    J.01.M.A.14   Moxifloxacin

    Pharmacodynamics:

    Moxifloxacin is a bactericidal antibacterial preparation of a broad spectrum of action of the fluoroquinolone series. The bactericidal effect of the drug is due to the inhibition of bacterial topoisomerases II and IV, which leads to a disruption of the biosynthesis of the DNA of the microbial cell and, as a consequence, to the death of microbial cells.The minimum bactericidal concentrations of the preparation as a whole are comparable to its minimum inhibitory concentrations.

    Mechanisms that lead to the development of resistance to penicillins, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, macrolides and tetracyclines, do not interfere with the antibacterial activity of moxifloxacin. Cross-resistance between these groups of antibacterial drugs and moxifloxacin is not noted. So far, no cases of plasmid resistance have been observed. The overall frequency of development of resistance is very low (10-7-10-10). Resistance to moxifloxacin develops slowly by multiple mutations. Multiple effects of moxifloxacin on microorganisms at concentrations below the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) are accompanied by only a slight increase in MIC. There are cases of cross-resistance to quinolones. Nevertheless, some gram-positive and anaerobic microorganisms resistant to other quinolones retain sensitivity to moxifloxacin.

    It was found that the addition of a methoxyfloxacin methoxy group at the C 8 position increases the activity of moxifloxacin and reduces the formation of resistant mutant strains of Gram-positive bacteria.The addition of a bicyclo-amine group at the C7 position prevents the development of an active efflux, a mechanism of resistance to fluoroquinolones.

    Moxifloxacin is in vitro active against a wide range of gram-negative and gram-positive microorganisms, anaerobes, acid-fast bacteria and atypical forms such as Mycoplasma spp., Chlamidia spp., Legionella spp., And bacteria resistant to beta-lactam and macrolide antibiotics.

    Influence on human intestinal microflora

    In two studies conducted on volunteers, the following changes in the intestinal microflora following oral administration of moxifloxacin were observed: a decrease in the concentrations of Escherichia coli, Bacillus spp., Bacteroides vulgatus, Enterococcus spp., Klebsiella spp., As well as anaerobes Bifidobactericum spp., Eubacterium spp., Peptostreptococcus spp. These changes were reversible within two weeks. There were no toxins of Clostridium dificile.

    * Sensitivity to moxifloxacin is confirmed by clinical data.

    ** When identifying strains of Staphylococcus containing MesA genes, the use of moxifloxacin is not recommended.

    For certain strains, the spread of acquired resistance may vary depending on the geographical region and over time. In this regard, when testing the sensitivity of a strain, it is desirable to have local information on resistance, especially when treating severe infections.

    If the patients undergoing treatment in the hospital, the value of AUC /MIC90 exceeds 125, and Cmax / MIC90 is within the range of 8-10, this implies a clinical improvement. In outpatients, the value of these parameters is usually less: AUC /MIC90 >30-40.

    Pharmacokinetics:

    Absorption and bioavailability

    When taken orally moxifloxacin absorbed quickly and almost completely. Absolute bioavailability is about 91%. The pharmacokinetics of moxifloxacin when administered at a dose of 50 to 1200 mg once, and also at 600 mg / day for 10 days is linear. The equilibrium state is reached within 3 days.

    After a single administration of 400 mg of moxifloxacin, the maximum concentration (Cmax) in the blood is reached within 0.5-4 hours and is 3.2 mg / l.

    When moxifloxacin is taken with food, there is a slight increase in the time to reach Cmax (for 2 hours) and a slight decrease in Cmax (approximately 16%), while the duration of absorption does not change. However, these data have no clinical significance, and the drug can be used regardless of food intake.

    Distribution

    Moxifloxacin is rapidly distributed in tissues and organs and binds to blood proteins (mainly albumins) by about 45%. The distribution volume is approximately 2 l / kg.

    High concentrations of the drug, exceeding those in the plasma, are created in the lung tissue (including alveolar macrophages), in bronchial mucosa, in nasal sinuses, in exudate from the focus of skin inflammation. In the interstitial fluid and in saliva, the drug is determined in a free, non-protein-binding form at a concentration higher than in the plasma. In addition, high concentrations of the drug are determined in the organs of the abdominal cavity and peritoneal fluid, as well as in the tissues of the female genital organs.

