Works. However, works by interfering with DNA action. Side effects can show up two weeks to two years plus after use seemingly even with these eye drops. Classified as an antibiotic to use only when others have failed. NEVER give to kids because their cartilage is still growing. Avoid use in athletes. Do not give to old people 70+60+yr.

Classified as an antibiotic to use only when others have failed. NEVER give to kids because their cartilage is still growing. Avoid use in athletes. Do not give to old people 70+60+yr. Expensive because many uses have been banned and numerous similar versions have been pulled from the market. Extreme caution is advised.

Works well to fight the bacteria, also fights your wallet. The 3ml bottle sells for over $86...multiply that by 3 people in the house with pink eye and you have $265 in very expensive eye drops.

Do not use, especially on kids! This antibiotic is much more expensive than others that usually work $95 vs $6, and this type of antibiotic has side effects including death, induced arthritis (in rabbits), and negative impacts that show up six weeks to a year later.

Do not use, especially on kids! This antibiotic is much more expensive than others that usually work $95 vs $6, and this type of antibiotic has side effects including death, induced arthritis (in rabbits), and negative impacts that show up six weeks to a year later. The antibiotic works by disrupting DNA. It has been pulled from market due to these risks for most other applications. If your genetics are at risk - like I was - the damage can be severe - my muscles locked up 5 weeks after use of "a few drops per day af a fluid that stung the eye". I was hunched over for two months until chiro and rmt could get me straight again. Around that time my tendons and plica did funny things - 11 months later my knee meniscus ripped in several locations for not very good reason. If you do your research, include this whole drug class - I no longer trust some of these sites. Several people are making money on these high priced drops. EVEN it is an antibiotic of LAST resort for the not limited use applications. Even if your drug plan will pay for this $$$ - think again, my kids pink eye were easily treated with gentamicin for one and tobramycin by another. IF you hear that your eyes are worth more money-run. ELSE you will be like me. Note - for some people this may be needed as a last resort-but unlikely. Do NOT risk it. Do a wiki search on fluoroquinalone before you risk lots for a few crummy drops of this moxifloxacin hydrochloride 0.5% - I wish I had. PS perhaps take calcium and magnesium after treatment is done to mop up any leftovers. SAM-e may also help DNA recovery but I hope it doesn't come to that for you - or your kids.

Severe musculoskeletal side effects showed up 6 weeks later, continue for over one year, and still not solved. Web searches after showed risk of this drug class is very high. Would not recommend unless other (normal) pink eye antibiotics do not work. Cost of this drug was over $50, while other types cost less than $5 for my kids. This antibiotic class is a Use of last resort type - do not use it. ... Show Full Comment
