Does Vigamox Interact With Ciprofloxacin And Moxifloxacin?

Good Afternoon, About to have lens implant surgery. Doctor prescribed Vigamox for my antibiotic eyedrop. It could be substituted with Ciloxan or Ciprofloxacin. The pharmacy substituted with Moxifloxacin. Is this the same or should I contact my surgeon?

Hi,

Vigamox is moxifloxacin. So you've actually received the drug you've been prescribed by your doctor, but probably a different brand.

You should be fine with it.
