What is Moxifloxacin Hcl?
Moxifloxacin Hcl is a generic antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections including pneumonia, skin infections, abdominal infections, plague, and eye infections, specifically conjunctivitis (pink eye).
Moxifloxacin Hcl is taken as a tablet, intravenous injection, or intravenous infusion for bacterial infections. Moxifloxacin Hcl is sold as eye drops to treat conjunctivitis.
Moxifloxacin Hcl belongs to a class of antibiotics known as quinolones that kill bacteria and prevent them from making other bacteria by destroying their genetic material. Quinolones, however, have potentially serious side effects. For this reason, the most common use for Moxifloxacin Hcl is to treat conjunctivitis because the topical use of Moxifloxacin Hcl has the fewest side effects.
Orally, Moxifloxacin Hcl is taken as a single fixed-dose 400 mg tablet once per day. The length of treatment will depend on the type and severity of the underlying infection. Injections are most often used for patients who cannot tolerate oral administration of Moxifloxacin Hcl. Eye drops are administered as a single eye drop on the affected eye three times a day for seven days.
What are the side effects of Moxifloxacin Hcl?
The most common side effects of Moxifloxacin Hcl are stomach upset, nausea, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, and blurred vision. Patients may experience mental and mood changes such as anxiety, agitation, and nervousness. For patients taking Moxifloxacin Hcl as a topical (eye drops), site reactions are very common and include itching, burning, and pain, but these effects often clear up in a few minutes. Eye drops are less likely to cause more serious side effects.
The most serious side effects of Moxifloxacin Hcl and other quinolone antibiotics are disabling and potentially irreversible damage to the tendons, connective tissue, and nerves. If you show any signs of tendon rupture, serious mental or mood changes, or numbness in your hands or feet, discontinue Moxifloxacin Hcl and consult with your doctor. Other serious side effects include severe diarrhea, kidney problems, skin problems, and damage to the aorta, the body's principal artery. Serious mental and mood changes include depression, hallucinations, memory problems, confusion, paranoia, and suicidal thoughts.
Allergic reactions are rare but include hives, sore throat, rashes, itching, and difficulty breathing. Moxifloxacin Hcl has the potential to provoke severe allergic skin reactions that may require hospitalization. Watch for dark rash, fever, and facial swelling. Consult a physician immediately if you experience a Moxifloxacin Hcl allergic reaction.
