Moxifloxacin-warfarin interaction
Two case reports presented here show elevated prothrombin time/international normalized ratios (PT/INR) following coadministration of warfarin and moxifloxacin. Although the underlying mechanism of this interaction still remains unclear, health care providers should be careful when prescribing moxif...
