Clinical Pharmacology

Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride is a member of the fluoroquinolone class of antibacterial agents

Non-Clinical Toxicology

Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride is contraindicated in persons with a history of hypersensitivity to moxifloxacin or any member of the quinolone class of antibacterials .

In obstetrics, if vasopressor drugs are used to correct hypotension or are added to a local anesthetic solution, some oxytocic drugs may cause severe persistent hypertension and may even cause rupture of a cerebral blood vessel to occur during the postpartum period.

Fluoroquinolones, including Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride, have been associated with disabling and potentially irreversible serious adverse reactions from different body systems that can occur together in the same patient. Commonly seen adverse reactions include tendinitis, tendon rupture, arthralgia, myalgia, peripheral neuropathy, and central nervous system effects (hallucinations, anxiety, depression, insomnia, severe headaches, and confusion). These reactions can occur within hours to weeks after starting Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride. Patients of any age or without pre-existing risk factors have experienced these adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( , , )].

Discontinue Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride immediately at the first signs or symptoms of any serious adverse reaction. In addition, avoid the use of fluoroquinolones, including Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride, in patients who have experienced any of these serious adverse reactions associated with fluoroquinolones.

The following serious and otherwise important adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in the warnings and precautions section of the label:
