1. What Moxifloxacino Kabi is and what it is used for
Moxifloxacino Kabi contains moxifloxacino as the active ingredient, which belongs to the group of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. Moxifloxacino acts by eliminating bacteria that cause infections, provided that these bacteria are sensitive to moxifloxacino.
Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections and are not effective against viral infections such as the flu or common cold.
It is essential that you follow the instructions regarding dosage, administration, and treatment duration indicated by your doctor.
Do not store or reuse this medication. If you have any leftover antibiotic after completing the treatment, return it to the pharmacy for proper disposal. Do not dispose of medications down the drain or in the trash.
Moxifloxacino is indicated in adults for the treatment of the following bacterial infections:
- Community-acquired pneumonia (lung infection).
- Skin and soft tissue infections.
Moxifloxacino is used only to treat infections when ordinary antibiotics do not work or cannot be used.
2. What you need to know before starting to use Moxifloxacino Kabi
Consult your doctor if you are not sure if you belong to one of the patient groups described below.
Do not use Moxifloxacino Kabi
- if you are allergic to moxifloxacin or other quinolones or to any of the other components of this medicine (included in section 6),
- if you are pregnant or breastfeeding,
- if you are under 18 years old,
- if you have a history of tendon disorders or injuries related to treatment with quinolone antibiotics (see sections Warnings and precautionsand 4. Possible side effects),
- if you suffer from any inherited disease or have suffered from any disease related to an abnormal heart rhythm (observed in ECG, heart electrical record),
- if you suffer from electrolyte imbalances in the blood (especially low potassium or magnesium levels in the blood),
- if you have a very slow heart rate (called “bradycardia”), have a weak heart (heart failure), have a history of heart rhythm disorders or are taking other medications that produce certain ECG disorders (see section “Use of Moxifloxacino Kabi with other medicines”). This is because Moxifloxacino Kabi can cause changes in the ECG, such as a prolongation of the QT interval, i.e., delay in the conduction of electrical signals in the heart,
- if you suffer from severe liver disease or liver enzyme levels (transaminases) are 5 times above the upper limit of normal.
Warnings and Precautions
Before starting to take this medicine
You should not take antibacterial medicines that contain fluoroquinolones or quinolones, including Moxifloxacino Kabi 400 mg/250 ml solution for infusion EFG, if you have experienced any serious adverse reaction previously when taking a quinolone or a fluoroquinolone. If this is the case, you should inform your doctor as soon as possible.
Consult your doctor before you are administered Moxifloxacino Kabi for the first time. It is important that you know that:
- Moxifloxacino Kabi may modify the heart ECG, especially if you are a woman or an elderly patient.
- If you are currently taking any medication that leads to a decrease in potassium levels in the blood, consult your doctor before you are administered Moxifloxacino Kabi (see also the sections Do not use Moxifloxacino Kabiand Use of Moxifloxacino Kabi with other medicines).
- If you are diabetic because you may experience a risk of change in blood sugar levels with moxifloxacin.
- If you have ever developed a severe skin rash or skin peeling, blisters, and/or sores in the mouth after taking moxifloxacin.
- If you suffer from epilepsyor any other condition that may cause you to have seizures, inform your doctor before you are administered Moxifloxacino Kabi.
- If you have or have ever had any mental health problem, consult your doctor before you are administered Moxifloxacino Kabi.
- If you suffer from myasthenia gravis(a rare disease that involves muscle weakness), because the use of Moxifloxacino Kabi may worsen the symptoms of your disease. If you think you are affected, consult your doctor immediately.
- if you have been diagnosed with an increase in size or a “lump”of a large blood vessel (aortic aneurysm or large peripheral vessel aneurysm).
- if you have suffered a previous episode of aortic dissection(tear of the aortic wall).
- If you have been diagnosed with heart valve insufficiency (cardiac valve regurgitation).
- if you have a family history of aortic aneurysmor aortic dissection, congenital heart valve disease, or other risk factors or predisposing disorders (e.g., connective tissue disorders such as Marfan syndrome or Ehlers-Danlos vascular syndrome, Turner syndrome, or Sjögren's syndrome (an autoimmune inflammatory disease), or vascular disorders such as Takayasu arteritis, giant cell arteritis, Behçet's disease, arterial hypertension, or atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis (a joint disease) or endocarditis (a heart infection)).
- If you or a family member suffers from glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency(a rare inherited disease), inform your doctor, who will indicate if Moxifloxacino Kabi is suitable for you.
- Moxifloxacino Kabi should only be administered intravenously (in a vein) and should not be injected into arteries.
Treatment with Moxifloxacino Kabi should be discontinued immediately in the following cases:
- In rare cases, you may suffer a sudden severe allergic reaction(anaphylactic reaction or shock) even with the first dose. Consult your doctor if you experience symptoms that may include chest tightness, dizziness, nausea, or fainting, or feel dizzy when standing up.
