Moxifloxacin for Bronchitis "So far, I'm on day two, and my coughing has almost stopped. I've had a cough for three weeks, but it got worse almost overnight with a fever of 102 and chills three days ago. My doctor said I had a sinus infection, upper respiratory infection, and bronchitis. I can already tell this antibiotic really works, with only a little dizziness for a side effect."

Moxifloxacin for Pneumonia "Was put on a 7-day course and was instantly dizzy, extreme dizziness that made it feel like the floor was moving when walking. It does work fast, though, but the dizziness and anxiety almost makes it unbearable."

Moxifloxacin for Sinusitis "Had a double ear and sinus infection that didn't clear up with a round of antibiotics, went back to the walk-in and was prescribed Avelox. Scariest side effects EVER. After about 30 minutes, I felt a cold wave hit me in my stomach, I felt dizzy, lost feeling in most of the left side of my body, developed rashes and purple splotches all over my upper chest area, had trouble breathing, became hypertensive, and ended up with slurred speech and was in and out of consciousness until medical help arrived. Very scary. And that was just the first pill..."

For Pneumonia "Was put on moxifloxacin for bronchitis and pneumonia. Only on day 3 of the medication, however, I feel extremely disoriented and dizzy, with nausea that comes and goes. Feel that my lungs have cleared up a little so far, so it is effective."

Moxifloxacin for Sinusitis "Yes, it works! However, the side effects are horrible. Light-headed and majorly dizzy, to the point where I was very uncomfortable driving. This is the 2nd time I've used it and the same results each time. Caused me to call out of work for a whole week until the side effects were gone."

Moxifloxacin for Bacterial Infection "Avelox rocks. I had a bacterial infection and did not realize it until I was in urgent care after 8 days of misery. I went in thinking I had a double ear infection but was diagnosed with a bacterial infection. I am allergic to Amoxicillin, so my doctor gave me Avelox. I don't like it at all because of its side effects, but it works. After one day on it, I felt like a million bucks. However, my skin itches a wee bit, I'm dizzy, feel anxious, and paranoid. I have almost every side effect. I made the mistake of taking it on an empty stomach and heading to my daughter's school to pick her up. Just be careful. Learn how your body reacts to it."

Moxifloxacin for Bacterial Infection "This past Wednesday, my right nostril was a little sore, figured I was a little overly aggressive with the allergy early morning blowing. By Friday, 3:30 a.m., I woke up to stabbing pain all on the right side of my face! Swollen, and the tissue was HARD, nasal passage (where the infection started) was 3/4 closed! Today is day 4, my face is pliable again, still a little stiff close to my right nostril, but my lips, cheeks, and eyes feel great, nostril very slightly tender in comparison to Wednesday. This Avelox works, only problem I've had is dry mouth (drinking plenty of water) and a little lightheaded/dizzy, but I'm not driving, so that's okay!"

For Bacterial Infection "An ENT prescribed me Moxiget 400 mg (Moxifloxacin) after I got a sore throat and fever. This medicine started giving me stomach cramps the moment I took the very first tablet. It also caused severe headaches, dizziness, gas formation, nausea, and loss of appetite. Although my mother and I only took it for 5 days, it caused these similar reactions in both of us. This is the most pathetic medicine ever."

For Bacterial Infection "Today will be my 5th moxifloxacin pill of 10 on this course of medication. I have an infection in my intestines and tried other antibiotics that caused serious side effects, so after a CT scan, I was given moxifloxacin. First dose, very dizzy, the room was spinning, my legs hurt so bad. Did much better after the 2nd dose. Today, I can say side effects are gone. I feel good, better than I have in a long time, so I give this medication a thumbs up, I do suggest taking it at night."

For Bacterial Infection "I was prescribed this medication plus Cipro for a mild case of diverticulitis. Both are very heavy-duty drugs. After my third dose, I had a headache, nausea, I vomited, I was dizzy, and I couldn't hold down so much as a bite of toast, though I was supposed to start eating something after 24 hours of a liquid diet. The side effects of this medication are far worse than the condition for which I was being treated. Always question when you are being prescribed two powerful antibiotics."

Moxifloxacin for Bacterial Infection "I am on my 4th day of Avelox and going to try and stick it out despite the side effects. I was on another antibiotic for (Amoxicillin) diverticulitis last week, and it caused such bad diarrhea that I had to be switched to this. The 1st day I took it in the middle of the day. I had horrible nausea and dizziness, plus extremely fatigued. After that, I switched the time to after dinner before bed, and the side effects are easier to manage through the night. The only other problem is the extreme tiredness during the day. It seems to be clearing the diverticulitis, so I am going to finish the course."
