Amoxycillin 250mg, Cloxacillin 250mg And Lactic Acid Bacillus 100 Million Spore Capsules Uses
This combination medicine is primarily used to treat bacterial infections. It is effective against a range of infections caused by susceptible bacteria, including respiratory tract infections (such as pneumonia, bronchitis), ear, nose, and throat infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and dental infections. The presence of Lactic Acid Bacillus helps to restore the natural gut flora, which can be disturbed by antibiotic therapy, thereby reducing the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
How Amoxycillin 250mg, Cloxacillin 250mg And Lactic Acid Bacillus 100 Million Spore Capsules works
This capsule contains three active ingredients: Amoxycillin, Cloxacillin, and Lactic Acid Bacillus. Amoxycillin and Cloxacillin are antibiotics that work by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, leading to the destruction of bacteria. Cloxacillin is particularly effective against penicillinase-producing staphylococci, which are resistant to amoxycillin alone. The combination provides a broader spectrum of antibacterial activity. Lactic Acid Bacillus is a probiotic that helps maintain a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria in the intestines, counteracting the disruption caused by antibiotics.
