Vigamox is a prescription antibiotic eye drop that contains the active ingredient moxifloxacin. It is used to treat bacterial conjunctivitis, commonly called bacterial pink eye.
Bacterial conjunctivitis develops when bacteria infect the conjunctiva, which is the thin, clear tissue covering the white part of the eye and the inside of the eyelid.
Bacterial conjunctivitis may affect one or both eyes. Common symptoms can include:
Symptoms can look similar to viral or allergic conjunctivitis, so a healthcare provider may need to examine the eye to determine the cause.
Vigamox is used when bacterial conjunctivitis is caused by bacteria that are susceptible to moxifloxacin. “Susceptible” means the bacteria can be controlled or killed by the medication.
A healthcare provider may consider the patient’s symptoms, medical history, eye examination, and local patterns of bacterial resistance before prescribing treatment.
Vigamox belongs to a group of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones.
Bacteria need enzymes called DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV to copy, repair, and organize their genetic material. Moxifloxacin blocks these enzymes.
Without functioning DNA enzymes, the bacteria cannot reproduce or repair themselves properly. This eventually causes the bacterial cells to die and allows the infection to clear.
Vigamox only treats infections caused by susceptible bacteria. It does not treat:
Using an antibiotic when it is not needed will not improve a non-bacterial eye condition and may contribute to antibiotic resistance.
Some symptoms may begin to improve within the first few days of treatment. Redness, discharge, and eyelid crusting may gradually decrease as the infection clears.
Continue using Vigamox for the full length of time prescribed, even if the eye begins to look or feel better. Stopping treatment too early may allow some bacteria to survive, causing the infection to return.
Bacterial conjunctivitis can spread through direct contact with eye discharge or contaminated items.
To help reduce the spread of infection:
Discard or replace contact lenses, lens cases, or eye makeup that may have been contaminated.
Contact your healthcare provider if your symptoms do not improve, become worse, or return after treatment.
Seek prompt medical care if you develop:
These symptoms may indicate a more serious eye condition that requires additional evaluation.
Use Vigamox exactly as prescribed. Do not share the eye drops with another person, even if they have similar symptoms.
Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye, eyelid, fingers, or another surface. This helps prevent contamination of the bottle and reduces the risk of introducing new bacteria into the eye.
Vigamox is a prescription antibiotic eye drop used to treat bacterial conjunctivitis, commonly known as bacterial pink eye. Use it exactly as directed by your healthcare provider.
Wash your hands
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling the eye drops.
Prepare the bottle
Remove the cap. Vigamox is a solution and usually does not need to be shaken unless your pharmacist or product label tells you otherwise.
Do not touch the dropper tip with your fingers.
Position your head
Tilt your head back and look upward.
Create a small pocket
Use a clean finger to gently pull down your lower eyelid. This will create a small pocket between your eye and lower eyelid.
Apply the eye drop
Hold the bottle above your eye. Be careful not to let the dropper tip touch your eye, eyelid, eyelashes, fingers, or any other surface.
Gently squeeze one drop into the lower eyelid pocket.
Close your eye
Close your eye gently. Do not blink repeatedly or squeeze your eyelids tightly.
Lightly press a finger against the inner corner of your eye, near your nose, for about one to two minutes. This can help keep the medication in your eye and reduce the amount that drains into your nose or throat.
Treat the other eye if directed
Repeat the same steps for the other eye only if your healthcare provider instructed you to treat both eyes.
Replace the cap
Replace the cap securely after use. Do not rinse or wipe the dropper tip.
Use Vigamox for the full length of time prescribed, even if your symptoms begin to improve. Stopping treatment too early may allow the infection to return and may contribute to antibiotic resistance.
Do not share your eye drops with anyone else. Sharing the bottle may spread infection or contaminate the medication.
Avoid wearing contact lenses while you have signs of an eye infection unless your healthcare provider tells you it is safe.
Store Vigamox according to the instructions on the prescription label, away from excess heat and moisture.
Vigamox (Moxifloxacin) is available in the following forms and strength:
Vigamox is intended only for use in the eyes. Do not swallow the medication, inject it, or apply it to the skin.
Do not use Vigamox if you are allergic to moxifloxacin, another quinolone antibiotic, or any ingredient in the eye drops.
Stop using Vigamox and seek immediate medical attention if you develop signs of a serious allergic reaction, such as:
Serious allergic reactions can occur even after a single dose.
Using Vigamox for longer than prescribed may allow bacteria or fungi that are not affected by the medication to grow. This is sometimes called a secondary infection or superinfection.
Contact your healthcare provider if your symptoms become worse, do not improve, or return after treatment. Do not continue using the drops longer than prescribed without medical advice.
Do not wear contact lenses while you have signs or symptoms of bacterial conjunctivitis. Contact lenses may irritate the eye, interfere with healing, or become contaminated.
Ask your healthcare provider when it is safe to wear contact lenses again. You may also need to replace or disinfect your lenses, lens case, and related supplies. The official prescribing information does not simply recommend waiting 15 minutes after each dose; it advises avoiding contact lenses while symptoms of bacterial conjunctivitis are present.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding before using Vigamox.
Only a small amount of moxifloxacin is expected to reach the bloodstream after being applied to the eye. However, your healthcare provider will consider the potential benefits and risks before recommending treatment.
Vigamox may temporarily cause blurred vision, reduced visual clarity, or other visual disturbances.
Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform activities that require clear vision until your eyesight has returned to normal. Contact your healthcare provider if blurred vision is severe, continues, or becomes worse.
Possible eye-related side effects include dryness, redness, discomfort, itching, pain, tearing, reduced visual clarity, and inflammation of the cornea, known as keratitis.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop severe eye pain, increasing redness, significant swelling, light sensitivity, worsening vision, or symptoms that do not improve.
Retinal detachment is not listed as a specific warning for Vigamox ophthalmic solution in the official prescribing information. However, sudden flashes of light, many new floaters, a curtain-like shadow, or sudden vision loss require emergency eye care, regardless of which medication you are using.
Because Vigamox is applied directly to the eye and has low absorption into the bloodstream, significant medication interactions are not generally expected. However, tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medicines, non-prescription products, vitamins, supplements, herbal products, and other eye medications you use.
When using more than one eye medication, ask your doctor or pharmacist how much time to leave between products.
No. Vigamox is an antibiotic and only works against certain bacterial eye infections. It does not treat viral conjunctivitis, allergic conjunctivitis, or other non-bacterial causes of eye redness.
Do not wear contact lenses while you have symptoms of bacterial conjunctivitis. Contact lenses may irritate the eye, slow healing, or become contaminated. Ask your healthcare provider when it is safe to wear your lenses again. You may also need to replace or disinfect your lenses, case, and related supplies before using them.
Store Vigamox at room temperature, away from excess heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep the bottle tightly closed when it is not in use. Do not allow the dropper tip to touch your eye, fingers, or any other surface. Keep the medication out of the reach of children and pets.
Vigamox is approved to treat bacterial conjunctivitis caused by susceptible bacteria. It should not be used for another eye condition unless a healthcare provider recommends it. Eye redness, pain, discharge, or blurred vision can have many causes. A healthcare provider may need to examine the eye before deciding whether Vigamox is the appropriate treatment.
