Moxifloxacin 400 mg / 250 mL Solution for infusion – patient leaflet, side effects, dosage

1. What Moxifloxacin is and what it is used for

Moxifloxacin contains the active substance moxifloxacin which belongs to a group of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. Moxifloxacin works by killing bacteria that cause infections, if they are caused by bacteria that are susceptible to moxifloxacin. Moxifloxacin is used in adults for treating the following bacterial infections:

• Infection of the lungs (pneumonia) acquired

  outside the hospital

• Infections of the skin and soft tissue

Moxifloxacin is only used to treat these infections when usual antibiotics cannot be used or have not worked.

2. What you need to know before you use Moxifloxacin

Contact your doctor if you are not sure if you belong to a patient group described below.

Do not use Moxifloxacin

• If you are allergic to the active substance

  moxifloxacin, any other quinolone antibiotics or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

• If you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
• If you are under 18 years of age.

• If you have a history of tendon disease or disorder

  which was related to treatment with quinolone antibiotics (see sections 2. Warnings and precautions and 4. Possible side effects).

• If you were born with or have had any condition

  with abnormal heart rhythm (seen on ECG, electrical recording of the heart).

• If you have salt imbalance in the blood (especially

  low levels of potassium or magnesium in the blood).

• If you have a very slow heart rhythm (called

  “bradycardia”).

• If you have a weak heart (heart failure).
• If you have a history of abnormal heart rhythms.

• If you are taking other medicines that result

  in abnormal ECG changes (see section Other medicines and Moxifloxacin). This is because Moxifloxacin can cause changes on the ECG, that is a prolongation of the QT-interval i.e. delayed conduction of electrical signals.

• If you have a severe liver disease or liver

  enzymes (transaminases) that are higher than 5 times the upper normal limit.

Warnings and precautions

Before taking this medicine

You should not take fluoroquinolone/quinolone antibacterial medicines, including Moxifloxacin, if you have experienced any serious adverse reaction in the past when taking a quinolone or fluoroquinolone. In this situation, you should inform your doctor as soon as possible.

Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before Moxifloxacin is administered for the first time. Moxifloxacin can change your heart’s ECG, especially if you are female or if you are elderly. If you are currently taking any medicine that decreases your blood potassium levels, consult your doctor before using Moxifloxacin (see also section Do not use Moxifloxacin and Other medicines and Moxifloxacin).

Talk to your doctor before taking Moxifloxacin:

• If you are diabetic because you may experience

  a risk of change in blood sugar levels with moxifloxacin.

• If you have ever developed a severe skin rash or

  skin peeling, blistering and/or mouth sores after taking moxifloxacin.

• If you have been diagnosed with an enlargement

  or “bulge” of a large blood vessel (aortic aneurysm or large vessel peripheral aneurysm).

• If you have experienced a previous episode of

  aortic dissection (a tear in the aorta wall).

• Ιf you have been diagnosed with leaking heart

  valves (heart valve regurgitation).

• If you have a family history of aortic aneurysm

  or aortic dissection or congenital heart valve disease, or other risk factors or predisposing conditions (e.g. connective tissue disorders such as Marfan syndrome, or Ehlers- Danlos syndrome, Turner syndrome, Sjögrens syndrome [an inflammatory autoimmune disease], or vascular disorders such as Takayasu arteritis, giant cell arteritis, Behcet’s disease, high blood pressure, or known atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis [a disease of the joints] or endocarditis [an infection of the heart]).

• If you suffer from epilepsy or a condition which

  makes you likely to have convulsions, tell your doctor before using Moxifloxacin.

• If you have or have ever had any mental health

  problems, consult your doctor before using Moxifloxacin.

• If you suffer from myasthenia gravis using

  Moxifloxacin may worsen the symptoms of your disease. If you think you are affected consult your doctor immediately.

• If you or any member of your family have

  glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (a rare hereditary disease), inform your doctor, who will decide whether Moxifloxacin is suitable for you.

• If you feel sudden, severe pain in your abdomen,

  chest or back, which can be symptoms of aortic aneurysm and dissection, go immediately to an emergency room. Your risk may be increased if you are being treated with systemic corticosteroids.

• If you start experiencing a rapid onset of

  shortness of breath, especially when you lie down flat in your bed, or you notice swelling of your ankles, feet or abdomen, or a new onset of heart palpitations (sensation of rapid or irregular heartbeat), you should inform a doctor immediately.

Moxifloxacin should be given intravenously (in the vein) only, and should not be administered into an artery.

When using Moxifloxacin

• There is a rare chance that you may experience

  a severe, sudden allergic reaction (an anaphylactic reaction/shock) even with the first dose, with symptoms that may include tightness in the chest, feeling dizzy, feeling sick or faint, or experience dizziness on standing. If this happens, treatment with Moxifloxacin solution for infusion has to be discontinued immediately.

