What is Moxifloxacin MSN and what is it used for

Moxifloxacin MSN contains the active substance moxifloxacin, which belongs to a group of
antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. Moxifloxacin MSN has a bactericidal effect on
bacteria that cause infections.
Moxifloxacin MSN is used in patients aged 18 and over to treat the following bacterial infections, if they are caused by bacteria susceptible to moxifloxacin. Moxifloxacin MSN can only be used to treat these infections if the use of commonly administered antibiotics is not possible or if they have been ineffective.
Sinusitis, acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis or community-acquired pneumonia (except for severe cases).
Mild or moderate upper genital tract infections (pelvic inflammatory disease), including fallopian tube infections and endometritis. Moxifloxacin MSN alone is not sufficient to treat this type of infection, so the doctor should prescribe an additional antibacterial agent to treat upper genital tract infections (see section 2. Important information before taking Moxifloxacin MSN, Warnings and precautions, Before starting treatment with Moxifloxacin MSN, consult a doctor or pharmacist).
If improvement occurs during treatment of the following bacterial infections due to the administration of Moxifloxacin MSN infusion solution, the doctor may also prescribe Moxifloxacin MSN tablets to complete the treatment: community-acquired pneumonia, skin and soft tissue infections. Moxifloxacin MSN tablets should not be used to initiate treatment for any type of skin and soft tissue infection or in severe pneumonia.

2. Important information before taking Moxifloxacin MSN

If the patient has any doubts about belonging to any of the described groups, they should contact their doctor.

When not to take Moxifloxacin MSN

  • In case of hypersensitivity to the active substance - moxifloxacin, other quinolone drugs or any of the other ingredients of the drug (listed in section 6).
  • During pregnancy and breastfeeding.
  • In patients under 18 years of age.
  • If the patient has a history of tendon disease related to treatment with other quinolone drugs (see section Warnings and precautions and section 4. Possible side effects).
  • If the patient has:
    • congenital or acquired abnormal heart rhythm (visible on the electrocardiogram (ECG)
  • recording of the heart's electrical activity);
    • electrolyte imbalance disorders (especially low potassium or magnesium levels in the blood);
    • very slow heart rate (bradycardia);
    • heart failure;
    • history of heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias) or
    • if the patient is taking drugs that may cause specific changes in the ECG recording (see section Moxifloxacin MSN and other drugs). Moxifloxacin MSN may cause changes in the ECG recording, known as QT interval prolongation, which means delayed conduction of electrical signals in the heart.
  • If the patient has liver disease or liver enzyme activity (aminotransferases) exceeding 5 times the upper limit of normal.

Warnings and precautions

Before taking the medicine
Do not take antibacterial drugs containing fluoroquinolone/quinolone, including Moxifloxacin MSN, if serious side effects have occurred in the past during the use of quinolone or fluoroquinolone. In such a situation, inform your doctor as soon as possible.

Before starting treatment with Moxifloxacin MSN, consult a doctor.

  • Moxifloxacin MSN may change the ECG recording of the heart, especially in women and the elderly. When taking drugs that lower potassium levels in the blood, consult a doctor before starting treatment with Moxifloxacin MSN (see also sections When not to take Moxifloxacin MSN and Moxifloxacin MSN and other drugs).
  • If the patient has ever experienced severe skin rash or skin peeling, blistering, and (or) ulcersafter taking moxifloxacin.
  • If the patient has epilepsyor conditions that may cause seizures, inform your doctor before starting treatment with Moxifloxacin MSN.
  • If the patient has or has had mental health problems, consult a doctor before starting treatment with Moxifloxacin MSN.
  • If the patient has myasthenia gravis(muscle weakness leading to weakness, and in severe cases, paralysis), taking Moxifloxacin MSN may exacerbate the symptoms of the disease. If this happens, consult a doctor immediately.
  • If the patient has been diagnosed with enlargement or "bulging" of a large blood vessel(aortic or peripheral aneurysm).
  • If the patient has experienced an aortic dissection episode(tear in the aortic wall).
  • If the patient has been diagnosed with heart valve problems(leaky heart valve).
  • If there is a family history of aortic aneurysm or aortic dissection, congenital heart valve problems, or other risk factors or predisposing conditions(e.g., connective tissue disorders, such as Marfan syndrome or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Turner syndrome, Sjögren's syndrome [autoimmune inflammatory disease], or vascular disorders, such as Takayasu arteritis, giant cell arteritis, Behçet's disease, high blood pressure, or atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis [joint disease], or endocarditis [heart infection]).
  • If the patient has diabetes, as moxifloxacin may increase the risk of changes in blood sugar levels.
  • If the patient or anyone in their family has a deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase(a rare inherited disease), inform your doctor, who will assess whether Moxifloxacin MSN is a suitable medicine.
  • If the patient has a complicated upper genital tract infection(e.g., tubo-ovarian abscess, ovarian abscess, or pelvic abscess), the doctor may consider intravenous administration of the drug, as treatment with Moxifloxacin MSN tablets is not appropriate.
  • In order to treat mild or moderate upper genital tract infections, the doctor should prescribe an additional antibacterial agent to the patient, in addition to Moxifloxacin MSN. If symptoms do not improve within the first 3 days of treatment, the patient should consult a doctor.

