Film coated tablets - 400mg 

Avacyn contains the active substance moxifloxacin hyrochloride, which belongs to a group of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. Avacyn works by killing bacteria that cause infections. It is used in patients aged 18 years and above for treating the following bacterial infections when caused by bacteria against which moxifloxacin is active.

Avacyn is used for treating the following bacterial infections, when usual antibiotics cannot be used or have not worked:

• infection of the sinuses (acute bacterial sinusitis);
• acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis;
• community acquired penumonia outside the hospital (except severe cases);
• mild to moderate infections of the female upper genital tract (pelvic inflammatory disease), including infections of the fallopian tubes and infections of the uterus mucous membrane        

Avacyn film-coated tablets are not sufficient on their own for treating this kind of infection, therefore, another antibiotic in addition to Avacyn film-coated tablets should be prescribed by your doctor for the treatment of infections of the female upper genital tract.

Avacyn film-coated tablets may also be used to complete a course of therapy in patients who have shown improvement during initial treatment with intravenous moxifloxacin for the following indications:

• complicated skin and skin structure infections;
• community acquired pneumonia.

Avacyn tablets should not be used to initiate therapy for any type of infections of the skin and soft tissue or in severe infections of the lungs.