• Prolonged, disabling and potentially irreversible serious side effects

  Fluoroquinolone/quinolone antibacterial

  medicines, including Moxifloxacin, have been associated with rare but serious side effects, some of them being long lasting (continuing for months or years), disabling or potentially irreversible. This includes tendon, muscle and joint pain of the upper and lower limbs, difficulty in walking, abnormal sensations such as pins and needles, tingling, tickling, numbness or burning (paraesthesia), sensory disorders including impairment of vision, taste and smell, and hearing, mental health effects which may include, but are not necessarily limited to, anxiety, panic attacks, confusion, or depression, memory impairment, severe fatigue, and severe sleep disorders. There are no medicines that have been established as being effective treatments for the symptoms of long lasting or disabling side effects associated with fluoroquinolones.

  If you experience any of these side effects after

  taking Moxifloxacin, then do not take any further doses and contact your doctor immediately. You

  and your doctor will decide on whether to continue treatment, considering alternative options.

  • You may experience psychiatric reactions when taking Moxifloxacin, including when taking it for the first time. If you suffer from depression or psychosis, your symptoms may become worse under treatment with Moxifloxacin. In rare cases, depression or psychosis can progress to thoughts of suicide or suicide attempts. If this happens, stop taking Moxifloxacin and contact your doctor immediately. You may not notice some changes in your mood and behaviour so it is very important to tell your friends and family that you are taking Moxifloxacin, and that there may be rare psychiatric side effects. Others may notice changes and help you quickly identify any symptoms that you need to talk to your doctor about.
  • If you experience palpitations or irregular heart beat during the period of treatment, you should inform your doctor immediately. He/she may wish to perform an ECG to measure your heart rhythm.
  • The risk of heart problems may increase with increase of the dose and the speed of the perfusion into your vein. Therefore the recommended dose must not be exceeded.
  • Moxifloxacin may cause a rapid and severe inflammation of the liver which could lead to life-threatening liver failure (including fatal cases, see section 4. Possible side effects). Please contact your doctor before you continue the treatment if you suddenly start to feel unwell or notice yellowing of the whites of the eyes, dark urine, itching of the skin, a tendency to bleed or disturbances of thought or wakefulness (symptoms of a reduced liver function or a rapidly progressive and severe liver inflammation).
  • Quinolone antibiotics, including Moxifloxacin, may cause convulsions. If this happens, treatment with Moxifloxacin has to be discontinued.
  • You may rarely experience symptoms of nerve damage (neuropathy) such as pain, burning, tingling, numbness and/or weakness especially in the feet and legs or hands and arms. If this happens, stop taking Moxifloxacin and inform your doctor immediately in order to prevent the development of potentially irreversible condition.
  • You may experience mental health problems even when taking quinolone antibiotics (including Moxifloxacin), for the first time. In very rare cases depression or mental health problems have led to suicidal thoughts and self-injurious behaviour such as suicide attempts (see section 4. Possible side effects). If you develop such reactions, treatment with Moxifloxacin has to be discontinued.
  • You may develop diarrhoea whilst taking, or after taking, antibiotics including Moxifloxacin. If this becomes severe or persistent or you notice that your stool contains blood or mucus you should stop using Moxifloxacin immediately and consult your doctor. In this situation, you should not take medicines that stop or slow down bowel movement.
  • Pain and swelling in the joints and inflammation or rupture of tendons may occur rarely. Your risk is increased if you are elderly (above 60 years of age), have received an organ transplant, have kidney problems or if you are being treated with corticosteroids. Inflammation and ruptures of tendons may occur within the first 48 hours of treatment and even up to several months after stopping of Moxifloxacin therapy. At the first sign of pain or inflammation of a tendon (for example in your ankle, wrist, elbow, shoulder or knee), stop taking Moxifloxacin, contact your doctor and rest the painful area. Avoid any unnecessary exercise, as this might increase the risk of a tendon rupture (see sections 2. Do not use Moxifloxacin and 4. Possible side effects).
  • If you are elderly with existing kidney problems take care that your fluid intake is sufficient because dehydration may increase the risk of kidney failure.
  • If your eyesight becomes impaired or if your eyes seem to be otherwise affected, consult an eye specialist immediately (see sections 2. Driving and using machines and 4. Possible side effects).
  • Fluoroquinolone antibiotics may cause an increase of your blood sugar levels above normal levels (hyperglycaemia), or lowering of your blood sugar levels below normal levels (hypoglycaemia), potentially leading to loss of consciousness (hypoglycaemic coma) in severe cases (see section 4. Possible side effects). If you suffer from diabetes, your blood sugar should be carefully monitored.
  • Quinolone antibiotics may make your skin become more sensitive to sunlight or UV light. You should avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or strong sunlight and should not use a sunbed or any other UV lamp while using Moxifloxacin.
  • There is limited experience on use of sequential intravenous Moxifloxacin for the treatment of infection of the lungs (pneumonia) acquired outside the hospital.
  • The efficacy of Moxifloxacin in the treatment of severe burns, infections of deep tissue and diabetic foot infections with osteomyelitis (infections of the bone marrow) has not been established.

Serious skin reactions

Serious skin reactions including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and acute generalised exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) have been reported with the use of moxifloxacin.

