How to use
Take this medication by mouth, with or without food, usually once daily or as directed by your doctor. Do not take more than prescribed. Drink plenty of fluids while using this drug unless your doctor tells you otherwise. Take this medication 4 hours before or 8 hours after taking any drugs that contain magnesium or aluminum. Some examples include quinapril, certain forms of didanosine (chewable/dispersible buffered tablets or pediatric oral solution), sucralfate, vitamins/minerals, and antacids. Follow the same instructions if you also take bismuth subsalicylate, iron, and zinc. These medications bind with moxifloxacin and prevent its full absorption. Antibiotics work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. Therefore, take this drug at evenly spaced intervals (at the same time every day). Continue to take this medication 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. Read the Patient Information Leaflet available from your pharmacist. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist. Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.
