Apdrops XG 5 mL Eye Drop

Apdrops XG 5 mL Eye Drop is a prescription moxifloxacin ophthalmic solution used to treat certain bacterial eye infections. Each 5 mL bottle of Apdrops XG 5 mL Eye Drop contains moxifloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that works in the eye to stop bacteria from growing. It is used for bacterial conjunctivitis and other bacterial eye infections when your doctor thinks an antibiotic eye drop is appropriate. Because it is an eye drop, it acts locally in the eye rather than as a tablet or injection.

How it works: Moxifloxacin kills susceptible bacteria by blocking enzymes they need to copy and repair their DNA. In Apdrops XG 5 mL Eye Drop, that action happens right on the eye surface, helping clear the infection where the drops are placed.

The Apdrops XG 5 mL Eye Drop bottle is a convenient multi-dose eye drop size for patients who need a full course of treatment and want a form that is easy to carry and use. Since there are no other listed strengths or forms of Apdrops XG, this 5 mL bottle fits standard topical eye-drop treatment as prescribed by a doctor, rather than being a higher or lower tablet-style strength.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Bacterial eye infection treatment
• Eye redness and discharge caused by bacteria
• Doctor-directed treatment for susceptible eye bacteria

• Wash your hands before using Apdrops XG 5 mL Eye Drop.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• After putting the drop in, close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes; do not rub the eye.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and ask your doctor when you can wear them again.
• Use the drops exactly on the schedule your doctor gives you, even if your eye starts feeling better.

Apdrops XG 5 mL Eye Drop provides moxifloxacin in a 5 mL ophthalmic bottle, not a tablet or oral dose. The exact number of drops and how often to use them depends on the infection and your doctor’s directions; this medicine is commonly used several times a day at first, then sometimes less often as the eye improves. Do not use more often or longer than prescribed, because the doctor decides the dose and duration for this specific eye drop.

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

Common side effects of Moxifloxacin may include:

• Temporary eye burning or stinging after instilling the drop
• Eye irritation or discomfort
• Blurred vision for a short time after use
• Itchy or watery eyes
• Redness of the eye
• Unpleasant taste in the mouth after the drop drains into the throat

• Use only in the eye, not by mouth or injection.
• Do not wear contact lenses during an active bacterial eye infection unless your doctor says it is okay.
• Tell your doctor if you have had an allergy to moxifloxacin or other fluoroquinolone antibiotics.

• Finish the prescribed course even if symptoms improve early.
