Alastine Eye Drops
Epinastine 0.05%
Alastine® Eye Drop is the preparation of Epinastine 0.05%. Epinastine is a topically active, direct H1-receptor antagonist and an inhibitor of the release of histamine from the mast cell. Epinastine is selective for the histamine H1-receptor and has affinity for the histamine H2-receptor. Epinastine also possesses affinity for the α1-, α 2-, and 5-HT2–receptors. Some anti-allergic agents markedly inhibit basal tear production due to the blockade of muscarinic-3 receptor. Epinastine causes minimal inhibition of muscarinic-3 receptors leading to limited interference in the tear secretion.

Thus, vital information from the bacterial chromosomes cannot be transcribed, which causes a break-down of bacterial metabolism.
Ciprofloxacin has a very high in vitro activity against almost all gram negative microorganisms including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is also effective against gram positive bacteria, such as Staphylococci and Streptococci. Anaerobes are in general less susceptible.
Topical ocular administration of ciprofloxacin to immature animals did not cause any arthropathy and there is no evidence that the ophthalmic dosage form has any effect on the weight bearing points.

Moxifloxacin, an effective drug for ocular infections, has a bulky side-chain at C-7 position which-
- Inhibits cell’s efflux pump mechanism that expels the drug out of cell
- Increase drug’s length of stay in bacterial cell
Thus maximizes efficacy and inhibits resistance to the antibiotic.
