Pharmacology
The antimicrobial action of Moxifloxacin results from inhibition of the topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase) and topoisomerase IV. DNA gyrase is an essential enzyme that is involved in the replication, transcription and repair of bacterial DNA. Topoisomerase IV is an enzyme known to play a key role in the partitioning of the chromosomal DNA during bacterial cell division.
Dosage & Administration
One drop in the affected eye(s) 2 times daily for 7 days.

Pregnancy & Lactation
Moxifloxacin should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus as there are no adequate and well-documented studies in pregnant women. Moxifloxacin has not been measured in human milk, although it can be presumed to be excreted in human milk. Caution should be exercised when Moxifloxacin is administered to a breast feeding mother.
Precautions & Warnings
Prolonged use may result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms, including fungi with other anti-infective.
Use in Special Populations
Pediatric Use: The safety and effectiveness of Moxifloxacin in infants below four months of age was not proven. However, several clinical studies show that the drug may be used safely in children even younger than one month of age.
Geriatric Use: No overall differences in safety and effectiveness have been observed between elderly and younger patients.
Geriatric Use: No overall differences in safety and effectiveness have been observed between elderly and younger patients.
