Prednisolone/moxifloxacin is a compounded ophthalmic eye drop that combines a steroid (prednisolone) with an antibiotic (moxifloxacin) in one bottle, most often prescribed after cataract or other eye surgery. Because it's prepared by compounding pharmacies rather than sold as a single mass-manufactured product, pricing varies a lot by pharmacy — enter your ZIP above to compare today's price near you.
What Is Prednisolone/Moxifloxacin and How Does It Work?
This combination pairs prednisolone, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, with moxifloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that helps prevent or treat bacterial eye infection. Each ingredient is individually FDA-approved as its own eye-drop product, but the fixed combination itself is a compounded preparation made by a compounding pharmacy rather than an FDA-approved fixed-dose product. It's typically used post-operatively, for example after cataract surgery, to manage inflammation and infection risk with fewer separate bottles for the patient to keep track of.
Comparing Prices for a Compounded Eye Drop
- Compounded medications aren't reviewed or approved by the FDA the way manufactured generics are, and they aren't assigned an AB-rating or treated as substitutable equivalents of any single-ingredient branded product.
- Because different compounding pharmacies formulate this combination at their own concentrations and prices, cost can vary widely from one pharmacy to the next.

Alternatives to This Combination
Some prescribers use the individual eye drops separately instead of a compounded combination — for example moxifloxacin ophthalmic solution alone for infection prevention alongside a separate steroid drop like prednisolone acetate ophthalmic suspension. Whether a combined compound or separate drops make more sense depends on your surgeon's post-operative protocol.
Safety Information
Because this is a compounded product, quality and exact concentration can vary by compounding pharmacy, and it has not undergone FDA review for safety or effectiveness as a fixed combination. Steroid eye drops used for prolonged periods can raise eye pressure or contribute to cataract formation, and fluoroquinolone antibiotics carry their own set of precautions. Use exactly as your eye surgeon or ophthalmologist directs, and report any vision changes, eye pain, or worsening redness promptly. This is general information, not medical advice.