- Moxifloxacino Kabi may cause rapid and severe liver inflammation, which can lead to life-threatening liver failure (including fatal cases, see section 4 Possible side effects). Consult your doctor before continuing treatment if you suddenly feel unwell or notice that the whites of your eyes turn yellow, dark urine, skin itching, bleeding tendency, or alterations in thoughts or insomnia.
- The quinolone antibiotics, including Moxifloxacino Kabi, may cause seizures. If this occurs, treatment with Moxifloxacino Kabi should be discontinued.
- You may experience mental health problemseven after the first administration of quinolone antibiotics, including Moxifloxacino Kabi. In very rare cases, mental health problems and depression have evolved into suicidal thoughts and self-harming behaviors such as suicide attempts (see section 4. Possible side effects). If you develop these reactions, treatment with Moxifloxacino Kabi should be discontinued.
- In rare cases, pain and swelling in the joints and inflammation or rupture of the tendonsmay occur. The risk is higher if you are an elderly person (over 60 years old), have received an organ transplant, have kidney problems, or are being treated with corticosteroids. Tendon inflammation and rupture can occur within the first 48 hours of treatment and even several months after discontinuing treatment with Moxifloxacino Kabi. At the first sign of pain or inflammation of a tendon (e.g., in the ankle, wrist, elbow, shoulder, or knee), stop taking Moxifloxacino Kabi, contact your doctor, and rest the affected area. Avoid any unnecessary exercise, as this could increase the risk of tendon rupture (see sections Do not use Moxifloxacino Kabiand 4. Possible side effects).
During treatment with Moxifloxacino Kabi, you should inform your doctor immediately:
- If you notice palpitations or irregular heartbeatsduring the treatment period. Your doctor may perform an ECG to measure your heart rate.
- Severe skin reactions
Severe skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS or drug hypersensitivity syndrome) have been reported with the use of moxifloxacin.
- SSJ/TEN may initially appear on the trunk as reddish target-like lesions or circular patches often with central blisters. Ulcers may also appear in the mouth, throat, nose, genitals, and eyes (red and swollen eyes). These severe skin rashes are often preceded by fever and/or flu-like symptoms. The rashes can progress to widespread skin peeling and life-threatening complications.
- AGEP appears at the start of treatment as a red, scaly, and widespread rash with bumps under the skin and blisters accompanied by fever. The most common location: mainly localized in skin folds, trunk, and upper limbs.
- Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) initially appears with pseudo-flu-like symptoms and a rash on the face, later, a widespread rash appears with high body temperature, increased liver enzyme levels in blood tests, and increased eosinophilia and lymph node enlargement.
If you develop a severe rash or any of these skin symptoms, stop taking moxifloxacin and contact your doctor or seek medical attention immediately.
In rare cases, you may experience nerve damage symptoms (neuropathy)such as pain, burning, tingling, numbness, and/or weakness, especially in feet and legs or hands and arms. If this happens, stop taking Moxifloxacino Kabi and inform your doctor immediately to prevent the development of a potentially irreversible disorder.
- You may develop diarrheaduring or after taking antibiotics, including Moxifloxacino Kabi. If the diarrhea is severe or persistent, or if you notice blood or mucus in your stool, stop taking Moxifloxacino Kabi immediately and consult your doctor. In these situations, you should not take medications that interrupt or slow down intestinal movement.
- If you feel a sudden and severe pain in the abdomen, chest, or back, which can be symptoms of aortic dissection or aneurysm, go to the emergency room immediately. The risk may increase if you are receiving systemic corticosteroid treatment.
- If you start experiencing sudden shortness of breath, especially when lying down, or if you notice swelling in your ankles, feet, or abdomen, or the appearance of heart palpitations (feeling of rapid or irregular heartbeat), you should inform your doctor immediately.
- If your vision worsens or if you have any other eye disordersduring treatment with Moxifloxacino Kabi, consult an ophthalmologist immediately (see sections Driving and using machines and 4. Possible side effects).
- Fluoroquinolones may cause an increase in your blood sugar levels above normal levels (hyperglycemia) or a decrease in your blood sugar levels below normal levels (hypoglycemia), which in severe cases can cause loss of consciousness (hypoglycemic coma) (see section 4. Possible side effects). If you suffer from diabetes, your blood sugar levels should be carefully controlled.
When you are administered Moxifloxacino Kabi, you should keep in mind that:
- The risk of heart problems may increase with the increase in dose and infusion rate into your veins.
- If you are elderly and have kidney problems, be careful to drink enough fluids, as dehydration can increase the risk of kidney failure.
- Quinolone antibiotics may increase the sensitivity of your skin to sunlight or UV light. You should avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or direct sunlight and should not use sunbeds or any type of UV lamp during treatment with Moxifloxacino Kabi (see section 4. Possible side effects).
