Moxifloxacin is an antibiotic, used to treat bacterial infections,[4] including pneumonia, conjunctivitis, endocarditis, tuberculosis, and sinusitis.[4][5] It can be given by mouth, by injection into a vein, and as an eye drop.[5]

Common side effects include diarrhea, dizziness, and headache.[4] Severe side effects may include spontaneous tendon ruptures, nerve damage, and worsening of myasthenia gravis.[4] Safety of use in pregnancy and breastfeeding is unclear.[6] Moxifloxacin is in the fluoroquinolone family of medications.[4] It usually kills bacteria by blocking their ability to duplicate DNA.[4]

Moxifloxacin was patented in 1988 and approved for use in the United States in 1999.[7][8] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[9] In 2021, it was the 286th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 700,000 prescriptions.[10][11]
