Each film coated tablet contains: Active Ingredients:
Moxifloxacin hydrochloride 436.8 mg equivalent to 400mg
moxifloxacin .
Inactive Ingredients:
Lactose anhydrous – Avicel PH1 01- Povidon – Magnesium stearat
PEG 6000 – H.P.M.C-Titanium dioxide-Crosscarmellose sodium-Is
Pharmacological Action :
Moxavidex tablet has activity against a wide range of gram -positiv
and gram-negative bacteria, its action results from inhibition of
topoisomerase2 ( DNA gyrase ) and topisomerase 4 required for
bacterial replication, transcription, repair, and recombination.
Pharmacokinetics :
Absorption: Moxifloxacin, given as an oral tablet, is well absorbei
from the gastrointestinal tract. The absolute bioavailability of moxifloxacin is approximately 90 percent.
Distribution: Moxifloxacin is widely distributed throughout the body with tissue concentration often exceeding plasma concentration. Moxiftoxacin has been detected in the saliva ,nasal and bronchial secretions, mucosa of the sinuses ,skin blister ftuid, subcutaneous tissue, and skeletal muscle following oral administration of 400 m,
Metabolism: Moxiftoxacin is metabolized via glucuronide and
sulfate conjugation. The cytochrome p450 system is not involved i
moxiftoxacin metabolism ,and is not affected by moxiftoxacin. It is eliminated primarily in the feces. Proximately 14% of an oral dose is excreted in the urine.
Excretion: Approximately 45% of an oral doses of moxiftoxacin is
excreted uncharged drug (20% in the urine and 25%in feces), tote
of 96% ± 4% of an oral dose is excreted as either unchanged druc
or known metabolites.
Indications and Usage :

infections caused by susceptible strains of the designated
Microorganism in the following condition:
– Acute Bacterial Sinusitis.
– Acute Bacterial Exacerbation of Chronic Bronchitis.
– Community Acquired Pneumonia.
– Uncomplicated Skin and Skin Structure Infections.
– Complicated Intra-abdominal Infections.
– Complicated Skin and Skin Structure Infections.
Dosage and Administration :
– The dosage of moxiftoxacin is one 400 mg tablet taken orally
every 24 hours.
– The duration of therapy depends on the type of infection as
described below:
Infection Daily Dose Duration Acute Bacterial Sinusitis 400 mg 10 days

Drug-Drug Interactions :
There was no clinically significant effect of moxifloxacin on theophyline, warfarin, digoxin, or glyburide kinetics. However, as with all other quinolones, iron and antacids significantly reduce the bioavailability of moxifloxacin.
Precautions :
– In general quinolones may cause nervousness, insomnia, anxiety
or nightmares.
– Renal insufficiency: The pharmacokinetic parameters of moxifloxacin are not significantly altered by mild, moderate, or server renal impairment.
– The pharmacokinetics of moxifloxacin with moderate and severe
hepatic insufficiency have not been, adequately studied due to the
lack of clinical data, the use of moxifloxacin is not recommended
with moderate and severe hepatic insufficiency.
– Moxifloxacin should be administered at least 4 hours before or 8
hours after antacids containing, metal cations such as iron, and
multivitamin preparations with zinc. – QT Effects: Fluoroquinolones may prolong the QT interval in some
patients. Moxifloxacin should be avoided in patients with a history of
prolongation of the OT interval, patients with uncorrected electrolyte disorders (hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia), and patients receiving antiarrhythmic agents as quinidine. – Exacerbation of myasthenia gravis: Fluoroquinolones have
neuromuscular blocking activity and may exacerbate muscle
weakness in persons with myasthenia gravis. Postmarketing serious adverse events, including deaths and requirement for ventilator support, have been associated with fluoroquinolone use in persons with myasthenia gravis. Avoid fluoroquinolones in patients with known history of myasthenia gravis. – Quinolones should not generally be used in patients aged less than
18 years, pregnant women, or breast-feeding mothers unless the