• SJS/TEN can appear initially as reddish target-like spots or circular patches often with central blisters on the trunk. Also, ulcers of mouth, throat, nose, genitals and eyes (red and swollen eyes) can occur. These serious skin rashes are often preceded by fever and/or flu-like symptoms. The rashes may progress to widespread peeling of the skin and life-threatening complications or be fatal.
• AGEP appears at the initiation of treatment as a red, scaly widespread rash with bumps under the skin and blisters accompanied by fever. The most common location: mainly localized on the skin folds, trunk, and upper extremities.

If you develop a serious rash or another of these skin symptoms, stop taking moxifloxacin and contact your doctor or seek medical attention immediately.

Children and adolescents

This medicine must not be administered to children and adolescents under the age of 18 because efficacy and safety have not been established for this age group (see section Do not use Moxifloxacin).

Other medicines and Moxifloxacin

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.

For Moxifloxacin, be aware of the following:

• If you are using Moxifloxacin and other medicines that affect your heart there is an increased risk for altering your heart rhythm. Therefore, do not use Moxifloxacin together with the following medicines: medicines that belong to the group of anti-arrhythmics (e.g. quinidine, hydroquinidine, disopyramide, amiodarone, sotalol, dofetilide, ibutilide), antipsychotics (e.g. phenothiazines, pimozide, sertindole, haloperidol, sultopride), tricyclic antidepressants, some antimicrobials (e.g. saquinavir, sparfloxacin, intravenous erythromycin, pentamidine, antimalarials particularly halofantrine), some antihistamines (e.g. terfenadine, astemizole, mizolastine), and other medicines (e.g. cisapride, intravenous vincamine, bepridil and diphemanil).
• You must tell your doctor if you are taking other medicines that can lower your blood potassium levels (e.g. some diuretics, some laxatives and enemas [large doses] or corticosteroids [anti-inflammatory drugs], amphotericin B), or cause a slow heart rate because these can also increase the risk of serious heart rhythm disturbances while using Moxifloxacin.

• If you are currently taking oral anti-coagulants

  (e.g. warfarin), it may be necessary for your doctor to monitor your blood clotting times.

Moxifloxacin with food and drink

The effect of Moxifloxacin is not influenced by food including dairy products.

Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility

Do not use Moxifloxacin if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.

Animal studies do not indicate that your fertility will be impaired by using this medicine.

Driving and using machines

Moxifloxacin may make you feel dizzy or light-headed, you may experience a sudden, transient loss of vision, or you might faint for a short period. If you are affected in this way do not drive or operate machinery.

Moxifloxacin contains sodium

This medicine contains 786.7 mg sodium (main component of cooking/table salt) in each bottle. This is equivalent to 39.35 % of the recommended maximum daily dietary intake of sodium for an adult. Arial 9pt narrow- 160x840 mm

The following information is intended for healthcare professionals only:

Moxifloxacin can be administered via a T-tube together with the following solutions:

Water for injections, sodium chloride 0.9 %, sodium chloride 1 molar, glucose 5 % / 10 % / 40 %, Xylitol 20%, Ringer’s solution, compound sodium lactate solution (Hartmann’s solution,

Ringer-lactate solution).

3. How to use Moxifloxacin

Moxifloxacin will always be given to you by a doctor or healthcare professional.

The recommended dose for adults is one bottle, once daily. Moxifloxacin is for intravenous use. Your doctor should ensure that the infusion is given at a constant flow, over 60 minutes.

No adjustment of the dose is required in elderly patients, patients with a low bodyweight or in patients with kidney problems.

Duration of treatment

Your doctor will decide on the duration of your treatment with Moxifloxacin. In some cases your doctor may start your treatment with Moxifloxacin solution for infusion and then continue your treatment with Moxifloxacin tablets. The duration of treatment depends upon the type of infection, and how well you respond to treatment but the recommended durations of use are:

• Infection of the lungs (pneumonia) acquired

  outside the hospital 7 – 14 days. Most patients with pneumonia were switched to oral treatment with Moxifloxacin tablets within 4 days.

• Infections of the skin and soft tissue 7 – 21

  days. For patients with complicated skin and skin structure infections the mean duration of intravenous treatment was approximately 6 days and the average overall duration of treatment (infusion followed by tablets) was 13 days. The recommended dose and duration of treatment should not be exceeded.

If you use more Moxifloxacin than you should

If you are concerned that you may have received too much Moxifloxacin, contact your doctor immediately.

If you forget to use Moxifloxacin

If you are concerned that you may have missed a dose of Moxifloxacin, contact your doctor immediately.

If you stop using Moxifloxacin

If the treatment with this medicine is stopped too soon your infection may not be completely

cured. It is important that you complete the course of treatment, even if you begin to feel better after a few days. If you stop taking / using this medicine too soon your infection may not be completely cured, the infection may return or your condition may get worse, and you may also create a bacterial resistance to the antibiotic. Consult your doctor if you wish to stop the treatment with Moxifloxacin solution for infusion or Moxifloxacin tablets before the end of the course of treatment.

If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.
