Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Vigamox Work?

Moxifloxacin, the active ingredient in Vigamox, works by inhibiting bacterial enzymes (DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV) that are essential for bacterial DNA replication and cell division. By disrupting these processes, it effectively kills bacteria and treats the infection.

Common Dosages

  • 0.5% moxifloxacin ophthalmic solution

Typical Dosing

  • The usual dosing for bacterial conjunctivitis is one drop in the affected eye(s) 3 times daily for 7 days. Continue using the drops for the full prescribed course, even if symptoms improve before the course is completed.

Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye) caused by susceptible strains of bacteria.

Who Shouldn't Take Vigamox?

  • Known hypersensitivity to moxifloxacin, other fluoroquinolones, or any components of the formulation.

Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Wash your hands before and after applying the eye drops to prevent contamination.
  • To apply the drops, tilt your head back, pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket, and place one drop in the affected eye(s). Close your eyes gently and press on the inner corner of your eye for about 1 minute to prevent the drop from draining.
  • Do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface, including your eye, to avoid contamination.
  • If you are using other eye drops, wait at least 5 minutes between each type of eye drop.
  • Continue using Vigamox for the full prescribed duration, even if your symptoms improve earlier, to ensure the infection is fully treated.

Side Effects of Vigamox

Common Side Effects

  • Eye irritation (burning, stinging, redness)
  • Dry eyes
  • Temporary blurred vision

Uncommon/Severe Side Effects

  • Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing)
  • Eye pain or severe discomfort
  • Vision changes

Risks and Warnings of Vigamox

  • Allergic Reactions: Patients who are allergic to fluoroquinolone antibiotics should avoid using Vigamox. Discontinue use and seek medical attention if you experience signs of an allergic reaction, such as swelling, itching, or difficulty breathing.
  • Contact Lens Use: Do not wear contact lenses while using Vigamox for bacterial conjunctivitis, as the lenses may worsen irritation or spread the infection. Wait until the infection has cleared and you have finished the full course of treatment before resuming contact lens use.

Interactions with Vigamox

Common Drug Interactions

  • Other ophthalmic medications: If you are using other prescription or over-the-counter eye drops or ointments, wait at least 5 minutes between applying each medication.
  • Systemic fluoroquinolones: Using Vigamox alongside other systemic fluoroquinolone antibiotics does not usually lead to interactions, but always inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are taking.
