Amoxycillin 250Mg, Dicloxacillin 250Mg And Lactic Acid Bacillus 60 Million Spore Capsule Uses
This combination capsule is an antibiotic medicine used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It is particularly effective against infections caused by susceptible bacteria, including those affecting the respiratory tract (such as sinusitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia), ear, nose, and throat infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and dental infections. The presence of lactic acid bacillus (a probiotic) helps maintain gut flora and reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
How Amoxycillin 250Mg, Dicloxacillin 250Mg And Lactic Acid Bacillus 60 Million Spore Capsule works
This capsule contains two antibiotics: Amoxycillin and Dicloxacillin. Amoxycillin is a broad-spectrum penicillin that stops bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial death. Dicloxacillin is a penicillinase-resistant penicillin, effective against bacteria that produce the enzyme penicillinase, which would otherwise inactivate amoxycillin. Together, they provide a synergistic effect against a wider range of bacteria. Lactic acid bacillus is a probiotic that helps replenish the beneficial bacteria in the gut, which can be depleted by antibiotics, thereby supporting digestive health.