During treatment with Moxifloxacin MSN

  • If heart palpitations or irregular heartbeatoccur during treatment, inform your doctor immediately. They may order an ECG to check the heart rhythm.
  • Cardiac arrhythmia riskmay increase with increasing dose. Therefore, it is recommended to follow the prescribed dosage of the drug.
  • There is a small risk of severe, sudden allergic reactions(anaphylactic or anaphylactoid reactions) even after the first dose of the drug, with symptoms such as chest tightness, dizziness, nausea, or fainting, and a feeling of spinning when standing up. If these symptoms occur, stop taking the drug immediatelyand consult a doctor or seek medical help immediately.

Moxifloxacin MSN and seek medical advice.

  • Moxifloxacin MSN may cause liver inflammation with a rapid and severe course, which can lead to life-threatening liver failure (including fatal cases, see section 4. Possible side effects). If symptoms such as rapid deterioration of well-being, yellowing of the whites of the eyes, dark urine, itching of the skin, tendency to bleed, and disturbances of thinking or insomnia occur, consult a doctor before taking the next dose.
  • Severe skin reactionsSevere skin reactions have been reported during treatment with moxifloxacin, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP).
    • SJS/TEN may initially appear as red spots with a target-like appearance or round spots, often with blisters on the torso. They can also cause ulcers in the mouth, throat, nose, genitals, and eyes (red and swollen eyes). The onset of these severe skin rashes is often preceded by fever and/or flu-like symptoms. The rash can progress to widespread skin peeling and life-threatening complications or lead to death.
    • AGEP appears at the beginning of treatment as a red, peeling, generalized rash with papules and blisters, accompanied by fever. The most common location is localized mainly on skin folds, torso, and

upper limbs.
If a severe rash or any of these skin symptoms occur, stop taking moxifloxacin and consult a doctor or seek medical help immediately.

  • Quinolone antibiotics, including Moxifloxacin MSN, may cause seizures. If seizures occur, stop taking Moxifloxacin MSN immediately and consult a doctor.
  • Long-term, leading to disability and potentially irreversible serious side effectsFluoroquinolone and quinolone antibacterial agents, including Moxifloxacin MSN, have caused very rare but serious side effects, some of which are long-term (lasting months or years) or irreversible. These include tendon, muscle, and joint pain in the upper and lower limbs, difficulty walking, sensory disturbances such as tingling and numbness, paresthesia, sensory disturbances including visual, taste, and smell disturbances, depression, memory impairment, severe fatigue, and severe sleep disturbances. If any of these side effects occur after taking Moxifloxacin MSN, consult a doctor immediately before continuing treatment. The doctor will decide, in consultation with the patient, whether to continue treatment, also considering the use of an antibiotic from another class.
  • Rarely, nerve damage symptomsmay occur, such as pain, burning, tingling, numbness, and/or weakness, especially in the feet and legs or hands and arms. Stop taking Moxifloxacin MSN and consult a doctor immediately to avoid potentially irreversible conditions.
  • Mental health problemsmay occur, even with the first use of quinolone antibiotics, including Moxifloxacin MSN. In very rare cases, depression or mental health problems may lead to suicidal thoughts and self-destructive behaviors, such as suicide attempts (see section 4. Possible side effects). If such reactions occur, stop taking Moxifloxacin MSN immediately and consult a doctor.
  • During or after treatment with antibiotics, including Moxifloxacin MSN, diarrheamay occur. If it worsens or persists, or if blood or mucus appears in the stool, stop taking Moxifloxacin MSN and consult a doctor immediately. Do not take drugs that slow down or stop bowel movements.
  • Pain, swelling, and inflammation of joints and tendonsmay occur rarely (see section When not to take Moxifloxacin MSN and section 4. Possible side effects). The risk is increased if the patient is elderly (over 60 years), has had an organ transplant, has kidney problems, or is being treated with corticosteroids. Tendon pain and inflammation can occur within 48 hours of starting treatment and up to several months after stopping treatment with Moxifloxacin MSN. If the first symptoms of tendon pain or inflammation occur (e.g., knee, wrist, elbow, shoulder, or ankle), stop taking Moxifloxacin MSN, consult a doctor, and rest the affected limb. Avoid unnecessary exercise, as it may increase the risk of tendon rupture.
  • If the patient experiences sudden, severe abdominal, chest, or back pain, which may be a sign of aortic aneurysm or dissection, seek medical help immediately. The risk may be increased if the patient is being treated with systemic corticosteroids.
  • If the patient starts to experience sudden shortness of breath, especially when lying down, notices swelling of the ankles, feet, or abdomen, or experiences new heart palpitations (feeling of rapid or irregular heartbeat), inform their doctor immediately.
  • Elderly patients with renal impairmentshould drink plenty of fluids while taking Moxifloxacin MSN, as dehydration may increase the risk of kidney failure.
  • If vision worsensor other eye problems occur during treatment with Moxifloxacin MSN, seek immediate advice from an ophthalmologist (see section Driving and using machines and section 4. Possible side effects).

