Safely Buy Vigamox ( Moxifloxacin ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Vigamox is a topical ophthalmic medication used to treat bacterial eye infections.

Moxifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits an essential aspect of the replication and repair of bacterial DNA. Thanks to this action, Vigamox helps treat infections caused by various strains of bacteria when applied topically to your eyes. This drug also functions differently than other types of antibiotics which means it may be effective at treating bacteria that is resistant to other treatment methods.
