1. What Moxifloxacin Kabi is and what it is used for

Moxifloxacin Kabi contains the active substance - moxifloxacin, which belongs to a group of
antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. Moxifloxacin Kabi acts bactericidally against bacteria
causing infections, provided these bacteria are susceptible to moxifloxacin.
Moxifloxacin Kabi is used in adult patients for the treatment of the following bacterial
infections:
­ lung infection (pneumonia) acquired outside the hospital;
­ skin and soft tissue infections.
Moxifloxacin Kabi is used to treat the above infections only when commonly used antibiotics
cannot be used or are ineffective.

2. Important information before using Moxifloxacin Kabi

If the patient has any doubts whether they belong to any of the groups described below, they should contact
their doctor.
When not to use Moxifloxacin Kabi
­ If the patient is allergic to moxifloxacin, other antibiotics from the quinolone group, or
any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
­ During pregnancy or breastfeeding.
­ In patients under 18 years of age.
­ If the patient has previously experienced tendon disease or tendon function disorders
related to treatment with quinolone antibiotics (see sections Warnings and precautions and 4. Possible
side effects).
­ If the patient has a congenital or acquired abnormal heart rhythm (visible on ECG –
electrocardiogram, a test measuring the heart's electrical activity).
­ If the patient has electrolyte imbalance (especially low blood potassium or magnesium levels).
­ If the patient has: very slow heart rate (called "bradycardia"), weak heart
(heart failure), previously diagnosed heart rhythm disorders, or if the patient is
taking medications causing atypical changes in the ECG recording (see section Moxifloxacin
Kabi and other medicines). Moxifloxacin Kabi may cause changes in the ECG, known
as QT interval prolongation, which means delayed electrical conduction
in the heart.
­ If the patient has severe liver disease or liver enzyme activity
(aminotransferases) exceeds five times the upper limit of normal.
Warnings and precautions
Before taking this medicine
Do not take antibacterial medicines containing fluoroquinolones or quinolones,
including Moxifloxacin Kabi, if the patient has previously experienced any severe adverse
reaction while taking a quinolone or fluoroquinolone. In such a case, inform the doctor
as soon as possible.
Before starting treatment with Moxifloxacin Kabi, discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist.
It is important that the patient knows the following before starting treatment:
­ Moxifloxacin Kabi may alter the heart's ECG, especially in women and elderly patients;
­ if the patient is also taking medicines that lower blood potassium levels, consult the doctor
before starting Moxifloxacin Kabi (see also sections When not to use Moxifloxacin Kabi and
Moxifloxacin Kabi and other medicines);
­ if the patient has diabetes, consult the doctor before starting Moxifloxacin Kabi, as there is a risk
of blood sugar level changes during moxifloxacin treatment;
­ if the patient has ever experienced severe skin rash or skin peeling, blisters and (or) oral ulcers
after taking moxifloxacin, consult the doctor before starting Moxifloxacin Kabi;
­ if the patient has epilepsy or conditions that may cause seizures, inform the doctor
before starting Moxifloxacin Kabi;
­ if the patient has or has ever had mental health problems, consult the doctor before starting
Moxifloxacin Kabi;
­ if the patient has myasthenia gravis (a rare disease causing muscle weakness), using
Moxifloxacin Kabi may worsen symptoms; if this occurs, consult the doctor immediately;
­ if the patient has been diagnosed with aortic or large peripheral artery dilation (aneurysm),
consult the doctor;
­ if the patient has previously experienced aortic dissection (tearing of the aortic wall),
consult the doctor;
­ if the patient has been diagnosed with heart valve insufficiency, consult the doctor;
­ if there is a family history of aortic aneurysm or aortic dissection, congenital heart valve disease,
or other risk factors or predisposing conditions (e.g. connective tissue disorders such as Marfan
syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Turner syndrome, Sjögren's syndrome [an autoimmune
inflammatory disease], or vascular diseases such as Takayasu arteritis, giant cell arteritis,
Behçet's disease, hypertension, confirmed atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis [joint disease],
or endocarditis [heart infection]), consult the doctor;
­ if the patient or anyone in their family has glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency
(a rare inherited disorder), inform the doctor, who will assess whether Moxifloxacin Kabi is
appropriate;
­ Moxifloxacin Kabi must be administered intravenously (into a vein) only and must not be given
intra-arterially.
Circumstances requiring immediate discontinuation of Moxifloxacin Kabi
­ There is a small risk of severe, sudden allergic reaction (anaphylactic reaction or
anaphylactic shock), even after the first dose. Inform the doctor if the patient experiences
symptoms such as: chest tightness, dizziness, nausea or fainting, or a spinning sensation
when standing up.
­ Moxifloxacin Kabi may cause severe, rapidly progressing liver inflammation,
which may lead to life-threatening liver failure (including fatal outcomes, see section 4. Possible
side effects). If the patient experiences symptoms such as: sudden worsening of general condition,
yellowing of the whites of the eyes, dark urine, itchy skin, tendency to bleed, or disturbances
in thinking or insomnia, contact the doctor before taking the next dose.
­ Antibiotics from the quinolone group, including Moxifloxacin Kabi, may cause seizures.
If seizures occur, discontinue Moxifloxacin Kabi immediately.
­ Mental health problems may occur, even after the first dose of a quinolone antibiotic,
including Moxifloxacin Kabi. Very rarely, depression or mental health problems may lead to
suicidal thoughts and self-harming behaviors, including suicide attempts (see section 4. Possible
side effects). If such reactions occur, discontinue Moxifloxacin Kabi immediately.
­ Rarely, pain and swelling of joints and tendon inflammation or tendon rupture may occur.
The risk is increased in elderly patients (over 60 years), after organ transplantation, in patients
with kidney problems, or those receiving corticosteroid treatment. Tendon inflammation
and rupture may occur within the first 48 hours of treatment and even several months after
stopping Moxifloxacin Kabi. If the first symptoms of tendon pain or inflammation occur
(e.g. in the ankle, wrist, elbow, shoulder, or knee), discontinue Moxifloxacin Kabi, contact the doctor,
and rest the affected area. Avoid excessive physical strain, as this may increase the risk of tendon rupture
(see sections When not to use Moxifloxacin Kabi and 4. Possible side effects).
Symptoms requiring immediate medical attention during treatment with Moxifloxacin Kabi
­ Palpitations or irregular heartbeat occurring during treatment. The doctor may order
an ECG to check heart rhythm.
­ Severe skin reactions
Severe skin reactions have been reported during moxifloxacin treatment, including Stevens-Johnson
syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP),
and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS).
­ SJS/TEN may initially appear as reddish, target-like spots or circular lesions, often with blisters
on the trunk. Oral, throat, nasal, genital, and eye ulcers may also occur
(red, swollen eyes). Such severe rashes are often preceded by fever and (or) flu-like symptoms.
Severe rashes may progress to widespread skin peeling and life-threatening complications or death.
­ AGEP rash appears early in treatment as a red, peeling, generalized rash with subcutaneous
pustules and blisters, accompanied by fever. Most common sites: skin folds, trunk, and upper limbs.
­ In DRESS syndrome, flu-like symptoms and facial rash appear initially, followed by widespread
rash with high fever, increased liver enzyme activity and elevated white blood cell count
(eosinophilia) in blood tests, and enlarged lymph nodes.
If severe rash or any of these skin symptoms occur, discontinue moxifloxacin and contact the doctor
or seek immediate medical help.
­ The patient may rarely experience symptoms of nerve damage (neuropathy), such as pain,
burning, tingling, numbness, and (or) weakness, especially in feet and legs, and hands and arms.
In such cases, discontinue Moxifloxacin Kabi and contact the doctor immediately to prevent
potentially irreversible disease progression.
­ Diarrhea occurring during or after antibiotic treatment, including Moxifloxacin Kabi.
If it worsens or persists, or if blood or mucus is present in the stool, discontinue Moxifloxacin Kabi
immediately and consult the doctor. In such cases, do not use medications that stop or slow
intestinal motility (peristalsis).
­ In case of sudden severe abdominal, back, or chest pain, which may indicate aortic aneurysm
or dissection, seek emergency medical help immediately. The risk of such events may be higher
in patients receiving systemic corticosteroids.
­ If sudden shortness of breath occurs, especially when lying down, or if swelling of ankles, feet,
or abdomen, or palpitations (feeling of rapid or irregular heartbeat) are observed, seek medical
attention immediately.
­ Worsening of vision or any visual disturbances. If any of these symptoms occur during
Moxifloxacin Kabi treatment, consult an ophthalmologist immediately (see sections Driving and
operating machinery and 4. Possible side effects).
­ Fluoroquinolone antibiotics may cause increased blood sugar levels above normal (hyperglycemia)
or decreased blood sugar levels below normal (hypoglycemia), which may eventually lead to loss
of consciousness (hypoglycemic coma) in severe cases (see section 4. Possible side effects).
In diabetic patients, blood sugar levels should be closely monitored.
While using Moxifloxacin Kabi, the patient should know that:
­ Risk of heart problems may increase with higher doses and faster intravenous infusion rates;
­ elderly patients with kidney problems should drink adequate fluids, as dehydration may
increase the risk of kidney failure;
­ quinolone antibiotics may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight and UV radiation;
during Moxifloxacin Kabi treatment, avoid prolonged sun exposure, intense sunlight, and using
tanning beds or other UV sources (see section 4. Possible side effects);
­ limited experience exists with sequential therapy (intravenous followed by oral) using
Moxifloxacin Kabi in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia;
­ the effectiveness of Moxifloxacin Kabi has not been established in treating severe burns,
deep tissue infections, or diabetic foot infections with osteomyelitis (bone marrow infection).
Long-term, disabling, and potentially irreversible serious side effects
Antibacterial medicines containing fluoroquinolones/quinolones, including Moxifloxacin Kabi, have been
associated with very rare but serious adverse reactions. Some of these were long-term (lasting months or years),
disabling, or potentially irreversible. These include: tendon, muscle, and joint pain in upper and lower limbs,
difficulty walking, abnormal sensations such as pricking, tingling, tickling, numbness, or burning (paresthesia),
sensory disturbances including vision, taste, smell, and hearing, depression, memory disturbances, severe fatigue,
and severe sleep disorders.
If any of these adverse reactions occur after taking Moxifloxacin Kabi, contact the doctor immediately before
continuing treatment. The patient and doctor will decide whether to continue treatment, considering also
antibiotics from other classes.
Children and adolescents
This medicine should not be used in children and adolescents under 18 years of age, as efficacy
and safety have not been established in this age group (see section When not to use Moxifloxacin Kabi).
Moxifloxacin Kabi and other medicines
Inform the doctor or pharmacist about all medicines currently or recently used, as well as any medicines
the patient plans to use.
What to know when using Moxifloxacin Kabi with other medicines
The risk of heart rhythm disorders increases when Moxifloxacin Kabi is used with other medicines
affecting heart function. Therefore, do not use Moxifloxacin Kabi simultaneously with the following medicines:
­ antiarrhythmic drugs (e.g. quinidine, hydroquinidine, disopyramide, amiodarone, sotalol, dofetilide, ibutilide);
­ antipsychotics (e.g. phenothiazines, pimozide, sertindole, haloperidol, sulpiride);
­ tricyclic antidepressants;
­ certain antibacterial drugs (e.g. saquinavir, sparfloxacin, intravenous erythromycin, pentamidine,
antimalarials, especially halofantrine);
­ certain antihistamines (e.g. terfenadine, astemizole, mizolastine);
­ other medicines such as cisapride, intravenous vinpocetine, bepridil, and difemanil.
Inform the doctor:
­ if the patient is taking other medicines that may reduce blood potassium levels [e.g. certain
diuretics, certain laxatives and large-volume enemas, or corticosteroids (anti-inflammatory drugs),
amphotericin B];
­ if the patient is taking other medicines that may slow heart rate, as they may also increase
the risk of serious heart rhythm disorders during Moxifloxacin Kabi treatment;
­ if the patient is taking oral anticoagulants (e.g. warfarin), the doctor may order blood clotting tests.
Moxifloxacin Kabi with food, drink, and alcohol
Food, including dairy products, does not affect the action of Moxifloxacin Kabi.
Do not drink alcohol during treatment with Moxifloxacin Kabi.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility
If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, suspects pregnancy, or plans to have a child,
they should consult a doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.
Do not use Moxifloxacin Kabi during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Animal studies have not shown fertility disturbances related to this medicine.
Driving and operating machinery
Moxifloxacin Kabi may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, sudden transient loss of vision,
or brief fainting. If such symptoms occur, do not drive or operate machinery.
Moxifloxacin Kabi contains sodium
The maximum recommended daily dose of this medicine contains 1206 mg of sodium (main component
of table salt). This corresponds to 60% of the maximum recommended daily sodium intake in the diet
for adults.

