Moxif (Moxifloxacin) Used to treat bacterial infections & infection control

Precaution

Important Precaution Points

• Individuals with a history of tendon problems should use caution because Moxifloxacin may increase the risk of tendon inflammation or rupture, especially in older adults.

• People with heart rhythm conditions should inform their healthcare provider, as this medicine may affect electrical activity of the heart in sensitive individuals.
