Moxifloxacin belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics. Each moxifloxacin tablet contains 400mg of the active ingredient. It is used for community-acquired pneumonia, acute sinusitis and skin and soft tissue infection. Bayer is the originator company, and Avalox is another name for it.
Moxifloxacin blocks bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes needed for bacterial replication, repair and transcription. Do not use it during pregnancy or breast-feeding, after a hypersensitivity reaction to moxifloxacin, or if a fluoroquinolone has previously caused a tendon disorder. It is not recommended for children or adolescents. Seek immediate medical attention for tendon rupture, severe or fatal hypersensitivity reaction or QT interval prolongation; watch for tendon pain or swelling. It may affect driving or machinery use, and direct sun or UV exposure should be avoided. Antacids, iron- or zinc-containing multivitamins, and warfarin can interact with it.
