Apdrops 5 mL Eye Drop

Apdrops 5 mL Eye Drop is a prescription eye drop that contains moxifloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used for bacterial eye infections. Each 5 mL bottle of Apdrops 5 mL Eye Drop delivers moxifloxacin as an ophthalmic solution for direct use in the eye. It works against susceptible bacteria that can cause infections such as bacterial conjunctivitis. This product is made for eye use only and should be used exactly as directed by a doctor.

How it works: Moxifloxacin stops bacteria from multiplying by blocking enzymes they need to copy their DNA. In Apdrops 5 mL Eye Drop, this action happens directly on the eye surface, helping the antibiotic reach the infected area.

Apdrops 5 mL Eye Drop is a 5 mL ophthalmic bottle, so it is designed for short-course, local treatment in the eye rather than for oral or injectable use. Because moxifloxacin eye drops act right where the infection is, a doctor may choose this form when a targeted antibiotic is needed and a small bottle size is appropriate for the prescribed course.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Eye infection caused by susceptible bacteria
• Treatment of redness and discharge linked to bacterial eye infection
• Local antibiotic treatment for the eye

• Use Apdrops 5 mL Eye Drop only in the eyes, not by mouth.
• Wash your hands before and after using the bottle.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and instill the prescribed number of drops.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and ask your doctor when you can put them back in.
• Use it at the times your doctor prescribed, even if symptoms start to improve.

Each Apdrops 5 mL Eye Drop bottle contains 5 mL of moxifloxacin ophthalmic solution for eye use. The exact number of drops per dose and how often to use it are decided by the doctor based on the eye infection, and the schedule may differ from one patient to another. Do not exceed the prescribed frequency or duration, even though this is a local eye drop and not a pill.

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

Common side effects of Moxifloxacin may include:

• Temporary eye irritation or burning after instillation
• Eye redness
• Itching or mild discomfort in the eye
• Dry eyes or watery eyes
• Blurred vision for a short time after the drop
• A bitter or unusual taste in the mouth after using the drop

• Use Apdrops 5 mL Eye Drop only if prescribed for a bacterial eye infection; it will not treat viral or fungal eye problems.
• If you have a history of allergy to moxifloxacin or other fluoroquinolone antibiotics, tell your doctor before use.
• Remove contact lenses before applying the drops and do not wear them during an active eye infection unless your doctor says it is okay.
• Temporary blurred vision can occur after use, so be careful with driving or tasks that need clear sight until your vision clears.
• Do not use the bottle longer than prescribed, even if the eye feels better.
• Tell your doctor about pregnancy, breastfeeding, and any severe eye disease before starting treatment.
• If symptoms worsen or do not improve as directed, seek medical advice promptly.

• Other eye medications or eye ointments used at the same time
• Contact lens solutions and lens wear during treatment
