How Can Rheumatoid Arthritis Be Treated?
My dr. Prescribed moxifloxacin Hcl 400 mg & prednisone for 14 days. I also take Celebrex, hydrocloriquine, methotrexate, had a recent Rituxin infusion for my Rheumotoid Arthritis. Am 75 yrs old. Am VERY hesitant to take this. My Dr. Insists third what I should take. Have had a persistent cough for a few months, get bronchitis easily. Your opinion on taking this drug?

Hello,
You can safely continue all your routine drugs.
It is better to start antibiotics as you are a high-risk candidate for pulmonary infective conditions including pneumonia.
Consult a general practitioner and start antibiotics like Levofloxacin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
