About this active substance

Moxifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, including respiratory infections, sinusitis, skin infections, and intra-abdominal infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial enzymes essential for DNA replication, thereby killing the bacteria.

The medication is administered orally or intravenously, depending on the severity of the infection. It is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including strains resistant to other antibiotics.

Side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, and, in rare cases, severe reactions such as tendinitis or tendon rupture. It is important to inform your doctor about any side effects or other medications you are taking.

Consult your doctor before use, especially if you have liver, kidney, or other health conditions. Use Moxifloxacin as directed to prevent the development of bacterial resistance.
