Brief Answer:
It would take 150 hours for 99.7 % elimination.

Detailed Answer:
HI

The half life of Moxifloxacin is 11-15 hours. Means it takes 11- 15 hours for the body to remove 50% of moxifloxacin .

So by simple calculation as follows :

1. First 15 hours after stopping Moxiflox -- 50% will be removed .
2. Next 15 hours --- 50% of the remaining 50% will be removed , hence a total of 75%.

3. Next 15 hours -- total of 87.5%
4. Next 15 hours -- Total of 93.75 %
5. Next 15 hours --Total of 96.85 %
6. Next 15 hours -- Total of 98.35%
7. Next 15 hours -- 99.1%
8. Next --99.45%
9. Next -- 99.62%
10. next --99.71.

So it takes 150 hours for 99.7% elimination from the body . Any quantity remaining is not detectable by blood tests or is not significant in any manner.

Hope this answers your query
