In the pre-clinical and clinical studies after moxifloxacin intake, changes in the heart electrophysiology were observed in the view of increasing the QT interval. Therefore for safety reasons the medication is contraindicated in patients with:
– congenital or diagnosed acquired increase of the QT interval;
– electrolytic balancedisorders, including uncorrected hypokalemia;
– clinically significant bradycardia;
– clinically significant heart failure with reduced ejection fraction of left ventricular;
– previous history of symptomatic arrhythmia.
