Moxicip Eye Drop

Moxicip Eye Drop is a prescription eye medicine that contains moxifloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, in each bottle as labeled. It is used to treat certain bacterial eye infections, including bacterial conjunctivitis, by stopping the bacteria from growing. This Moxicip Eye Drop is made by Cipla, India, and is supplied in a strip/box of 10 bottles for topical eye use only.

How it works: Moxifloxacin works by blocking bacterial enzymes that the germs need to copy and repair their DNA. When used as Moxicip Eye Drop, it delivers the medicine directly to the infected eye, helping reduce the bacteria causing redness, discharge, and irritation.

Moxicip Eye Drop is a liquid ophthalmic antibiotic meant for direct use in the eye, so it may be chosen when a doctor wants fast local treatment for an active bacterial infection. Compared with the sibling Moxicip Singules Ophthalmic Solution, this bottle format is intended for standard repeated eye-drop dosing rather than a single-use style, and the exact labeled strength matters because higher-strength moxifloxacin products are used only when a clinician has specifically prescribed them.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Other susceptible bacterial eye infections
• Reducing bacterial growth in the eye
• Doctor-directed treatment of infected eye symptoms

• Wash your hands before each use.
• Do not wear contact lenses while the eye is infected unless your doctor says it is okay.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• Close the eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after putting in the drop; do not rub the eye.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor gives different instructions.

Moxicip Eye Drop contains moxifloxacin as labeled in each bottle, and the exact drop strength should be used only as prescribed for your infection. It is usually instilled into the affected eye several times a day for a short course, but the doctor decides the schedule and the maximum daily use based on the eye condition and response to treatment.

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
• Mild eye irritation
• Redness of the eye
• Blurred vision for a short time after use
• Itchy or watery eyes
• Unpleasant taste in the mouth after instilling the drop

• Use only in the eye; do not swallow Moxicip Eye Drop.
• Tell your doctor if you have had allergy to moxifloxacin or other fluoroquinolone antibiotics.
• Remove contact lenses before using the drops and ask when you can restart them.
• Use caution after dosing because vision may blur briefly; avoid driving until your vision clears.
• Tell your doctor about tendon problems, nerve problems, or a history of severe antibiotic reactions.
• Do not stop treatment early unless your prescriber tells you to, even if symptoms improve.
• Use in children, pregnant patients, or breastfeeding patients only when the prescriber says it is appropriate.

• Other eye drops or eye ointments may affect how Moxicip Eye Drop is absorbed; spacing doses may be needed.
• Corticosteroid eye drops can sometimes mask infection or change healing, so your doctor should know if you use them.
• Any other quinolone or fluoroquinolone antibiotic should be reported to your prescriber because of allergy and class-related concerns.
• If you take systemic medicines that can affect heart rhythm, tell your doctor, especially if you have a history of QT prolongation.

Store Moxicip Eye Drop at room temperature, tightly closed, and keep it protected from contamination; do not freeze unless the label says otherwise.
