How Moxifonyl-400 Tablet 5's Works

Moxifonyl-400 Tablet 5's belongs to a class of antibiotics known as fluoroquinolones. It works by interfering with the vital enzymes that bacteria need to copy, repair, and read their own DNA. Without these enzymes, the bacteria cannot multiply, repair themselves, or survive. This action quickly kills the active bacteria causing the infection and stops it from spreading further in your body, allowing your immune system to successfully clear the remaining bacteria.
