Moxinow Tablet

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush or break it unless your doctor has told you to. Take it with or without food, but not with milk or antacids. Taking it at about the same time each day helps you remember. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.

This medicine combines 2 active ingredients: Moxifloxacin and Cefixime. Moxifloxacin kills the bacteria causing your infection by blocking the enzymes they use to copy their DNA. Cefixime kills the bacteria causing your infection by destroying the cell wall that holds them together.

Stop and contact your doctor at once if you develop pain, swelling or tenderness in a tendon — the Achilles tendon at the back of the ankle in particular. This group can damage tendons, and the risk is higher in older people and with steroids. Report any new numbness, tingling or burning in the hands or feet promptly. Tell your doctor about any change in mood, confusion or agitation. Avoid strong sunlight and use sun protection — this group makes the skin burn more easily. Finish the whole course; this group is heavily associated with antibiotic resistance and should be used only when prescribed. Finish the whole course even after you feel better — stopping early breeds resistant bacteria. Tell your doctor if you have ever had a severe reaction to penicillin; a small proportion of people react to both groups. Report severe or watery loose motions during or after the course rather than treating them yourself. Several medicines in this group are on Schedule H1 precisely because overuse drives antibiotic resistance. Take it only when a doctor has prescribed it for you.

Store below 30°C in the original pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
