Indications & Usage
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Moxifloxacin Injection is a fluoroquinolone antibacterial drug indicated for treating infections in adults ≥ 18 years of age caused by designated, susceptible bacteria.
( 1 , 12.4 ) Community Acquired Pneumonia ( 1.1 ) Skin and Skin Structure Infections: Uncomplicated ( 1.2 ) and Complicated ( 1.3 ) Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infections ( 1.4 ) Acute Bacterial Sinusitis ( 1.5 ) Acute Bacterial Exacerbation of Chronic Bronchitis ( 1.6 ) To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Moxifloxacin Injection and other antibacterial drugs, Moxifloxacin Injection should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria.
( 1.7 ) 1.1 Community Acquired Pneumonia Moxifloxacin Injection is indicated in adults (18 years of age or older) for the treatment of Community Acquired Pneumonia caused by susceptible isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae (including multi-drug resistant isolates*), Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, or Chlamydophila pneumoniae .
* MDRSP, Multi-drug resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae includes isolates previously known as PRSP (Penicillin-resistant S.
pneumoniae ), and are isolates resistant to two or more of the following antibiotics: penicillin (minimum inhibitory concentrations [MIC] ≥ 2 mcg/mL), 2nd generation cephalosporins (for example, cefuroxime), macrolides, tetracyclines, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )] .
1.2 Uncomplicated Skin and Skin Structure Infections Moxifloxacin Injection is indicated in adults (18 years of age or older) for the treatment of Uncomplicated Skin and Skin Structure Infections caused by susceptible isolates of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes [see Clinical Studies ( 14.5 )].
1.3 Complicated Skin and Skin Structure Infections Moxifloxacin Injection is indicated in adults (18 years of age or older) for the treatment of Complicated Skin and Skin Structure Infections caused by susceptible isolates of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, or Enterobacter cloacae [see Clinical Studies ( 14.6 )].
1.4 Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infections Moxifloxacin Injection is indicated in adults (18 years of age or older) for the treatment of Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infections including polymicrobial infections such as abscess caused by susceptible isolates of Escherichia coli, Bacteroides fragilis, Streptococcus anginosus, Streptococcus constellatus, Enterococcus faecalis, Proteus mirabilis, Clostridium perfringens, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, or Peptostreptococcus species [see Clinical Studies ( 14.7 )] .
1.5 Acute Bacterial Sinusitis Moxifloxacin Injection is indicated in adults (18 years of age or older) for the treatment of Acute Bacterial Sinusitis (ABS) caused by susceptible isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae , or Moraxella catarrhalis [see Clinical Studies ( 14.4 )] .
Because fluoroquinolones, including Moxifloxacin Injection, have been associated with serious adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 to 5.14 )] and for some patients ABS is self-limiting, reserve Moxifloxacin Injection for treatment of ABS in patients who have no alternative treatment options.
1.6 Acute Bacterial Exacerbation of Chronic Bronchitis Moxifloxacin Injection is indicated in adults (18 years of age or older) for the treatment of Acute Bacterial Exacerbation of Chronic Bronchitis (ABECB) caused by susceptible isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, or Moraxella catarrhalis [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )].
Because fluoroquinolones, including Moxifloxacin Injection, have been associated with serious adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 to 5.14 )] and for some patients ABECB is self-limiting, reserve Moxifloxacin Injection for treatment of ABECB in patients who have no alternative treatment options.
1.7 Usage To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Moxifloxacin Injection and other antibacterial drugs, Moxifloxacin Injection should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria.
When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy.
In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The data described below reflect exposure to moxifloxacin in 14,981 patients in 71 active controlled Phase II - IV clinical trials in different indications [see Indications and Usage ( 1 )] .
The population studied had a mean age of 50 years (approximately 73% of the population was < 65 years of age), 50% were male, 63% were Caucasian, 12% were Asian and 9% were Black.
Patients received moxifloxacin 400 mg once daily PO, IV, or sequentially (IV followed by PO).
Treatment duration was usually 6 to 10 days, and the mean number of days on therapy was 9 days.
Discontinuation of moxifloxacin due to adverse events occurred in 5% of patients overall, 4.1% of patients treated with 400 mg PO, 3.9% with 400 mg IV and 8.2% with sequential therapy 400 mg PO/IV.
The most common adverse events leading to discontinuation with the 400 mg PO doses were nausea (0.8%), diarrhea (0.5%), dizziness (0.5%), and vomiting (0.4%).
The most common adverse event leading to discontinuation with the 400 mg IV dose was rash (0.5%).
The most common adverse events leading to discontinuation with the 400 mg IV/PO sequential dose were diarrhea (0.5%) and pyrexia (0.4%).
Adverse reactions occurring in ≥ 1% of moxifloxacin-treated patients and less common adverse reactions, occurring in 0.1 to < 1% of moxifloxacin-treated patients, are shown in Table 2 and Table 3 , respectively.
The most common adverse drug reactions (≥ 3%) are nausea, diarrhea, headache, and dizziness.

It cannot be determined if any of the above laboratory abnormalities were caused by the drug or the underlying condition being treated.
6.2 Postmarketing Experience Table 4 lists adverse reactions that have been identified during post-approval use of moxifloxacin.
Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
