moxifloxacin
1. What Avelox is and what it is used for
Avelox contains the active substance moxifloxacin, which belongs to a group of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. Avelox works by killing bacteria that cause infection.
Avelox is used in patients aged 18 years and older to treat the following bacterial infections caused by bacteria that moxifloxacin is effective against. Avelox should only be used to treat these infections when standard antibiotics cannot be used or have not worked:
Sinus infection, sudden worsening of long-term inflammation of the airways ( chronic bronchitis ), or pneumonia ( pneumonia ) that has been received outside of the hospital (does not apply to serious cases).
Mild to moderate infection in the upper parts of the woman’s abdomen ( inflammation of the small pelvis), including infection in the fallopian tubes and infection in the lining of the uterus. It is not enough to treat these types of infections with Avelox tablets alone, but your doctor will prescribe an additional antibiotic in addition to Avelox tablets to treat infections in the upper parts of the woman’s genitals (see section 2: What you need to know before you are taking Avelox, Warnings, and Precautions, Talk to your doctor before taking Avelox).
If the following bacterial infection you have improved in initial treatment with Avelox solution for infusion solution can Avelox tablets prescribed by your doctor to complete the treatment: pneumonia ( pneumonia ) acquired outside the hospital, skin and soft tissue infections. Avelox tablets should not be used for the initial treatment of any type of skin or soft tissue infection or pneumonia.

- The risk of heart problems may increase if the dose is increased. Therefore, the recommended dosing instructions must be followed.
- There is a small risk that you may have a severe, sudden allergic reaction (an anaphylactic reaction/shock), already at the first dose one, with the following symptoms: pressure over the chest, that you feel dizzy, feel unwell, feel faint or dizzy when you get up.

Contact your doctor before continuing treatment if you develop signs such as sudden malaise and/or nausea in combination with yellowing of the whites of the eyes, dark urine, itchy skin, bleeding tendencies, or brain disease caused by the liver (symptoms of hepatic impairment or a sudden and severe inflammation of the liver ).
- Severe skin reactionsSevere skin reactions including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) have been reported with moxifloxacin.
- Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis may first appear as red, target-like spots or round spots, often with blisters in the center, on the torso. In addition, sores in the mouth, throat, nose, genitals, and eyes (red and swollen eyes) may occur. These severe skin rashes are often preceded by fever and/or flu-like symptoms. The rash can develop into widespread peeling and complications that can be life-threatening or fatal.
- Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) occurs at the beginning of treatment as a red, widespread, and flaky rash with lumps under the skin and blisters along with fever. Most often located in skin folds, on the upper body, and on the arms.

This includes pain in tendons, muscles, and joints in arms and legs, difficulty walking, abnormal sensations such as ant crawling, tingling, tingling, numbness or a burning sensation ( paresthesia ), sensory disturbances in the form of impaired vision, taste, smell, and hearing, depression, impaired memory, extreme fatigue, and severe sleep problems.

- If your vision is impaired or if your eyes are affected in other ways, contact an eye specialist immediately (see sections Driving and using machines and 4. Possible side effects s ).
- Fluoroquinolone -type antibiotics may cause your blood sugar level to rise above normal (hyperglycemia) or decrease your blood sugar level below normal (hypoglycemia), which may lead to loss of consciousness (hypoglycaemic coma ) in severe cases (see section 4. Possible side effects ). If you have diabetes, your blood sugar should be monitored carefully.
