Drug-drug interaction studies have not been conducted with Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride.

Moxifloxacin should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus as there are no adequate and well-documented studies in pregnant women. Moxifloxacin has not been measured in human milk, although it can be presumed to be excreted in human milk. Caution should be exercised when Moxifloxacin is administered to a breast feeding mother.

Prolonged use may result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms, including fungi with other anti-infective.

Pediatric Use: The safety and effectiveness of Moxifloxacin in infants below four months of age was not proven. However, several clinical studies show that the drug may be used safely in children even younger than one month of age. Geriatric Use: No overall differences in safety and effectiveness have been observed between elderly and younger patients.

There is practically no risk of adverse effects due to accidental ingestion, since a bottle of 5 ml eye drops solution contains only 25 mg Moxifloxacin that is much lower than recommended daily oral dose.
