Moxigram 5 mL Eye Drop

Moxigram 5 mL Eye Drop is a prescription eye medicine that contains moxifloxacin 5 mL per unit as supplied in this product’s 5 mL eye-drop form. Moxifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial eye infections, especially bacterial conjunctivitis. It works only against bacteria, not viral or allergic eye problems. Moxigram 5 mL Eye Drop is used when a doctor wants an antibiotic eye drop that can be applied directly to the affected eye.

How it works: Moxifloxacin blocks bacterial enzymes that bacteria need to copy and repair their DNA, which stops them from growing. As an eye drop, Moxigram 5 mL Eye Drop delivers the antibiotic directly to the surface of the eye so it can act where the infection is located.

This is the 5 mL eye-drop presentation of Moxigram, so it is chosen for patients who need a small, easy-to-use bottle for a short course of eye treatment. Because there are no other listed Moxigram strengths or forms here, this product fits the usual eye-drop dosing that a doctor selects based on the infection, eye exam, and how many doses are needed.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Bacterial eye infection treatment
• Eye redness from susceptible bacteria
• Doctor-directed antibiotic eye therapy

• Use Moxigram 5 mL Eye Drop only in the eye, exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Wash your hands before and after using the drop.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye without touching the dropper tip.
• Close the eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after instilling the drop.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Do not wear contact lenses during an active eye infection unless your doctor says it is okay.

Moxigram 5 mL Eye Drop is supplied as a 5 mL eye-drop bottle, not as an oral dose. The exact number of drops and how often to use them depends on the infection and your doctor’s instructions; there is no one-size-fits-all dose for every patient. Do not use more often or for longer than prescribed, even if symptoms improve quickly.

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
• Mild eye irritation or redness
• Blurry vision for a short time after use
• Watery eyes
• Eye discomfort
• Unpleasant taste in the mouth after the drop

• Use only for bacterial eye infections; it will not treat viral or allergic eye problems.
• Tell your doctor if you have ever had an allergy to moxifloxacin or other quinolone antibiotics.
• Remove contact lenses before using the drop and ask when you can restart them.
• Temporary blurred vision can affect driving or machine use right after dosing.
• Use extra caution if you have a history of tendon problems, heart rhythm problems, or severe drug allergies.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye, fingers, or any surface to avoid contamination.
• Complete the full course unless your doctor tells you to stop.

• Other eye drops or eye ointments, which may need to be spaced apart by 5 to 10 minutes
• Contact lens products, which can worsen irritation during infection
• Other medicines that can affect heart rhythm if your doctor is considering your full medication list
• Any other antibiotics you are taking, so your doctor can judge whether they are appropriate
• Steroid eye drops, which should only be combined if prescribed

Store Moxigram 5 mL Eye Drop at room temperature, keep the bottle tightly closed, and protect it from contamination and excessive heat or light as directed on the package insert.
