What is Moxyvit Forte 500?

Penicillins are used to treat infections caused by bacteria. They work by killing the bacteria or preventing their growth.

There are several different kinds of penicillins. Each is used to treat different kinds of infections. One kind of penicillin usually may not be used in place of another. In addition, penicillins are used to treat bacterial infections in many different parts of the body. They are sometimes given with other antibacterial medicines (antibiotics). Some of the penicillins may also be used for other problems as determined by your doctor. However, none of the penicillins will work for colds, flu, or other virus infections.

Penicillins are available only with your doctor's prescription.

Once a medicine has been approved for marketing for a certain use, experience may show that it is also useful for other medical problems. Although these uses are not included in product labeling, penicillins are used in certain patients with the following medical conditions:

• Chlamydia infections in pregnant women—Moxyvit Forte 500 and ampicillin
• Gas gangrene—Penicillin G
• Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis or peptic ulcer disease—Moxyvit Forte 500
• Leptospirosis—Ampicillin and penicillin G
• Lyme disease—Moxyvit Forte 500 and penicillin V
• Typhoid fever—Moxyvit Forte 500 and ampicillin

Helicobacter pylori Infection

Triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori with clarithromycin and lansoprazole:

Moxyvit Forte 500, in combination with clarithromycin plus lansoprazole as triple therapy, is indicated for the treatment of patients with H. pylori infection and duodenal ulcer disease (active or 1 year history of a duodenal ulcer) to eradicate H. pylori. Eradication of H. pylori has been shown to reduce the risk of duodenal ulcer recurrence.

Dual therapy for H. pylori with lansoprazole:

Moxyvit Forte 500, in combination with lansoprazole delayed-release capsules as dual therapy, is indicated for the treatment of patients with H. pylori infection and duodenal ulcer disease (active or 1 year history of a duodenal ulcer) who are either allergic or intolerant to clarithromycin or in whom resistance to clarithromycin is known or suspected. Eradication of H. pylori has been shown to reduce the risk of duodenal ulcer recurrence.

Usage

To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Moxyvit Forte 500 and other antibacterial drugs, Moxyvit Forte 500 should be used only to treat infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.

What other drugs will affect Moxyvit Forte 500?

Allopurinol: Concurrent administration may increase the incidence of rash and other allergic skin reactions.

Anticoagulants: There are rare reports of prolongation of prothrombin time in patients concomitantly on Moxyvit Forte 500. It is recommended that appropriate monitoring is carried out when Moxyvit Forte 500 is prescribed concurrently with anticoagulants.

Oral Contraceptives:

In common with other antibiotics, Moxyvit Forte 500 may affect the gut flora, leading to lower oestrogen reabsorption and reduced efficacy of combined oral contraceptives.

Probenecid: Decreases the renal tubular secretion of Moxyvit Forte 500. Concurrent use with Moxyvit Forte 500 may result in increased and prolonged blood levels of Moxyvit Forte 500.

Laboratory Tests: Glucose in Urine: Due to the high urinary concentrations of Moxyvit Forte 500, false positive readings are common with chemical methods.

The use of enzymatic glucose oxidase methods is recommended, as there is no interference from Moxyvit Forte 500.

What are the possible side effects of Moxyvit Forte 500?

. Overdosage

In case of overdosage, discontinue medication, treat symptomatically, and institute supportive measures as required. If the overdosage is very recent and there is no contraindication, an attempt at emesis or other means of removal of drug from the stomach may be performed. A prospective study of 51 pediatric patients at a poison-control center suggested that overdosages of less than 250 mg/kg of Moxyvit Forte 500 are not associated with significant clinical symptoms and do not require gastric emptying.3

Interstitial nephritis resulting in oliguric renal failure has been reported in a small number of patients after overdosage with Moxyvit Forte 500.

Crystalluria, in some cases leading to renal failure, has also been reported after Moxyvit Forte 500 overdosage in adult and pediatric patients. In case of overdosage, adequate fluid intake and diuresis should be maintained to reduce the risk of Moxyvit Forte 500 crystalluria.

Renal impairment appears to be reversible with cessation of drug administration. High blood levels may occur more readily in patients with impaired renal function because of decreased renal clearance of Moxyvit Forte 500. Moxyvit Forte 500 may be removed from circulation by hemodialysis.
