Moxifloxacin 400mg Tablets
SKU GME636Product Introduction
Oral moxifloxacin treats selected susceptible bacterial infections, including some respiratory infections. Its systemic fluoroquinolone risks mean it is not a routine choice for every minor infection.
How to use
Take the prescribed tablet with water, with or without food. Keep aluminium or magnesium antacids, iron, zinc and multivitamins separated: major labels specify at least four hours before or eight hours after these products.
How it works
Inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV disrupts DNA replication and repair.
Side effects
Nausea, diarrhoea, dizziness and headache can occur; tendon injury, neuropathy and QT-related arrhythmias are serious risks.
Important information
Tell your doctor about long-QT syndrome, low potassium or magnesium, tendon disorders, myasthenia gravis and corticosteroid use. Oral moxifloxacin is not a routine treatment for a urinary infection.
Uses
- Selected susceptible bacterial respiratory, skin or other infections under the applicable label
Benefits
Provides systemic antibacterial activity when the benefits justify fluoroquinolone treatment.
Does it routinely treat urinary tract infection?
It is not a routine UTI antibiotic; selection should follow the infection site and applicable prescribing guidance.
What should I do about tendon pain?
Stop treatment and contact the prescriber promptly; avoid exercise involving the painful area.
Can I take an iron multivitamin with the tablet?
Separate mineral-containing products because they can markedly reduce absorption.
Can it affect heart rhythm?
Yes. Fainting or palpitations needs urgent assessment, especially with other QT-prolonging medicines.
Can it cause persistent nerve symptoms?
Fluoroquinolone neuropathy can persist; new burning, numbness or weakness should be reported immediately.
Are steroids relevant to tendon risk?
Yes. Corticosteroids can increase the risk of tendon injury.
Does it work against colds?
No. Viral illness is not an indication for moxifloxacin.
Can I repeat an old course without testing?
No. Recurrent symptoms need reassessment and may require a different antibiotic or no antibiotic.
QT prolongation: delayed electrical recovery of the heart. Neuropathy: nerve dysfunction.
