Moxibact (400mg) 5 Tablets

Moxibact 400mg Tablets contain Moxifloxacin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the fluoroquinolone class. It is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections affecting the respiratory tract, skin, sinuses, and urinary tract. Moxibact works by stopping the growth and multiplication of bacteria, helping the body eliminate the infection. It is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and is usually prescribed for infections when other antibiotics are not effective or suitable.