3. How to use Moxifloxacin Kabi

Moxifloxacin Kabi is always administered by a doctor or healthcare professional.
The recommended dose in adult patients is one bottle or bag, once daily.
Moxifloxacin Kabi is intended for intravenous administration (into a vein). The doctor should ensure
that the medicine is given as a continuous infusion lasting at least 60 minutes.
Dose adjustment is not required in elderly patients, patients with low body weight, or patients with renal impairment.
Duration of treatment
The doctor will decide how long treatment with Moxifloxacin Kabi should last. In some cases, the doctor may start treatment with Moxifloxacin Kabi as an infusion solution,
and then continue treatment with an appropriate tablet formulation.
The duration of treatment depends on the type of infection and the patient's response to therapy. The recommended duration of treatment is given below.

IndicationDuration of treatment
Community-acquired pneumonia
In most patients with pneumonia, treatment was switched to oral tablets within 4 days.
7–14 days
Skin and soft tissue infections
In patients with complicated skin and subcutaneous tissue infections, the mean duration of intravenous treatment was approximately 6 days, and the mean total duration of treatment (infusion followed by tablets) was 13 days.
7–21 days

It is important to complete the full course of treatment, even if the patient feels better after a few days.
If treatment is stopped too early, the infection may not be completely cured, the illness may return or the patient's condition may worsen, and bacteria may develop resistance to the antibiotic.
Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment.
Administration of a higher than recommended dose of Moxifloxacin Kabi
If the patient suspects that they have received too high a dose of Moxifloxacin Kabi, they should inform their doctor immediately.
Missed dose of Moxifloxacin Kabi
If the patient suspects that a dose of Moxifloxacin Kabi has been missed, they should inform their doctor immediately.
Discontinuation of Moxifloxacin Kabi treatment
If treatment is stopped too early, the infection may not be completely cured. If the patient wishes to discontinue taking Moxifloxacin Kabi earlier, they should consult their doctor.
If there are any further doubts regarding the use of this medicine, consult a doctor or pharmacist.
