Indications & Uses
Moxquin XG is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Moxifloxacin works against bacteria by blocking two enzymes, topoisomerase II (also called DNA gyrase) and topoisomerase IV. DNA gyrase is needed for bacterial DNA to be copied, read and repaired. Topoisomerase IV has a key part in separating the chromosomal DNA when a bacterial cell divides.

Side Effects
Between 1 and 6% of patients using Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride with Xanthan Gum report eye side effects. The most common are eye irritation, pyrexia, conjunctivitis, decreased visual acuity, dry eye, ocular discomfort, ocular hyperemia, ocular pain, ocular pruritus, subconjunctival hemorrhage and tearing.
Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Using Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride with Xanthan Gum for a long time can let non-susceptible organisms, including fungi, overgrow, along with other anti-infective use.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Doctors should prescribe moxifloxacin during pregnancy only when the likely benefit to the mother outweighs the possible risk to the baby. There are no adequate, well-documented studies in pregnant women, so the safety isn't clear.
Nobody has measured moxifloxacin in human milk. It can be presumed to pass into the milk, though. So a breastfeeding mother should take moxifloxacin with caution.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Overdose
If someone swallows this accidentally, side effects are very unlikely. A 5 ml bottle of Moxifloxacin eye drops holds only 25 mg of Moxifloxacin, which is much lower than the recommended daily oral dose.
⚠️ In an emergency call 999 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.
Storage
Store Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride + Xanthan Gum in a cool, dry place, away from light. Keep it out of reach of children. Don't let the dropper tip touch any surface, because this may contaminate the solution. Once the bottle has been open for one month, stop using the medicine from the dropper.
