AVELOX moxifloxacin 400 mg (as hydrochloride) tablet blister pack - ARTG 75766
Indication(s)

For the treatment of adults with infections caused by susceptible organisms in the conditions:

  • Acute bacterial sinusitis
  • Community acquired pneumonia
  • Acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis

Appropriate culture and susceptibility tests should be performed before treatment in order to isolate and identify organisms causing infection and to determine their susceptibility to moxifloxacin. Therapy with Avelox may be initiated, in some conditions, before results of these tests are known. Once results become available, therapy should be continued with the most appropriate antibiotic therapy.

Consideration should be given to available official guidance on the appropriate use of antibacterial agents.
