the fillers, coating, or manufacturing quality may vary slightly.
Consult your doctor first:
Even if the salt is the same, your doctor can confirm if the substitute is right for your condition, dosage, and health history.
Watch out for allergies or reactions:
Some people may react differently to certain brands due to inactive ingredients. If you notice any side effects, inform your doctor immediately.
Price ≠ effectiveness:
A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.
Check the dosage form and strength:
Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.
Uses
Medicinal Benefits
Becamox LP Eye Drop contains Moxifloxacin and Loteprednol etabonate. Moxifloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that acts against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It kills bacteria (bactericidal action) by preventing the synthesis of enzymes, namely DNA gyrase and Topoisomerase II and IV, which is essential for the growth and survival of the bacterial cell. Loteprednol etabonate is a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties and acts by inhibiting the chemicals such as prostaglandins production (chemical messengers) that make the eye red, swollen, and itchy. It reduces symptoms associated with infection such as redness and irritation of the eye and decreases the risk of infections. Collectively, Becamox LP Eye Drop treats and prevents bacterial eye infections and eye inflammation caused by allergies, shingles, iritis (inflammation of the coloured part of the eye (iris), uveitis (inflammation of the middle layer of the eye (uvea), eye injury, radiation, and chemical burns.

If you are using other eye drops along with Becamox LP Eye Drop, maintain an interval of at least 10 minutes before administering other medicines in the same eye to avoid dilution.
Becamox LP Eye Drop is generally prescribed for 7 days. You should use this medicine for a duration prescribed by your doctor. Avoid prolonged use, as it may cause cataracts (clouding of the eye) and increase the second infection risk. If you use Becamox LP Eye Drop for longer than 10 days, you may need frequent vision tests to check the pressure inside your eyes.
Becamox LP Eye Drop can cause a blurry vision for some time in the beginning. Avoid driving and operating machinery in such cases until you feel better. If the effect persists longer, seek medical attention.
