Please contact your prescribing doctor or pharmacist immediately. A dose of moxifloxacin 400 mg three times daily is much higher than the standard once-daily dose, and this requires urgent medical review to ensure your safety. Additionally, because your ear infection is not fully controlled despite multiple medications, your doctor needs to re-evaluate your condition. They may need to change your prescription, perform an ear swab to identify the exact germ, or refer you to an ENT specialist. Please do not change your doses on your own, but seek a professional medical assessment today to safely adjust your treatment.
