Moxifloxacin is a 4th generation synthetic broad spectrum, fluoroquinolone class of antibacterial drug. It has activity against a wide range of gram-positive, gram-negative, anaerobic and atypical bacteria including Mycoplasma pneumoniae. It acts by inhibiting topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase) and topoisomerase IV which are necessary for bacterial DNA replication, transcription & repair.
Moxifloxacin absorption is decreased when administered with antacids, sucralfate, multivitamins, and multivalent cations (e.g. iron or zinc). Moxifloxacin may enhance the risk of convulsions with NSAIDs and bleeding with warfarin. So concomitant use of Moxifloxacin with them should be avoided.
Common side effects of Moxifloxacin include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache and dizziness.
