Yes. Vigamox is a brand-name for moxifloxacin ophthalmic solution 0.5%. The generic is simply moxifloxacin ophthalmic solution 0.5%.

Key points:
- Use: an antibiotic drop for bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye). Not for viral infections.
- Dosing (typical): 1 drop in the affected eye every 8 hours (about 3 times per day) for about 7 days, but follow your prescription.
- How to use: wash hands, tilt head, pull down lower lid, place a drop in the eye, close eyes gently, and avoid blinking. If you use more than one eye drop, wait several minutes between them.
- Warnings: Do not wear contact lenses while using; remove lenses if advised and reinsert after a suitable wait. Stop and contact a clinician if you have severe eye irritation, swelling, or a rash.
- Side effects: common are temporary burning, stinging, or redness; rare allergic reactions.
- Availability and cost: generic moxifloxacin ophthalmic solution is widely available and often cheaper than the brand; prices vary by pharmacy and insurance.
