Composition

Each film-coated tablet contains:

• Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride USP equivalent to Moxifloxacin 400 mg

Therapeutic Class

Fluoroquinolone antibiotic (Systemic antibacterial)

Mechanism of Action

Moxifloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes that are essential for DNA replication, transcription, and repair in bacteria. Inhibition of these enzymes prevents bacterial cell division and leads to rapid bacterial death. Due to its dual-target mechanism, moxifloxacin demonstrates potent activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as atypical and anaerobic pathogens.

Indications

Odycin Tablet 400 mg is indicated for the treatment of various bacterial infections, including:

• Community-acquired pneumonia

• Acute bacterial sinusitis

• Acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis

• Skin and soft tissue infections

• Intra-abdominal infections (in combination with appropriate agents)

• Other infections caused by moxifloxacin-sensitive organisms

The use of Odycin Tablet should be guided by clinical judgment and local antimicrobial susceptibility patterns.
