Moxifloxacin Fresenius Kabi
Moxifloxacin Fresenius Kabi Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Moxifloxacin Fresenius Kabi is a synthetic broad spectrum, flouroquinolone derivative antibacterial agent. Moxifloxacin Fresenius Kabi has in vitro activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms. The bactericidal action of Moxifloxacin Fresenius Kabi results from inhibition of the topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase) and topoisomerase IV required for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair and recombination.
Moxifloxacin Fresenius Kabi is a quinolone/fluoroquinolone antibiotic. Moxifloxacin Fresenius Kabi can be used to treat infections caused by the following bacteria: Aerobic Gram-positive microorganisms: Corynebacterium species, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococcus hominis, Staphylococcus warneri, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Streptococcus viridans group. Aerobic Gram-negative microorganisms: Acinetobacter lwoffii, Haemophilus influenzae, and Haemophilus parainfluenzae. Other microorganisms: Chlamydia trachomatis.Moxifloxacin Fresenius Kabi is bactericidal and its mode of action depends on blocking of bacterial DNA replication by binding itself to an enzyme called DNA gyrase, which allows the untwisting required to replicate one DNA double helix into two. Notably the drug has 100 times higher affinity for bacterial DNA gyrase than for mammalian. Moxifloxacin Fresenius Kabi is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

How Moxifloxacin Fresenius Kabi works
The bactericidal action of moxifloxacin results from inhibition of the enzymes topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase) and topoisomerase IV. DNA gyrase is an essential enzyme that is involved in the replication, transcription and repair of bacterial DNA. Topoisomerase IV is an enzyme known to play a key role in the partitioning of the chromosomal DNA during bacterial cell division.
Dosage
Moxifloxacin Fresenius Kabi dosage
The dose of Moxifloxacin Fresenius Kabi is 400 mg once every 24 hours. The duration of therapy depends on the type of infection as described bellow-
- In Acute Bacterial Sinusitis: Moxifloxacin Fresenius Kabi 400 mg is given once daily for 10 days.
- In Acute Bacterial Exacerbation of Chronic Bronchitis: Moxifloxacin Fresenius Kabi 400 mg is given once daily for 5 days.
- In Community Acquired Pneumonia: Moxifloxacin Fresenius Kabi 400 mg is given once daily for 7-14 days.
- In Uncomplicated Skin & Skin Structure infections: Moxifloxacin Fresenius Kabi 400 mg is given once daily for 7 days.
- In Complicated Skin & Skin Structure infections: Moxifloxacin Fresenius Kabi 400 mg is given once daily for 7-21 days.
- In Complicated Intra-Abdominal infections: Moxifloxacin Fresenius Kabi 400 mg is given once daily for 5-14 days.
Moxifloxacin Fresenius Kabi 400 mg IV infusion can be administered intravenously for the entire treatment duration. Alternatively, therapy may be initial intravenous administration, followed by oral administration when clinically indicated. The recommended duration of treatment for the indication being treated should not be exceeded. The solution for infusion should be infused intravenously over 60 minutes.
Side Effects
The following one or more side effects may be observed: tendinopathy and tendon rupture, QT prolongation, hypersensitivity reactions, Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea, peripheral neuropathy, photosensitivity, phototoxicity etc.
Toxicity
Symptoms of overdose include CNS and gastrointestinal effects such as decreased activity, somnolence, tremor, convulsions, vomiting, and diarrhea. The minimal lethal intravenous dose in mice and rats is 100 mg/kg.

Interaction
No quinolone should be co-administered with any solution containing multivalent cations (e.g. magnesium) through the same intravenous line.

Food Interaction
- Drink plenty of fluids.
- Take with or without food.
Moxifloxacin Fresenius Kabi multivitamins interaction
[Moderate] ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Oral preparations that contain magnesium, aluminum, or calcium may significantly decrease the gastrointestinal absorption of quinolone antibiotics.
Absorption may also be reduced by sucralfate, which contains aluminum, as well as other polyvalent cations such as iron and zinc.
The mechanism is chelation of quinolones by polyvalent cations, forming a complex that is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
The bioavailability of ciprofloxacin has been reported to decrease by as much as 90% when administered with antacids containing aluminum or magnesium hydroxide.
When coadministration cannot be avoided, quinolone antibiotics should be dosed either 2 to 4 hours before or 4 to 6 hours after polyvalent cation-containing products to minimize the potential for interaction.
When coadministered with Suprep Bowel Prep (magnesium Please consult individual product labeling for specific recommendations.
