Moxisurge 5 mL Eye Drop

Moxisurge 5 mL Eye Drop is a prescription eye drop containing moxifloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial eye infections. Each Moxisurge 5 mL Eye Drop container provides 5 mL of sterile ophthalmic solution for use in the eye. It is commonly prescribed for bacterial conjunctivitis and other doctor-diagnosed bacterial eye infections. This medicine does not treat viral or fungal eye infections.

How it works: Moxifloxacin works by blocking bacterial enzymes that bacteria need to copy and repair their DNA, so the germs cannot keep growing. As an eye drop, Moxisurge 5 mL Eye Drop delivers the antibiotic directly to the affected eye to help reduce the bacterial infection locally.

Moxisurge 5 mL Eye Drop is a single ophthalmic dropper bottle size, so it fits the typical short-course use of an eye antibiotic prescribed by a clinician. Because there are no other listed strengths or forms for this brand, the main difference is the 5 mL supply, which is chosen to provide enough medicine for the full treatment course without excess. The exact dosing schedule and treatment length depend on the infection being treated and your doctor’s instructions.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Doctor-diagnosed bacterial eye infection
• Red, pus-filled, or crusting bacterial eye symptoms
• Treatment of susceptible bacteria in the eye

• Wash your hands before and after using Moxisurge 5 mL Eye 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 your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes; do not blink hard or rub the eye.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drop and ask your doctor when you may put them back in.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Use Moxisurge 5 mL Eye Drop exactly as prescribed and finish the full course even if symptoms improve early.

Moxisurge 5 mL Eye Drop provides 5 mL of moxifloxacin ophthalmic solution in the bottle, and the amount used each time is measured in drops, not by swallowing. The usual frequency for moxifloxacin eye drops is set by the prescriber and may be more or less often depending on the infection, and there is no fixed maximum daily dose that should be self-adjusted by the patient. Your doctor decides the dose, how many times a day to use it, and how long to continue treatment for this specific eye-drop strength.

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

Common side effects of Moxifloxacin may include:

• Temporary eye irritation or burning after instillation
• Mild eye discomfort
• Blurred vision for a short time after use
• Dry eye or watery eye
• Bitter taste in the mouth after the drop reaches the tear duct
• Mild redness of the eye

• Use only in the eye; do not swallow Moxisurge 5 mL Eye Drop.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye, fingers, or any surface to avoid contamination.
• Contact lens wearers should avoid lenses during an active eye infection unless the prescriber says otherwise.
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of allergy to moxifloxacin or other fluoroquinolone antibiotics.
• Use caution if you notice blurred vision after instillation, and avoid driving until your vision is clear.
• Tell your doctor about seizure disorders, heart rhythm problems, or aortic aneurysm history before using this antibiotic.
• Use extra caution if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and only use it if your clinician says it is appropriate.

• Other eye medicines used at the same time may need spacing by several minutes.
• Oral or injectable fluoroquinolone antibiotics may increase the chance of additive side effects if used together.
• Corticosteroids can increase the risk of tendon problems when fluoroquinolones are used systemically; tell your clinician about steroid use.
• Antacids, iron, zinc, and calcium matter mainly for oral moxifloxacin, but mention them if you also take moxifloxacin by mouth.
• Warfarin or other blood thinners may require monitoring if you are using moxifloxacin in another form at the same time.

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