Avelox® (moxifloxacin) is an antibiotic that is often prescribed to treat different types of bacterial infections. It is part of a class of drugs called fluoroquinolones, which work by interfering with important bacterial enzymes that are necessary for bacteria to be able to copy and repair DNA (steps required in order for bacteria to multiply). Avelox tablets, which are generally taken once a day, are only available in one strength. The medication also comes in an injectable form.
