Floxabid Tablet 750 mg contains Ciprofloxacin, a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and is commonly prescribed for moderate to severe infections where high-dose therapy is required.

Ciprofloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA replication, thereby stopping the growth and spread of infection. Floxabid 750 mg provides potent antibacterial action and is often used when lower doses are not sufficient.
