Looking for a moxifloxacin (Vigamox) coupon? Moxifloxacin hydrochloride ophthalmic solution is the generic version of the brand-name eye drops Vigamox and Moxeza, prescribed to treat bacterial pink eye (conjunctivitis). Because it is available as a generic, it is already one of the lower-cost fluoroquinolone eye drops, but the cash price can still vary widely from one pharmacy to the next. Rx.com compares moxifloxacin prices across more than 60,000 U.S. pharmacies so you can find the lowest price near you and use a free discount coupon at the register. Enter your ZIP above to see today's price at pharmacies close to you.
What is moxifloxacin ophthalmic and how does it work?
Moxifloxacin hydrochloride ophthalmic solution is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic given as eye drops. It is FDA-approved to treat bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye) caused by susceptible bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae. It works by stopping the bacteria that cause the infection from growing and multiplying.
It is the generic form of the brand eye drops Vigamox (0.5%, approved for patients 1 year and older) and Moxeza (0.5%, approved for patients 4 months and older). Doctors also sometimes use it off-label around eye surgery, such as cataract surgery. This page describes its FDA-approved use for bacterial pink eye; your provider will decide whether it is right for you.
How much does moxifloxacin cost without insurance?
Because moxifloxacin is available as a generic, it is generally more affordable than the brand-name versions, but the cash price without insurance can still differ a lot depending on which pharmacy you use. That is exactly why comparing matters. Rx.com checks live prices at more than 60,000 pharmacies and gives you a free discount coupon you can show at the pharmacy counter, whether or not you have insurance.

Moxifloxacin vs. other antibiotic eye drops
Moxifloxacin is one of several fluoroquinolone antibiotic eye drops used for eye infections. If your prescription is for the brand version, you can compare pricing on Vigamox and Moxeza. Other fluoroquinolone eye drops in the same class include:
- ofloxacin ophthalmic
- ciprofloxacin ophthalmic
- gatifloxacin ophthalmic
- levofloxacin ophthalmic
These are not interchangeable, and only your prescriber can decide which drug and strength fit your situation. If you have a prescription, you can compare the cash price of each on Rx.com to see which offers the best price near you.
Safety and important information
Moxifloxacin ophthalmic solution is for use in the eye only. It should never be injected into the eye or introduced into the anterior chamber. The ophthalmic form carries no boxed warning. Stop using it and contact your provider at the first sign of a skin rash or an allergic (hypersensitivity) reaction; serious, and rarely fatal, allergic reactions have been reported with fluoroquinolones taken by mouth or by injection. Prolonged use may allow other germs, including fungi, to grow.
Do not wear contact lenses if you have signs or symptoms of bacterial conjunctivitis. To keep the medicine clean, avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye or any surface. The class-wide warnings seen with fluoroquinolone pills and injections (such as tendon rupture, aortic problems, and nerve effects) are not expected with these eye drops because very little of the drug is absorbed into the body. This information is not medical advice; talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific situation.
