Moxifloxacin may decrease the number of certain types of blood cells in your body.
For this reason, you may bleed or get infections more easily.
To help resolve these issues, avoid being near people who are sick or have infections.
Wash your hands often. Stay away from rough sports or other situations where you could be bruised, cut, or injured.
Brush and floss your teeth gently. Be careful when using sharp tools, including razors and nail clippers.
