Opomox Eye Drop

Opomox Eye Drop is a prescription eye antibiotic containing moxifloxacin in each eye drop, supplied by Medivaxia Pharma as a strip/box of 10 eye drops. It belongs to the fluoroquinolone class and is used to treat bacterial eye infections, especially bacterial conjunctivitis, when an eye doctor or prescriber thinks this treatment is appropriate. Opomox Eye Drop works only against susceptible bacteria and is not meant for viral or allergy-related eye irritation. Use exactly as directed for the full course, even if symptoms improve sooner.

How it works: Moxifloxacin stops bacteria from copying their DNA, which prevents the germs from multiplying and helps clear the infection. In eye-drop form, Opomox Eye Drop delivers the medicine right to the infected eye surface where it is needed most.

Opomox Eye Drop is the as-labelled moxifloxacin eye-drop strength sold as a standard single-form product, so there are no sibling strengths or alternate forms listed for this brand. That means this product is intended to fit the typical dosing a doctor prescribes for bacterial eye infection, rather than being one of several step-up or step-down strengths. A prescriber may choose Opomox Eye Drop because it delivers local antibiotic treatment directly to the eye with limited whole-body exposure.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Eye infection caused by susceptible bacteria
• Reduction of redness, discharge, and irritation from bacterial eye infection
• Doctor-directed treatment of bacterial eye symptoms

• Wash your hands before using Opomox 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, eyelid, or any surface.
• If you use more than one eye medicine, wait at least 5 minutes between products unless your prescriber says otherwise.
• Remove contact lenses before use and do not put them back in until your eye doctor says it is safe.
• Use the full prescribed course, even if the eye feels better after a few doses.

Opomox Eye Drop contains moxifloxacin as labeled in each eye drop, and the exact dose is the one your doctor prescribes for your infection. For bacterial eye infections, it is commonly used several times a day at first and may be reduced as treatment continues; the maximum daily number of drops depends on the prescriber’s instructions and the condition being treated. Because this is a prescription eye antibiotic, your doctor decides the schedule and duration based on your eye exam and response.

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 instillation
• Eye irritation or redness
• Bitter or unusual taste in the mouth
• Watery eyes
• Dry eye or mild discomfort
• Blurred vision for a short time after use

• Use Opomox Eye Drop only for bacterial eye infections, not for viral or allergy-related redness.
• Do not wear contact lenses during an active eye infection unless your eye doctor specifically tells you otherwise.
• If you develop eye pain, light sensitivity, or vision loss, get medical help promptly.
• Tell your prescriber if you have ever had an allergy to moxifloxacin or other fluoroquinolone antibiotics.
• If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or treating a child, use only under medical supervision.
• Do not use the bottle if the solution changes color, becomes cloudy, or the seal is damaged.
• Blurred vision may occur briefly after instillation, so be careful with driving or tasks requiring clear sight until vision clears.

• Other prescription eye drops or ointments used at the same time, which may need spacing apart
• Contact lens products and eye cosmetics, which can worsen irritation during infection
• Other fluoroquinolone antibiotics, due to allergy or prior intolerance concerns
• Medications that lower the seizure threshold or affect the nervous system, if systemic exposure or sensitivity is a concern
• Steroid eye drops, which should only be combined if specifically prescribed

Store Opomox Eye Drop at room temperature, tightly closed, and protect it from contamination and excessive heat or freezing.
