AVELOX is a prescription oral antibiotic with nearly 10 million patient uses worldwide. It works by killing the types of bacteria that most often cause common adult RTIs.* And, it is clinically proven to be generally safe and effective for the treatment of acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis (ABECB),* acute bacterial sinusitis (ABS),* andcommunity-acquired pneumonia (CAP).* AVELOX also treats uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections.*

AVELOX travels rapidly through the bloodstream and gets to where it is needed fast.^† So make the most of every moment of every day and ask your healthcare provider if AVELOX is right for you.
