The doctor advised to continue using Vigamox drop to avoid bacteria infection after 1 and half months. The ulcer has been recovered and the infected spot has become smaller and smaller. I was advised by a pharmacist not to use Vigamox for long term or after recovery.
Can anyone tell me how long can we use Vigamox for Ulcer infection?

If the advice to continue to use the eye drops has come from an eye specialist then you are probably safe to continue as instructed.
If the advice has come from your family health practitioner then you would be wise to seek the opinion of an eye specialist.
The recommended length of time for which Vigamox drops are used is 7 days.

Thank you Suzanne, the person who asked to continue the Vigamox is not an eye specialist, they are working in a government hospital. Some of them are doing their practical at the hospital. I come to know that we cann't use Vigamox for long term from two different pharmacist when I bought the eye drop from them. I was awared that the recommended length of time is 7 days.
