Moxifloxacin is an antibiotic belonging to the fluoroquinolone class, used to treat various bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting the enzymes that bacteria need to replicate and repair their DNA, effectively stopping their growth. Moxifloxacin is commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections, skin infections, and certain types of abdominal infections. This medication is available in oral and intravenous forms, making it versatile for different treatment settings. Like all antibiotics, it is important to use moxifloxacin only as prescribed to prevent antibiotic resistance. Patients should be aware of potential side effects, which can include nausea, diarrhea, and dizziness.
