About MOXICIP SINGULES

MOXICIP SINGULES is used to treat bacterial eye infections. A bacterial eye infection occurs when bacteria invade any part of the eyeball or its surrounding tissues, including the cornea (clear front surface of the eye) and the conjunctiva (thin membrane lining the outer eye and inner eyelids).

MOXICIP SINGULES contains Moxifloxacin, which works by blocking bacteria's ability to copy their genetic material (DNA), preventing them from reproducing and ultimately killing them.

MOXICIP SINGULES may cause common side effects, such as dry eyes, watery eyes, eye pain or discomfort, blurred vision, redness, itching, and eye irritation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you have any eye or corneal problems or allergic reactions before starting MOXICIP SINGULES . Let your doctor know if you are planning to get pregnant, are pregnant or breastfeeding. MOXICIP SINGULES may cause blurred vision, which can affect your ability to drive; hence, drive only when your vision is clear.

Lifestyle changes
