What is the dosing for Vigamox?

The recommended dosing for Vigamox, which is an antibiotic eye drop used to treat bacterial conjunctivitis, is indeed 1 drop 3 times a day for 7 days. This regimen allows for effective treatment by maintaining therapeutic levels of the medication in the affected area while also managing the infection adequately over a week-long course.

This dosing schedule takes into consideration the pharmacokinetics of the drug, allowing for sustained antibacterial activity throughout the duration of treatment. It's important to follow this specific dosing to ensure that the infection is fully treated and to minimize the risk of developing antibiotic resistance.

Other dosing regimens in the options either under-dose or do not maintain adequate frequency to clear the infection effectively. For example, once-daily dosing may not provide sufficient exposure to the antibiotic, and hourly dosing would be impractical and may lead to over-medication or adverse effects. The 2 drops twice a day option does not offer the consistent antibacterial presence that 3 times a day does over the course of treatment.
