eye drops ## would like to know side effects,and iif taken longer then prescribed would it be harmful ## The correct drug name is Vigamox, these drops contain Moxifloxacin, an antibiotic agent. Some of the most common side effects include: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. If they are misused, antibiotic resistance can develop, so you should only use them for the length of time your doctor instructed.

DOES vIGAMOX HAVE A TAN TOP PRESCRIPTION? tHE BOX IT COMES IN IS A DARK RED? ## Vigamox contains the active ingredient Moxifloxacin, i tis an antibiotic eye drop. And yes, from the images, the cap to the bottle is a tan, or off white color and the box is red. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I'm taking Vigamox eye drops for cataract surgery. I've started having itching of my hands and feet. I don't know if they are related but when I took Clindamycin once I broke out with a rash. Are these drugs similar?

I am having cataract surgey. My Dr put me on 4 different eye drops. They were very expensive. Are they really necessary for this surgery? ## Hi Mary, May I ask the names of all 4 eye drops you were prescribed? If I know what you have, I will be able to do some research and answer your question to the best of my ability. ## Moxifloxacin + Ketorolac + Prednisolone + Brimonidine Very expensive... Who is the best discount prescription plan like GoodRx, which I find also pretty expensive and sometimes more expensive than single care?

July 19th battery acid got in my eye. Have been on many meds, but am now only on Vigamox drops and doxy-cycl hyc 50mg cap mutual. Was told I had Roseacea. Am I on the right track to healing? ## Hi Mae, I'm very sorry to hear about the battery acid incident with your eye. I couldn't even begin to fathom how that might've felt, but one thing that doesn't add up in my mind is how rosacea (i.e. reddening or swelling of the skin) correlates with battery acid in your eye..? Did some of the acid get on your face/skin too? Vigamox (moxifloxacin) on the other hand is used to treat bacterial infections in the eyes, so that to me seems like an appropriate course of action if an infection has been confirmed. Doxycycline is also used to treat a variety of bacterial infections...where...

can i use zymaxid in place of vigamox? ## They are two different medications, though they treat the same conditions. Zymaxid contains Gatofloxacin and Vigamox contains Moxifloxacin. Learn more Zymaxid details here. Learn more Vigamox details here. Your pharmacy can't just make a switch though, your doctor would have to approve it. There might be a reason they prefer one over the other, since some are found to be better at treating certain conditions. Which one have you been prescribed? ## My 21 month old son has a bacterial eye infection & was prescribed Vigamox. However the insurance pharmacy I go to only covers Zymacid & I am very hesitant in using it & am just thinking of purchasing the eye drops.
