This medicine is used to treat eye infections (conjunctivitis) caused by bacteria. The active ingredient is moxifloxacin, an ophthalmic anti-infective.

Do not store or reuse this medicine. If you have any leftover antibiotic after completing the treatment, return it to the pharmacy for proper disposal. Do not throw away medicines via wastewater or household waste.

- Wash your hands.
- Take a strip of single-dose containers from the aluminum bag and separate one single-dose container. (Figure 1).
- Open the single-dose container by twisting the top end. (Figure 2).
- Tilt your head slightly backward, look up, and gently pull the lower eyelid down with your finger.
- Apply one drop into the lower conjunctival sac by gently squeezing the lower part of the container (Figure 3).
- Close your eyes slowly and press your finger against the inner corner of the eye for 2-3 minutes. This will prevent the drop from entering the tear duct and going down the throat, so most of the drop will remain in the eye (Figure 4).
- Discard the single-dose container after use.
- Put the remaining single-dose containers back in the aluminum bag and close it by folding the edge. Put the bag inside the box. If there are single-dose containers left 3 months after opening the bag, they should be discarded properly.
The contents of one single-dose container are sufficient for application in both eyes.
Do not touch the dropper tip to the eye or eyelid, surrounding areas, or other surfaces. You could infect the eye drops.
If you apply drops to both eyes, wash your hands before repeating steps 1-6 for the other eye.This will prevent the spread of infection from one eye to the other.
A new single-dose container should be used for each application.
If a drop falls outside the eye, try again.
If you have applied more moxifloxacin than you should, you can remove it by rinsing your eyes with warm water. Do not apply more drops until it is time for the next dose.
If you accidentally swallow this medicine, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
If you forget to use this medicine, continue with the next scheduled dose. Do notapply a double dose to make up for the missed dose.
If you are using other eye drops, wait at least 5 minutes between applying this medicine and the other drops.
Duration of use
The infection usually improves within 5 days. If you do not see an improvement, consult your doctor. You should continue using the drops for 2-3 days more or for the entire period indicated by your doctor.
If you have any further questions about the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
