Product introduction
Moxibow 400 mg is an oral fluoroquinolone antibiotic whose active component is moxifloxacin. It acts by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, thereby preventing bacterial replication and leading to cell death. Moxifloxacin is commonly used in the treatment of a variety of bacterial infections, especially where broad tissue penetration and activity against resistant organisms is desired.

Moxifloxacin is prescribed (where approved) for bacterial infections including:
- Respiratory infections: community-acquired pneumonia, acute exacerbations of bronchitis, sinusitis
- Skin and soft tissue infections
- In some regions, intra-abdominal infections (depending on local regulatory labeling)
