Betegtájékoztató

VIGAMOX
®
(MOXIFLOXACIN HYDROCHLORIDE OPHTHALMIC SOLUTION) 
0.5% AS BASE
DESCRIPTION: VIGAMOX
®
 (moxifloxacin HCl ophthalmic solution) 0.5% is a sterile ophthalmic
solution.  It is an 8-methoxy 
fluoroquinolone anti-infective for topical ophthalmic use.
CHEMICAL NAME: 
1-Cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-8-methoxy-7-[(4aS,7aS)-octahydro-6H-pyrrolol[3,4-b]pyridin-6-yl]-4-oxo-3-
quinolinecarboxylic acid, monohydrochloride.
Moxifloxacin hydrochloride is a slightly yellow to yellow crystalline
powder. Each mL of VIGAMOX
® 
solution contains 5.45 mg 
moxifloxacin hydrochloride equivalent to 5 mg moxifloxacin base.
CONTAINS: ACTIVE:  Moxifloxacin 0.5% (5 mg/mL); INACTIVES:  Boric
acid, sodium chloride, and purified water.  May also contain 
hydrochloric acid/sodium hydroxide to adjust pH to approximately 6.8.
VIGAMOX
®
 solution is an isotonic solution with an osmolality of approximately
290 mOsm/kg.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY:
PHARMACOKINETICS:  Plasma concentrations of moxifloxacin were
measured in healthy adult male and female subjects who 
received bilateral topical ocular doses of VIGAMOX
®
 solution 3 times a day.  The mean steady-state C
max
 (2.7 ng/mL) and 
estimated daily exposure AUC (45 ng·hr/mL) values were 1,600 and
1,000 times lower than the mean C
max
 and AUC reported 
after therapeutic 400 mg oral doses of moxifloxacin.  The plasma
half-life of moxifloxacin was estimated to be 13 hours.
MICROBIOLOGY:
Moxifloxacin is an 8-methoxy fluoroquinolone with a diazabicyclononyl
ring at the C7 position.  The antibacterial action of 
moxifloxacin results from inhibition of the topoisomerase II (DNA
gyrase) and topoisomerase IV.  DNA gyrase is an essential 
enzyme that is involved in the replication, transcription and repair
of bacterial DNA.  Topoisomerase IV is an enzyme known to 
play a key role in the partitioning of the chromosomal DNA during
bacterial cell division.
The mechanism of action for quinolones, including moxifloxacin, is
different from that of macrol
