Product Form: Tablets

Pack Size: 5's

Manufactured By: High-Q International

Used For:

Em-Flox Tablets 400mg contain Moxifloxacin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic from the fluoroquinolone class. It is primarily used to treat bacterial infections, including:

  • Respiratory tract infections (e.g., bronchitis, pneumonia)
  • Sinusitis
  • Skin and soft tissue infections
  • Intra-abdominal infections
  • Certain urinary tract infections
  • Eye infections (if in ophthalmic form)

Moxifloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA replication, thereby stopping the growth and spread of the bacteria.

Side Effects:

 Common side effects may include:

  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Headache
  • Abdominal pain

Serious but rare side effects can include:

  • Tendon rupture or inflammation
  • Nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy)
  • Severe allergic reactions (e.g., rash, difficulty breathing)
  • Heart rhythm disturbances (QT prolongation)
  • Liver dysfunction

Precautions:

  • Allergies: Inform your healthcare provider if you are allergic to moxifloxacin or any other fluoroquinolone antibiotics.
  • Tendon Issues: There is a risk of tendonitis or tendon rupture, especially in older adults or those on corticosteroids.
  • Heart Conditions: Moxifloxacin may cause QT prolongation, leading to heart rhythm problems. Use caution if you have heart conditions or are on medications affecting heart rhythms.
  • Kidney/Liver Issues: Dose adjustment may be necessary for individuals with kidney or liver disease.
  • Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding.
  • Sun Sensitivity: This medication may increase your sensitivity to sunlight. Avoid prolonged sun exposure or use sunscreen.

It's important to complete the full course of the antibiotic even if you feel better, to ensure the infection is fully cleared. Avoid taking antacids, supplements containing calcium, magnesium, or iron within 2 hours of taking the tablet, as these can interfere with absorption.
