Overview
Moximac 400 contains moxifloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used for selected susceptible bacterial infections. It is not effective against viral illnesses. Due to potentially serious class adverse effects and heart-rhythm risk, its use requires an individual clinical assessment.
What it is used for
A clinician may prescribe moxifloxacin for certain community-acquired respiratory infections, skin and soft-tissue infections, or complicated intra-abdominal infections when appropriate. Choice should reflect culture findings, local resistance and availability of safer alternatives.
How it works
Moxifloxacin blocks bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. Inhibiting these enzymes prevents DNA replication and repair, killing susceptible bacteria.
How to take it
Take exactly as directed, with or without food and with water. Complete the prescribed course unless a serious reaction requires immediate discontinuation and medical review. Separate products containing magnesium, aluminium, iron or zinc according to the leaflet because they reduce absorption.
Common side effects
Nausea, diarrhoea, headache, dizziness, abdominal discomfort and altered liver tests may occur.
When to seek urgent medical help
Stop and seek urgent advice for tendon pain or rupture, new numbness or burning, marked weakness, severe mood or neurological changes, seizure, serious rash, allergic swelling, persistent or bloody diarrhoea, jaundice, fainting, palpitations or an irregular heartbeat.
Warnings and precautions
Moxifloxacin shares fluoroquinolone warnings for disabling tendon, nerve and central-nervous-system reactions and worsening myasthenia gravis. It can prolong the QT interval. Extra caution is required with rhythm disorders, low potassium or magnesium, liver disease, seizures, diabetes, aortic aneurysm risk, corticosteroids, older age, pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Interactions
Review antiarrhythmics and other medicines that prolong QT, corticosteroids, warfarin, diabetes medicines, NSAIDs, antacids and mineral supplements. Unlike levofloxacin, moxifloxacin generally does not need renal dose adjustment, but overall suitability still requires clinical review.
Missed dose
Follow the patient leaflet or prescriber's instructions. If it is almost time for the next scheduled dose, do not take a double dose to compensate. Ask a pharmacist or prescriber if unsure.
Storage
Store in the original package at room temperature, away from excessive moisture and heat, and out of children's reach.
