Question 1

can vigamox be given to two year old?

Yes, dosed on age: General dosing: children ≥1 year and adults: vigamox®: instill 1 drop into affected eye(s) 3 times daily for 7 days.

Question 2

how long does vigamox last in medicine cabinet?

Accepted Answer

Expiration date: There should be an expiration date somewhere on the bottle. To be honest, though, i wouldn't push it with eye drops. If it's been more than a few weeks since you opened the bottle and used them, i wouldn't put the drops in my eyes. And never use someone else's medicine.

Question 3

vigamox for swimmers ear?

Accepted Answer

Not a good choice: It is not a good choice as it is expensive, comes in 3ml bottle and cost about 80 to 100 dollars.There are better and cheaper choices for treating swimmers ears.Talk to your doctors.

Question 4

is vigamox good for the pink eyes?

Accepted Answer

Vigamox: Vigamox is a good broad spectrum antibiotic and should be an excellent choice for prophylaxis/treatment for conjunctivitis (pink eye).  It tends to be expensive though.  Using artificial tears over-the-counter can also improve comfort.

Question 5

vigamox for kids swimmers ear?

Accepted Answer

no: This medication is designed, tested and approved for treatment of  eye disease.

Question 6

can you use vigamox drops in the ear?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can but cost: Even though these are made for use in the eyes but it can be used in the ear
but the problem is it comes in 3ml bottle and you use 1 drop in eye three times a day.But you need a larger volume for years as much as 3to 4 drops and it finishes pretty fast and you need to get refill faster and it is very expensive about 80 dollars for 3 ml.Generic antibiotic ear drops are effective and much cheaper.

Question 7

can i use polysprine eye drops with vigamox that was prescribed by my dr?  im on day 7 with no change in my condition

Accepted Answer

See physician: Whenever an eye infection is not responding to treatment within a couple days, it's important to see an eye specialist. Sometimes this indicates a serious viral infection or a resistant bacterial infection that could cause damage to the eye. Also possibility of allergy or sensitivity reaction to the drops being used. Contact your physician to be reexamined or referred.

Question 8

what to do if i have rash on face after using vigamox eye drops?

Accepted Answer

Possible: topical  allergy is possible or it may not be to vigamox at all.  Typical of an allergic reaction is significant itch to the rash.  One eye or both?  The eyelids usually are swollen and very itchy.  Of course stopping the drops helps but your doctor should be able to give an ointment to sop the itch and the swelling.

Question 9

how long does it take to get rid of conjunctivitis when treating it with vigamox?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on the cause of the conjunctivitis. Bacterial conjunctivitis due to an organism susceptible to vigamox should clear up in a few days. However, viral conjuctivitis, often confused with bacterial conjunctivitis, can take as long as 2 weeks.

Question 10

the doc prescribed vigamox to my father 4 times a day for 3 weeks and i've been mistakenly giving it to him every 4 hours for a week now, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Tell your doc: You can probably just continue with original instructions and finish treatment course.   But I would tell your father's doctor right away to get his take on it.