- There is limited experience regarding the use of Moxifloxacino Kabi intravenous/oral sequential treatment for the treatment of lung infections (pneumonia) acquired outside the hospital.
- The efficacy of Moxifloxacino Kabi has not been established in the treatment of severe burns, deep tissue infections, and diabetic foot infections with osteomyelitis (bone marrow infections).
Severe, long-lasting, and potentially irreversible side effects:
Antibacterial medicines that contain fluoroquinolones or quinolones, including Moxifloxacino Kabi, have been associated with very rare but serious side effects, some of which were long-lasting (persistent for months or years), disabling, or potentially irreversible. This includes pain in the tendons, muscles, and joints of the upper and lower limbs, difficulty walking, abnormal sensations such as pins and needles, tingling, prickling, numbness, or burning (paresthesia), sensory disorders such as decreased vision, taste, smell, and hearing, depression, decreased memory, intense fatigue, and severe sleep disorders.
If you experience any of these side effects after taking Moxifloxacino Kabi, contact your doctor immediately before continuing treatment. You and your doctor will decide whether to continue or not the treatment, also considering the use of an antibiotic from another class.
Children and adolescents
This medicine should not be administered to children and adolescents under 18 years old because safety and efficacy have not been established for this age group (see section Do not use Moxifloxacino Kabi).
Use of Moxifloxacino Kabi with other medicines
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or may need to use any other medicine.
When you receive treatment with Moxifloxacino Kabi, you should keep in mind the following
If you are using Moxifloxacino Kabi, along with other medicines that affect the heart, there is a greater risk that heart rhythm disorders may occur. Therefore, you should not take Moxifloxacino Kabi at the same time as the following medicines:
- medicines that belong to the class of antiarrhythmics (e.g., quinidine, hydroquinidine, disopyramide, amiodarone, sotalol, dofetilide, ibutilide),
- antipsychotics (e.g., phenothiazines, pimozide, sertindole, haloperidol, sultopride),
- tricyclic antidepressants, some antimicrobials (e.g., saquinavir, sparfloxacin, intravenous erythromycin, pentamidine, antimalarials, particularly halofantrine),
- some antihistamines (terfenadine, astemizole, mizolastine),
- other medicines such as cisapride, intravenous vincamine, bepridil, and difemanil.
While you are being treated with Moxifloxacino Kabi, you should inform your doctor:
- if you are taking other medicines that may decrease potassium levels in the blood (e.g., some diuretics, some laxatives, and enemas (at high doses) or corticosteroids (anti-inflammatory medicines), amphotericin B),
- if you are taking other medicines that may cause a decrease in heart rate, as these may also increase the risk of serious heart rhythm disorders while using Moxifloxacino Kabi,
- if you are currently taking oral anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin), your doctor may need to monitor your blood coagulation time.
Use of Moxifloxacino Kabi with food, drinks, and alcohol
The effect of Moxifloxacino Kabi is not altered by food, including dairy products.
You should not drink alcohol while being treated with Moxifloxacino Kabi.

Moxifloxacino Kabi contains sodium
The maximum recommended daily dose of this medicine contains 1206 mg of sodium (main component of table salt/cooking salt). This is equivalent to 60% of the maximum recommended daily sodium intake for an adult.
3. How to use Moxifloxacino Kabi
Moxifloxacino will always be administered to you by a doctor or healthcare professional.
The recommended dose in adults is one vial or one bag, once a day.
Moxifloxacino is for intravenous use (in a vein). Your doctor must ensure that the infusion is administered at a constant flow rate over 60 minutes.
No dose adjustment is necessary in elderly patients, in patients with low body weight, or in patients with kidney problems.
Duration of treatment
Your doctor will decide the duration of treatment with moxifloxacino. In some cases, your doctor may start treatment with moxifloxacino solution for infusion and then continue treatment with tablets.
The duration of treatment depends on the type of infection and how you respond to treatment, but the recommended treatment durations are as follows:
Indication | Duration of treatment |
Lung infections(pneumonia) acquired outside the hospital Most patients with pneumonia switch to oral treatment with tablets after 4 days. | 7 - 14 days |
Infections of the skin and soft tissues In patients with severe skin and soft tissue infections, the average duration of intravenous treatment is around 6 days, and the average total treatment duration (infusion followed by tablets) is 13 days. | 7 – 21 days |
It is essential that you complete the full treatment, even if you start to feel better after a few days. If you stop treatment too soon, the infection may not be completely cured, the infection may return, or your condition may worsen, and you may also develop bacterial resistance to the antibiotic.
Do not exceed the recommended dose and treatment duration.
If you use more Moxifloxacino Kabi than you should
If you are concerned about the possibility of having received too much moxifloxacino, consult your doctor immediately.
