Mahaflox 400 mg Tablet

Mahaflox 400 mg Tablet is an antibiotic medicine that contains 400 mg of moxifloxacin in each tablet. It belongs to the fluoroquinolone class and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Mahaflox 400 mg Tablet is prescribed by a doctor when the infection is likely to respond to moxifloxacin and when this specific oral tablet strength is appropriate. The 400 mg tablet is a higher-strength, once-daily formulation intended for use only when a clinician has decided it is the right option for your infection.

How it works: Moxifloxacin works by blocking bacterial enzymes that bacteria need to copy and repair their DNA, which stops the germs from multiplying. In tablet form, Mahaflox 400 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed so the medicine can reach the infection site through the bloodstream.

Mahaflox 400 mg Tablet delivers the full 400 mg dose in one tablet, which is the standard tablet strength used for adult treatment when moxifloxacin is chosen. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this tablet is the product-specific option for patients who have been assessed by a doctor and need an oral once-daily antibiotic at this strength. It is not meant to be cut, doubled, or used as a starting dose unless your prescriber directs it.
