How To Use
  • Follow all instructions for proper mixing and dilution with the correct IV fluids.
  • If you have questions regarding the use of Avelox Iv, consult your pharmacist.
  • Give Avelox Iv by vein (IV) over 1 hour in a saline solution usually once daily (every 24 hours), or as directed by your doctor.
  • The length of treatment depends on your medical condition and response to therapy.
  • Antibiotics work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level.
  • Therefore, give Avelox Iv at evenly spaced intervals.
  • Continue to use Avelox Iv until the full-prescribed amount is finished even if symptoms disappear after a few days.
  • Stopping the medication too early may allow bacteria to continue to grow, which may result in a relapse of the infection.
  • Inform your doctor if your condition does not improve in 7 days.
  • Before using, check this product visually for particles or discoloration.
  • If either is present, do not use the liquid.
  • Avelox Iv should not be mixed with other injectable medications.
  • Learn how to store and discard needles and medical supplies safely.
  • Consult your pharmacist.

Side Effects
  • Nausea, vomiting, headache, diarrhea, or mild dizziness may occur.
  • If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor.
  • Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: redness/irritation/pain at the injection site, unusual vaginal itching or discharge, severe dizziness, mental/mood changes.
  • Tell your doctor immediately if any of these highly unlikely but very serious side effects occur: stomach pain, yellowing eyes or skin, dark urine, irregular heartbeat, seizures.
  • Based on information from related drugs, tendon damage has been reported infrequently.
  • Stop taking Avelox Iv and tell your doctor immediately if you develop: unusual muscle/tendon pain or swelling.
  • Use of Avelox Iv for prolonged or repeated periods may result in a secondary infection (e.g., oral or vaginal fungal infection).
  • Contact your doctor if you notice white patches in your mouth, a change in vaginal discharge or other new symptoms.
  • An allergic reaction to Avelox Iv is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs.
  • Symptoms of an allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, trouble breathing.
  • If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Precautions
  • Tell your doctor your medical history, especially of: liver disease, heart problems (e.g., arrhythmias, bradycardia), seizure disorders, any allergies (especially to other quinolone antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin or levofloxacin).
  • Avelox Iv may make you dizzy; use caution engaging in activities requiring alertness such as driving or using machinery.
  • Limit alcoholic beverages.
  • Caution is advised when using Avelox Iv in the elderly because they may be more sensitive to the side effects (e.g., tendon problems), especially if they are also taking corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone, hydrocortisone).
  • Avelox Iv is not recommended for use in children less than 18 years of age.
  • Avelox Iv may cause problems with bone or joint development in young children.
  • Avelox Iv should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy.
  • Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.

  • Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.

Missed Dose

  • If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule.
  • Do not double the dose to catch up.

Drug Interactions
  • Tell your doctor of all prescription and nonprescription medication you may use, especially: live vaccines, corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone, hydrocortisone).
  • Other drugs besides moxifloxacin which may affect the heart rhythm (QTc prolongation in the EKG) include amiodarone, dofetilide, pimozide, quinidine, sotalol, procainamide, and sparfloxacin among others.
  • QTc prolongation can infrequently result in serious, rarely fatal, irregular heartbeats.
  • Consult your doctor or pharmacist for details.
  • Ask for instructions about whether you need to stop any other QTc-prolonging drugs you may be using in order to minimize the risk of this effect.
  • Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.
