Let's take a minute to talk about your medication.

This is moxifloxacin eye drops. It is an antibiotic eye drop that helps to treat infections caused by bacteria. You should use them exactly as directed by your doctor, and only when they are prescribed.

To use the eye drops, wash your hands and shake the bottle well. Then, make a small pocket in your lower eyelid by gently pulling down or pinching the skin. Lastly, hold the bottle above your eye and gently squeeze a drop into the pocket. It is important to continue using this medicine for as long as your doctor tells you to, even if your eye starts to feel better. 

Most people tolerate this medicine well. You could have blurry vision, a feeling that something is in your eye, or a slight burning sensation. You may also have redness, itching, or pain in your eye. These are normal if they are mild, and should go away. You should tell your doctor if they don't go away, or if you have unusual changes to your eye. 

As with any medicine, rare but serious side effects could occur. You should read the Patient Information Sheet to know which symptoms to watch for and when to report changes. Also, you should call your doctor right away if your condition ever seems worse instead of better.

It's important to keep the bottle tip free from germs. So, don't let the tip touch anything, and keep it tightly covered when not in use. If you wear contact lenses, do not wear them while you have signs and symptoms of an infection.

Moxifloxacin can potentially interact with other medicines. You should always check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any other medicines.

Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should talk with their doctor before using moxifloxacin.

For best results, use moxifloxacin exactly as prescribed by your doctor and store your bottle at room temperature.
