AP H 5 mL Eye Drop

AP H 5 mL Eye Drop is a prescription eye drop containing moxifloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial eye infections. Each bottle of AP H 5 mL Eye Drop contains 5 mL of solution for ophthalmic use, with moxifloxacin as the active ingredient. It is used to help clear bacterial conjunctivitis and other bacterial eye infections when an antibiotic eye drop is appropriate. AP H 5 mL Eye Drop works only against bacteria, not viruses or allergies.

How it works: Moxifloxacin works by blocking bacterial enzymes that bacteria need to copy their DNA and grow. In AP H 5 mL Eye Drop, this helps stop the infection in the eye and allows the eye to heal.

AP H 5 mL Eye Drop is a standard bottle size for a topical eye antibiotic, so it fits the usual short-course treatment plan a doctor prescribes for an eye infection. The 5 mL size is convenient for a full course in many patients, and your prescriber may choose it based on how long treatment is needed and how much drop supply is appropriate.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Bacterial eye infection
• Antibiotic treatment for susceptible eye bacteria
• Doctor-directed ophthalmic infection treatment

• Use AP H 5 mL Eye Drop only in the eye as prescribed by your doctor.
• Wash your hands before and after using the bottle.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and follow your doctor’s instructions on when to put them back in.
• If using other eye medicines, wait at least 5 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.

AP H 5 mL Eye Drop supplies 5 mL of moxifloxacin ophthalmic solution per bottle, not a fixed dose per use. The usual dosing schedule is set by the doctor and often involves drops several times a day for a limited course, with the exact frequency depending on the infection. Do not use more often or longer than prescribed, and there is no patient-set maximum daily dose because the prescriber determines the regimen for this eye drop.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
