MFC 5 mL Eye Drop

MFC 5 mL Eye Drop is a prescription eye medicine that contains moxifloxacin 0.5% w/v in a 5 mL bottle. It belongs to the fluoroquinolone antibiotic class and is used to treat certain bacterial eye infections, such as bacterial conjunctivitis. The MFC 5 mL Eye Drop works locally in the eye to help stop bacteria from growing and spreading. This product is for bacterial infections only and will not treat viral or allergic eye problems.

How it works: Moxifloxacin blocks bacterial enzymes that bacteria need to copy and repair their DNA, so the germs cannot multiply. As an eye drop, MFC 5 mL Eye Drop delivers the antibiotic directly to the surface of the eye where the infection is present.

MFC 5 mL Eye Drop is a standard eye-drop bottle size that suits short-course treatment and makes it easier to carry and use as directed. Because it is a topical eye antibiotic rather than an oral medicine, it starts acting at the site of infection in the eye rather than throughout the body. Your doctor may choose MFC 5 mL Eye Drop based on the infection, how severe it is, and how many days of treatment you need.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Bacterial eye infection
• Red, pus-like eye discharge caused by bacteria
• Doctor-directed treatment of susceptible eye bacteria

• Wash your hands before using MFC 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 tip of the bottle touch your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after instilling the drop; do not blink hard or rub the eye.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Replace the cap tightly after use and follow the full treatment course even if symptoms improve.

MFC 5 mL Eye Drop delivers moxifloxacin in a 5 mL eye-drop bottle; the exact dose is usually one drop in the affected eye(s) as prescribed, not the full bottle at once. Doctors commonly direct use 3 times daily for the first 2 days, then 2 times daily for the next 5 days, but your prescriber may adjust the schedule based on your infection and response. Do not use more often or for longer than directed unless your doctor tells you to.

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

Common side effects of Moxifloxacin may include:

• Temporary eye stinging or burning after the drop
• Blurred vision right after use
• Eye irritation or discomfort
• Dry eye or mild eye pain
• Redness of the eye
• Unpleasant taste in the mouth after instillation

• Use only for bacterial eye infections, not viral pink eye or allergies.
• Remove contact lenses before using MFC 5 mL Eye Drop and ask your doctor when you can put them back in.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to avoid contaminating the bottle.
• If you are allergic to moxifloxacin or other fluoroquinolone antibiotics, tell your doctor before use.
• Use caution if your vision is blurred right after the drop; wait until vision clears before driving or using machinery.
• Tell your doctor about pregnancy, breastfeeding, or a history of tendon problems or serious antibiotic reactions.
• Seek medical advice if symptoms worsen or do not improve as expected.

• Other eye drops or ointments used at the same time
• Contact lens wear while using the drops
• Any known allergy to moxifloxacin or fluoroquinolones
• Medicines or conditions that raise the risk of severe antibiotic reactions, if your doctor has concerns

Store MFC 5 mL Eye Drop at room temperature, tightly closed, away from heat, and keep the bottle clean and out of reach of children.
