Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Quihoxvar Work?
Quihoxvar acts by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes that play a crucial role in DNA replication and repair in bacteria. By disrupting these processes, Quihoxvar prevents bacterial cells from multiplying, ultimately leading to the death of the bacteria.
