Moxetero Side Effects

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) based on all clinical studies with moxifloxacin 400 mg (oral and sequential [IV/oral]/intravenous only administration) sorted by CIOMS III categories of frequency (overall n= 17,951, including n = 4,583 from sequential/intravenous therapy studies; status: May 2010) are listed as follows: ADRs listed under "common" were observed with a frequency below 3% with the exception of nausea and diarrhea.
Within each frequency grouping, undesirable effects are presented in order of decreasing seriousness. Frequencies are defined as: common (≥ 1/100 to < 1/10), uncommon (≥ 1/1,000 to < 1/100), rare (≥ 1/10,000 to < 1/1,000), very rare (< 1/10,000). (See Table 7.)