Additionally, fluoroquinolone antibiotics may cause increased blood sugar levelsabove normal (hyperglycemia) or decreased blood sugar levelsbelow normal (hypoglycemia), which can lead to loss of consciousness (hypoglycemic coma) in severe cases (see section 4. Possible side effects). This is important for patients with diabetes. Patients with diabetes are advised to carefully monitor their blood sugar levels.

  • Quinolone antibiotics may increase sensitivity of the skin to sunlightand UV radiation. During treatment with Moxifloxacin MSN, avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, strong sunlight, and use of sunbeds or other sources of UV radiation.
  • The efficacy of Moxifloxacin MSN has not been established in the treatment of severe burns, deep tissue infections, and diabetic foot infections with osteomyelitis (bone infection).
  • Children and adolescents

    This medicine should not be used in children and adolescents under 18 years of age, as its efficacy and safety have not been established for this age group (see section When not to take Moxifloxacin MSN).

    Moxifloxacin MSN and other medicines

    Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you are currently taking or have recently taken, and about any medicines you plan to take.
    When taking Moxifloxacin MSN, note the following information:

    • When taking Moxifloxacin MSN with other medicines that affect heart function, the risk of heart rhythm disorders increases. Therefore, do not take Moxifloxacin MSN at the same time as the following medicines:
      • anti-arrhythmic drugs (e.g., quinidine, hydroquinidine, disopyramide, amiodarone, sotalol, dofetilide, ibutilide),
      • antipsychotic drugs (e.g., phenothiazines, pimozide, sertindole, haloperidol, sultopride),
      • tricyclic antidepressants,
      • certain antibacterial agents (e.g., saquinavir, sparfloxacin, intravenous erythromycin, pentamidine, antimalarial agents, especially halofantrine),
      • certain antihistamines (e.g., terfenadine, astemizole, mizolastine)
      • other medicines (e.g., cisapride, intravenous vincamine, bepridil, and difemanil).
    • Tell your doctor if you are taking other medicines that may lower potassium levels in the blood [e.g., certain diuretics, certain laxatives, and enemas (high doses) or corticosteroids (anti-inflammatory drugs), amphotericin B] or slow down the heart rate, as they may increase the risk of serious heart rhythm disorders when taking Moxifloxacin MSN.
    • All medicines containing magnesium or aluminum, such as antacids used to treat digestive disorders, and all medicines containing iron or zinc, medicines containing didanosine, and medicines containing sucralfateused to treat gastrointestinal disorders, may reduce the effectiveness of Moxifloxacin MSN tablets. Therefore, maintain a 6-hour interval between taking Moxifloxacin MSN tablets and other medicines.
    • Concomitant oral administration of activated charcoaland Moxifloxacin MSN tablets reduces the effectiveness of Moxifloxacin MSN. Therefore, it is not recommended to take both medicines at the same time.
    • In case of concomitant administration of oral anticoagulant drugs(e.g., warfarin), the doctor may order blood coagulation tests.
