ABOUT MOXIFORD TABLET

Moxiford Tablet belongs to the class of antibiotics and is primarily used to treat bacterial infections. Bacterial infections occur when harmful bacteria invade the body, multiply rapidly, and cause illness, potentially affecting any part of the body.

Moxiford Tablet contains Moxifloxacin, a bactericidal agent that kills bacteria responsible for various infections. It works by inhibiting the bacteria’s ability to replicate their genetic material (DNA), effectively stopping their reproduction and killing the bacteria.

USAGE AND DOSAGE

Moxiford Tablet should be taken as prescribed by your doctor, both in dosage and duration. It is recommended to take the tablet with food at a fixed time for optimal effect. Even if you feel better, complete the full course of treatment to ensure the infection is fully eradicated.
