Moxifloxacin ophthalmic for Ophthalmic Surgery Reviews

Vigamox (moxifloxacin) "I used Vigamox for cataract surgery. It has serious side effects that even doctors are unaware of. I got ringing in my ears and tingling in my hands, feet, and legs. I also got leg pain. The tingling is a symptom that irreversible peripheral neuropathy may start to occur. Six weeks later, I still have the ringing in my ears and tingling. If you get any tingling, stop this drug immediately."


Vigamox (moxifloxacin) "After cataract surgery took Vigamox and two other eyedrops. I have had difficulty urinating and some burning in the urethra . I did some research and found that this was a possible, but not common side effect. It's been two weeks so I will stop this medication, it's almost gone anyway, and see what happens."


Vigamox (moxifloxacin) "I was welding with an electric welding and got foreign body in the eye. Vigamox was prescribed by doctor after removing foreign body and doing eye cleaning. The treatment is a drop every 4 hours and the side effects I'm getting is a lot of headache pressure, heaviness in the eye and pain. I'm just on the first day of treatment and I need to keep using the treatment as recommended by the doctor for 7 days"
