⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

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.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women, so Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride ophthalmic solution should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Moxifloxacin hasn't been measured in human milk, but it can be presumed to pass into breast milk. Take caution when giving Moxifloxacin hydrochloride ophthalmic solution to a nursing mother.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
