Elimination of antibiotic from the body. Computer artwork showing the mechanisms by which a dose of the antibiotic moxifloxacin (Avelox) is broken down and removed from the body. Moxifloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat respiratory infections. Approximately 52 percent of oral or intravenous dose is metabolised by the liver (upper left arrow,); 45 percent of a dose is excreted as unchanged drug - 20 percent in urine (centre arrows),25 percent in faeces (bottom arrow) - and a total of 96 percent or an oral dose is excreted as either unchanged drug or metabolites | |
