Chee SP – The moxifloxacin–loaded punctum plug (MP) delivered and maintained moxifloxacin tear fluid concentrations at therapeutic levels above the MIC90 values for common susceptible conjunctivitis pathogens for 7 days. The MP also exhibited a favorable safety and tolerability profile and, hence, may be a viable alternative to topical antibiotic drops for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis.
