Overdose of Moxifloxacin Ibisqus in details

When a dose is taken in higher dose than the recommended doses, it is called Overdose. Overdose always needs a clinical supervision. Any medicine or drug when consumed in Overdose produces untoward side effects on one or various organs in the body. A medicine is excreted in the kidney or metabolized in the liver most of the times. This process goes without any hurdles when taken in normal dose, but when taken in an overdose, the body is not able to metabolize it or send it out properly which causes the effects of anoverdose.

Single oral overdoses up to 2.8 g were not associated with any serious adverse events. In the event of acute overdose, the stomach should be emptied and adequate hydration maintained. ECG monitoring is recommended due to the possibility of QT interval prolongation. The patient should be carefully observed and given supportive treatment. The administration of activated charcoal as soon as possible after oral overdose may prevent excessive increase of systemic Moxifloxacin Ibisqus exposure. About 3% and 9% of the dose of Moxifloxacin Ibisqus, as well as about 2% and 4.5% of its glucuronide metabolite are removed by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis, respectively.

Single oral Moxifloxacin Ibisqus doses of 2000, 500, and 1500 mg/kg were lethal to rats, mice, and cynomolgus monkeys, respectively. The minimum lethal intravenous dose in mice and rats was 100 mg/kg. Toxic signs after administration of a single high dose of Moxifloxacin Ibisqus to these animals included CNS and gastrointestinal effects such as decreased activity, somnolence, tremor, convulsions, vomiting and diarrhea.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

The dose of Moxifloxacin Ibisqus is 400 mg (orally or as an intravenous infusion) once every 24 hours. The duration of therapy depends on the type of infection as described below.

For Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infections, therapy should usually be initiated with the intravenous formulation.

When switching from intravenous to oral dosage administration, no dosage adjustment is necessary. Patients whose therapy is started with Moxifloxacin Ibisqus I.V. may be switched to Moxifloxacin Ibisqus Tablets when clinically indicated at the discretion of the physician.

Oral doses of Moxifloxacin Ibisqus should be administered at least 4 hours before or 8 hours after antacids containing magnesium or aluminum, as well as sucralfate, metal cations such as iron, and multivitamin preparations with zinc, or VIDEX® (didanosine) chewable/buffered tablets or the pediatric powder for oral solution.

Impaired Renal Function

No dosage adjustment is required in renally impaired patients, including those on either hemodialysis or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

Impaired Hepatic Function

No dosage adjustment is recommended for mild, moderate, or severe hepatic insufficiency (Child-Pugh Classes A, B, or C).

Moxifloxacin Ibisqus I.V. should be administered by INTRAVENOUS infusion only. It is not intended for intra-arterial, intramuscular, intrathecal, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous administration.

Moxifloxacin Ibisqus I.V. should be administered by intravenous infusion over a period of 60 minutes by direct infusion or through a Y-type intravenous infusion set which may already be in place. CAUTION: RAPID OR BOLUS INTRAVENOUS INFUSION MUST BE AVOIDED.

Since only limited data are available on the compatibility of Moxifloxacin Ibisqus intravenous injection with other intravenous substances, additives or other medications should not be added to Moxifloxacin Ibisqus I.V. or infused simultaneously through the same intravenous line. If the same intravenous line or a Y-type line is used for sequential infusion of other drugs, or if the “piggyback” method of administration is used, the line should be flushed before and after infusion of Moxifloxacin Ibisqus I.V. with an infusion solution compatible with Moxifloxacin Ibisqus I.V. as well as with other drug(s) administered via this common line.

Preparation for administration of Moxifloxacin Ibisqus I.V. injection premix in flexible containers:

  1. Close flow control clamp of administration set.
  2. Remove cover from port at bottom of container.
  3. Insert piercing pin from an appropriate transfer set (e.g. one that does not require excessive force, such as ISO compatible administration set) into port with a gentle twisting motion until pin is firmly seated.

NOTE: Refer to complete directions that have been provided with the administration set.

Avoid taking antacids, vitamin or mineral supplements, sucralfate (Carafate), or didanosine (Videx) powder or chewable tablets within 8 hours before or 4 hours after you take Moxifloxacin Ibisqus. These other medicines can make Moxifloxacin Ibisqus much less effective when taken at the same time.

Taking Moxifloxacin Ibisqus can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Avoid exposure to sunlight, sun lamps, or tanning beds.

Moxifloxacin Ibisqus may cause swelling or tearing of a tendon (the fiber that connects bones to muscles in the body), especially in the Achilles’ tendon of the heel. These effects may be more likely to occur if you are over 60, if you take an oral steroid medication, or if you have had a kidney, heart, or lung transplant. Stop taking Moxifloxacin Ibisqus and call your doctor at once if you have sudden pain, swelling, tenderness, stiffness, or movement problems in any of your joints. Rest the joint until you receive medical care or instructions. Do not share this medication with another person (especially a child), even if they have the same symptoms you do.