    Metabolism

    After passing the second phase of biotransformation moxifloxacin is excreted from the body by the kidneys and the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) both in unmodified form and in the form of inactive sulfo compounds and glucuronides. Moxifloxacin does not undergo biotransformation by the microsomal system of cytochrome P450.

    Excretion

    The half-life of the drug is approximately 12 hours. The average total clearance after taking in a dose of 400 mg is from 179 to 246 ml / min. About 19% of a single dose (400 mg) is excreted unchanged by the kidneys, about 25% by the gastrointestinal tract.

    Pharmacokinetics in different patient groups

    Age, gender and ethnicity.

    Age, sex and ethnic clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of moxifloxacin have not been established.

    Children. The pharmacokinetics of moxifloxacin in children have not been studied.

    Renal failure. There were no significant changes in the pharmacokinetics of moxifloxacin in patients with impaired renal function (including patients with creatinine clearance <30 mL / min / 1.73 m2) and in those on continuous hemodialysis and long-term outpatient peritoneal dialysis.

    Violation of the function of the liver. In patients with minor and moderate impairment of liver function (stage A and B according to the Child-Pugh classification), the pharmacokinetics of moxifloxacin does not change.In patients with severe impairment of liver function (Child-Pugh, Stage C), there is no data on the pharmacokinetics of moxifloxacin.

    Overdose:There are limited data on the overdose of moxifloxacin. In case of an overdose, one should be guided by the clinical picture and carry out symptomatic maintenance therapy with ECG monitoring. Acceptance of activated carbon at an early stage of absorption prevents further systemic exposure of moxifloxacin, which should be considered in the event of an overdose of the drug.
    Interaction:

    Correction of the dose is not required when combined with atenolol, ranitidine, calcium-containing additives, theophylline, oral contraceptives, glibenclamide, itraconazole, digoxin, morphine, probenicide (no clinically significant interaction with moxifloxacin was confirmed). Antacids, sucralfate. multivitamins and other preparations containing salts of magnesium, aluminum, iron and zinc

    The use of moxifloxacin concomitantly with antacids, multivitamins and minerals can lead to impaired absorption of moxifloxacin after ingestion due to the formation of chelate complexes with polyvalent cations contained in these preparations. As a result, the concentration of moxifloxacin in plasma can be significantly lower than desired. Consequently, antacids, antiretroviral drugs (eg, didanosine) and other preparations containing magnesium or aluminum, sucralfate and other preparations containing iron or zinc, should be prescribed at least 4 hours before or 4 hours after taking moxifloxacin inside.

    Warfarin

    When combined with warfarin prothrombin time and other parameters of blood coagulation do not change.

    Changing the MHO value. In patients who received anticoagulants in combination with antibiotics, including moxifloxacin, there are cases of increased anticoagulant activity of anticoagulants. Risk factors are the presence of an infectious disease (and concomitant inflammatory process), the age and general condition of the patient. Despite the fact that the interaction between moxifloxacin and warfarin is not detected, in patients receiving concomitant treatment with these drugs, it is necessary to monitor the INR and, if necessary, adjust the dose of oral anticoagulants.

    Digoxin

    Moxifloxacin and digoxin do not significantly affect the pharmacokinetic parameters of each other. With the appointment of repeated doses of moxifloxacin, the maximum digoxin concentration increased by approximately 30%, while the values ​​of the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and the minimum digoxin concentration did not change.

    Drugs that extend the QT interval

    Potential interactions of moxifloxacin, resulting in the risk of developing an additive effect, to an increase in the QT interval: with drugs that extend the QT interval (including antiarrhythmic drugs of class IA, III, tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants, neuroleptics, macrolides, antimicrobials, derivatives imidazole, cisapride).

    Activated carbon

    With the simultaneous use of activated carbon and moxifloxacin inside at a dose of 400 mg, the systemic bioavailability of the drug is reduced by more than 80% as a result of inhibition of its absorption. In the case of an overdose, the use of activated carbon at an early stage of absorption inhibits further increase in systemic exposure.

