IMF 5 mL Eye Drop

IMF 5 mL Eye Drop is an ophthalmic antibiotic eye drop that contains moxifloxacin 5 mL in each bottle of this 5 mL pack. Moxifloxacin belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial eye infections, including bacterial conjunctivitis. IMF 5 mL Eye Drop is designed to help stop the bacteria causing the infection from growing and spreading in the eye.

How it works: Moxifloxacin works by blocking bacterial enzymes that the germs need to copy and repair their DNA. When used as an eye drop, it delivers the antibiotic directly to the surface of the eye to help clear the infection.

This IMF 5 mL Eye Drop pack is a standard bottle size for people who need a short course of treatment and are able to use eye drops as directed. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, the main difference is the 5 mL bottle volume, which affects how long one bottle lasts rather than the medicine’s strength per drop. A doctor may choose this pack based on the infection being treated and how many doses are needed.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Bacterial eye infection treatment
• Red, infected eye due to susceptible bacteria
• Local antibiotic therapy for the eye

• Wash your hands before using IMF 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.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after use; do not rub the eye.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Use IMF 5 mL Eye Drop exactly as prescribed and finish the full course, even if symptoms improve.

IMF 5 mL Eye Drop provides moxifloxacin in a 5 mL ophthalmic bottle, and the exact number of drops per dose is determined by the prescriber. It is commonly used as one drop in the affected eye(s) several times a day for a short period, but the dosing schedule and maximum daily use should be set by your doctor based on the infection.

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

Common side effects of Moxifloxacin may include:

• Temporary burning or stinging in the eye
• Eye irritation or discomfort
• Blurred vision right after putting in the drops
• Dry eye sensation
• Redness of the eye
• Bad taste in the mouth after use

• Use only for bacterial eye infections that your doctor has diagnosed; it will not treat viral or fungal eye problems.
• Do not wear contact lenses during an active eye infection unless your prescriber says it is okay.
• Avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye to prevent contamination.
• If you are using other eye drops or ointments, separate them by several minutes.
• Tell your doctor if you have had an allergy to moxifloxacin or other fluoroquinolone antibiotics.
• Use caution when driving or operating machinery right after dosing because vision may be blurry for a short time.
• If symptoms get worse or do not start improving, contact your healthcare provider.

• Other ophthalmic medicines, which may need to be spaced apart from IMF 5 mL Eye Drop
• Contact lenses, which can interfere with healing during infection
• A history of allergy to fluoroquinolone antibiotics
• Other medicines that can irritate the eye when used at the same time

Store IMF 5 mL Eye Drop at room temperature, keep the bottle tightly closed, and protect it from contamination and excess heat or direct light.
