Mechanism of Action:
*Moxifloxacin:* It is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes, thus interfering with bacterial DNA replication and leading to bacterial cell death.
*Prednisolone acetate:* It is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators and suppressing the immune response in the eye.