Moxifloxacin Ibisqus precautions

Certain people who are very sick or very old or who are sensitive show an exacerbation of side effect of the drug which can turn dangerous at times. So, it is very important to remember the precautions while taking the medicine. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding are also special categories wherein extra care or precaution is needed when taking a drug. Few patients may have a hypersensitivity reaction to few medications, and that can be life-threatening rarely. Penicillin hypersensitivity is one example. Diarrhea, rashes are few other symptoms which need a watch. A patient with other co-existing diseases like liver disease, heart disease, kidney disease should take special precautions.

In some instances, the hypersensitivity and allergic reactions already occurred after the 1st administration and the doctor should be informed immediately.

Anaphylactic reactions in very rare instances can progress to a life-threatening shock, in some instances after the 1st administration. In these cases Moxifloxacin Ibisqus has to be discontinued, medical treatment (eg, treatment for shock) is required.

Moxifloxacin Ibisqus has been shown to prolong the QT interval of the ECG in some patients. It should be avoided in patients with known prolongation of the QT interval, patients with uncorrected hypokalaemia and patients receiving class IA (eg, quinidine, procainamide) or class III (eg, amiodarone, sotalol) antiarrhythmic agents, due to the lack of clinical experience with the drug in these patient populations.

An additive effect of Moxifloxacin Ibisqus and drugs that prolong the QT interval eg, cisapride, erythromycin, antipsychotics and tricyclic antidepressants cannot be excluded. Therefore, Moxifloxacin Ibisqus should be used with caution when given concurrently with these drugs.

Moxifloxacin Ibisqus should be used with caution in patients with ongoing pro-arrhythmic conditions eg, clinically significant bradycardia, acute myocardial ischemia.

As the magnitude of QT prolongation may increase with increasing concentrations of the drug, the recommended dose should not be exceeded. However, in patients suffering from pneumonia, no correlation between plasma concentrations of Moxifloxacin Ibisqus and QTc prolongation was observed. QT prolongation may lead to an increased risk for ventricular arrhythmias including Torsade de pointes. No cardiovascular morbidity or mortality attributable to QTc prolongation occurred with Moxifloxacin Ibisqus treatment in clinical studies with >9000 patients, however certain predisposing conditions may increase the risk for ventricular arrhythmias.

Seizures may occur with quinolone therapy. Moxifloxacin Ibisqus should be used with caution in patients with known or suspected CNS disorders which may predispose to seizures or lower the seizure threshold.

Due to limited clinical data, the use of Moxifloxacin Ibisqus is not recommended in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C).

Antibiotic-associated colitis has been reported with the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics including Moxifloxacin Ibisqus, therefore, it is important to consider this diagnosis in patients who develop serious diarrhoea in association with the use of Moxifloxacin Ibisqus. In this clinical situation, adequate therapeutic measures should be initiated immediately.

Tendon inflammation and rupture may occur with quinolone therapy including Moxifloxacin Ibisqus, particularly in elderly patients and in those treated concurrently with corticosteroids. At the 1st sign of pain or inflammation, patients should discontinue treatment and rest the affected limbs.

Quinolones have been shown to cause photosensitivity reactions in patients. However, in specially designed preclinical and clinical studies, photosensitivity has not been observed with Moxifloxacin Ibisqus. In addition, since first marketed, there has been no clinical evidence that Moxifloxacin Ibisqus causes photosensitivity reactions. Nevertheless, patients should be advised to avoid extensive exposure to either ultraviolet irradiation or sunlight.

For patients with complicated pelvic inflammatory disease (eg, associated with a tubo-ovarian or pelvic abscess), for whom an IV treatment is considered necessary, treatment with Moxifloxacin Ibisqus 400 mg tablets is not recommended.

Effect on the Ability to Drive or Operate Machinery: In clinical trials, a low incidence of CNS reactions was observed. However, patients should be cautioned to see how they react before driving or operating machinery.

What happens if I miss a dose of Moxifloxacin Ibisqus?

When you miss a dose, you should take it as soon as you remember, but you should take care that it should be well spaced from the next dose. You should not take an extra dose at the time of the second dose as it will become a double dose. The double dose can give unwanted side effects, so be careful. In chronic conditions or when you have a serious health issue, if you miss a dose, you should inform your health care provider and ask his suggestion.

Take the medicine as soon as you can, but skip the missed dose if your next dose is due in less than 8 hours. Do not take two doses at one time.

Call your doctor for instructions if you miss a dose of Moxifloxacin Ibisqus injection.