    Food and Dairy Products

    Absorption of moxifloxacin does not change with simultaneous intake of food (including dairy products). Moxifloxacin can be taken regardless of food intake.

    Special instructions:

    In some cases, after the first use of the drug may develop hypersensitivity and allergic reactions, which should immediately inform the doctor. Very rarely, even after the first use of the drug, anaphylactic reactions can progress to a life-threatening anaphylactic shock.In these cases, treatment with moxifloxacin should be discontinued and necessary medical measures (including anti-shock) should be carried out.

    When moxifloxacin is used, prolongation of the QT interval may be noted in some patients. When analyzing the ECG, obtained during clinical trials, the QT interval was +/- 6 msec, 1.4% compared to the initial one. Since women have a longer QT interval than men, they may be more sensitive to drugs that extend the QT interval. Elderly patients are also more prone to drugs that affect the QT interval. The degree of elongation of the QT interval may increase with increasing drug concentration, therefore, do not exceed the recommended dose. However, in patients with pneumonia, there was no correlation between the concentration of moxifloxacin in the blood plasma and the prolongation of the QT interval. The prolongation of the QT interval is associated with an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias, including polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. None of the 9,000 patients who received moxifloxacin, there were no cardiovascular complications and lethal cases associated with prolongation of the QT interval.However, in patients with predisposing arrhythmias, the risk of developing ventricular arrhythmias may increase with moxifloxacin. Concerning moxifloxacin can not be administered to patients with established QT interval elongation, patients with unadjusted hypokalemia, and also to patients who receive antiarrhythmic drugs IA (quinidine, procainamide) or class III (amiodarone, sotalol, ibutilide).

    Because of the risk of developing an additive effect on the QT interval moxifloxacin It should not be administered simultaneously with drugs that extend the QT interval (cisapride, erythromycin, antipsychotics, tricyclic antidepressants), patients with arrhythmia predisposing states such as clinically significant bradycardia, acute myocardial ischemia, and those patients with cirrhosis who can not rule out the risk of developing QT interval prolongation, especially for women and elderly patients how these categories of patients are more sensitive to drugs that extend the QT interval).

    When moxifloxacin was taken, cases of fulminant hepatitis, potentially leading to liver failure (including fatal cases), were reported.The patient should be informed that if symptoms of hepatic insufficiency occur, the doctor should be consulted before continuing with moxifloxacin.

    Reported cases of bullous skin lesions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis). The patient should be informed that in case of symptoms of skin or mucous membrane damage, the doctor should be consulted before continuing with moxifloxacin therapy. The use of drugs quinolone series is associated with a possible risk of seizures. Moxifloxacin should be used with caution in patients with CNS diseases and in conditions suspicious of CNS involvement predisposing to the occurrence of seizures or reducing the threshold of seizure activity.

    Against the background of therapy with fluoroquinolones, including moxifloxacin, especially in elderly patients receiving glucocorticosteroids, tendonitis and tendon rupture may develop. At the first symptoms of pain or inflammation at the site of damage, taking the drug should stop and unload the affected limb.

    The use of broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs, including moxifloxacin, is associated with a risk of developing antibiotic-associated colitis (including pseudomembranous colitis). This diagnosis should be kept in mind in patients who have severe diarrhea with moxifloxacin. In this case, immediate therapy should be prescribed. Preparations that inhibit the intestinal peristalsis are contraindicated in the development of severe diarrhea. Moxifloxacin should be used with caution in patients with myasthenia gravis due to possible exacerbation of the disease.

    When applying quinolones, photosensitivity reactions are noted. However, during pre-clinical, clinical trials, as well as with the use of moxifloxacin, no photosensitivity reactions were observed in practice. Nevertheless, patients receiving moxifloxacin, should avoid direct sunlight and ultraviolet irradiation.

    The use of the drug is not recommended in patients with complicated inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs (for example, associated with tubo-ovarian or pelvic abscesses).

    Effect on the ability to drive transp. cf.and fur:Fluoroquinolones, including Moxifloxacin Canon, may impair the ability of patients to drive vehicles and engage in other potentially hazardous activities requiring increased attention and speed of psychomotor reactions, due to influence on the central nervous system.
