About BESIVANCE EYE DROPS 5ML
BESIVANCE EYE DROPS 5ML belongs to the class of ophthalmic medications called fluoroquinolone antibiotics, primarily used to treat bacterial infections, including conjunctivitis/pink eye. Conjunctivitis is the infection of the outer white membrane of the eyeball. This infection is highly contagious and can pass from one person to another.
