Moxifloxacin
Moxifloxacin is an antibiotic medication that is used to treat various types of bacterial infections of the skin, sinuses, lungs, and abdomen.
Moxifloxacin belongs to a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones and it is considered a broad-spectrum antibiotic, meaning it can treat both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes critical for DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination in bacteria. This inhibition results in the disruption of bacterial cell growth and division, ultimately leading to the eradication of the bacterial infection.
It is available as oral tablets, ophthalmic solution (eye drops), and intravenous injection. Oral and injectable moxifloxacin is sold under the brand name Avelox. While ophthalmic moxifloxacin is sold under the brand name Vigamox.
Systemic moxifloxacin (oral and injectable) is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including community-acquired pneumonia, acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, and sinusitis. It is also effective against skin and soft tissue infections, intra-abdominal infections, and is even used as a part of the treatment regimen for plague.
The ophthalmic form of moxifloxacin is used to treat infections of the eye, including bacterial conjunctivitis.
In the United States, moxifloxacin is available under the following brand names:
- Systemic: Avelox
- Ophthalmic: Vigamox
Common side effects associated with oral moxifloxacin may include:
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Dizziness
- Headaches

More serious side effects which should be reported to your healthcare provider immediately may include:

- Irregular heartbeat or chest pain
- Severe headache with vision changes

The above lists of possible side effects associated with moxifloxacin are not exhaustive and other side effects may occur. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects while taking moxifloxacin, it is important to contact your healthcare provider right away.
