About this product
Overview
RAYMOX 400 MG TABLET contains Moxifloxacin as its active ingredient. It belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics and is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Moxifloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes, thus disrupting DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination in susceptible bacteria.
Mechanism of Action
Moxifloxacin exerts its bactericidal effect by interfering with the essential enzymes involved in bacterial DNA synthesis and repair. By targeting DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, Moxifloxacin disrupts the supercoiling of bacterial DNA, leading to inhibition of bacterial growth and eventual cell death.
