No, Vigamox (moxifloxacin) does not contain sulfa. It is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, specifically eye infections.

Can vigamox treat styes?

Vigamox (moxifloxacin) is an antibiotic eye drop used for treating bacterial eye infections, but it is not typically used to treat styes. Styes are usually caused by a blocked oil gland in the eyelid and can often resolve on their own or with warm compresses. If a stye is persistent or causing significant discomfort, it's best to see an eye doctor for appropriate treatment.


Can vigamox treat an eye stye?

Vigamox, an antibiotic eye drop containing moxifloxacin, is primarily used to treat bacterial conjunctivitis and other bacterial eye infections. While it may help if a stye (hordeolum) is caused by a bacterial infection, it is not typically the first line of treatment for styes. Warm compresses and over-the-counter pain relief are usually recommended for styes. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate diagnosis and treatment options.

What happens if you use eye ointments after expiration date?

I was told that you can probably use Vigamox up to 6 months after the expiration date and still have it do the job. I would err on the side of caution though, and replace it if the expiration has passed. As an antibiotic, the main risk of expired Rigamox is it won't kill the bacteria, or much of them, and most will become survivors that evolve better resistance to the drug.
