I got an acid fast bacteria in a surgery site. This med along with Linzolid completely shut down my bone marrow. Red and white blood cells were so low I got pneumonia over night. Hemoglobin was half of what it was supposed to be. Had to get transfusions. Ankles were swelling and was always cold but it was because my body was retaining water to mix with blood to try to get oxygen around. Dangerously low platelets, red and white cells, and hemoglobin.

I took Moxifloxacin for 7 days to clear up a mycoplasma genitalia infection. I didn't really have any side effects and it cleared up the infection, so no complaints. The doctor did tell me to be careful since it can cause tendon issues.

Worst experience. Just took two dosses on two consecutive days. Bloating, abdominal cramping, sleeping difficulty, nausea. Feeling so weak too. I'll never take this medicine again.

I was being treated for b. v by e. Coli, right an hour and two of taking it I felt faint, my palms and feet started trembling, breathing became a struggle, nausea, 99.68 fever, weakness and fatigue on a whole new level, couldn't sleep at night due to discomfort. Day 2 same happened agin and continued to get worse.. I called my doc finally she preesed me to take another dose and see if it persist then she'll switch it to another. But by 3rd dose all the above symptoms got 100× and my chest felt as if it can't handle the pressure any more. I tried to sleep after a while but woke up after 2 hour and my husband saw my condition and rushed me to the ER.. The doc thought I was getting stroke, even my speech became forceful by now. Checked my ecg it came back normal. Ran a whole bunch of tests but everything came back normal.. They gave me some injections through iv to stabilize me by 7 am I felt a wee better.. Switched to another antibiotic now and everything else I gone except weakness and fatigue. Read More Read Less

I was given this Antibiotic some years ago by a treating Physician for a Sinus infection… When I tell you that I thought I was going to die, I couldn’t be more sincere. I woke up from my sleep with severe Chest pains and difficulty catching my breath. It felt like I was having a heart attack… I was sweating profusely. I could barely make it to the phone because my hands were shaking. I’ve never had such a severe reaction to a Drug… My medical chart now specifies in BOLD letters. Do not prescribe AVELOX. It is the first thing that I tell my doctors as well. This drug almost killed me. Beware this is a dangerous Drug..Read More Read Less

My doctor perscribed Moxifloxcin for me recently and it made my blood pressure spike severly. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I got as bloody nose suddenly and woke up with a sharp chest pain like something had ruptured. The FDA is not doing proper testing before putting drugs on the market. Far too often drugs that can cause death are being released with little or no warning. I had asked the pharmacist if there was anything I needed to know and she didn't tell me of any problems like this.Read More Read Less

I was given 5x tablets by my GP. I was very sick with pneumonia. This medication worked very well but I bad to stop the treatment on day 3 because of the side effects. Joint pains, extreme dizziness and nausea. 3 tablets were enough to clean my lung infection but the nausea persisted for 5 days ! ! ! Use this medication as last resort!

After the second dose I started having severe shoulder, wrist, finger and knee pain. I stopped the medication after the 4th dose (I was suppose to have 10 doses). I have been off of the medication for 3 weeks and the symptoms still persist.

Within a few days of taking this drug, I developed severe muscle pain/spasms, difficult urination, extreme anxiety and depression. This should absolutely be a drug of last resort only if you are dying and this is the only pill that will cure you.
