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
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.
