s immune system to fight off the infection.

 How does PENCLOXIN Suspension work?

PENCLOXIN Suspension contains Ampicillin and Cloxacillin as active ingredients. Ampicillin belongs to the penicillin group of antibiotics, while Cloxacillin is a type of penicillinase-resistant penicillin. Together, these antibiotics work by inhibiting the growth and multiplication of bacteria.

Ampicillin works by blocking the bacterial cell wall, preventing the bacteria from building and maintaining their cell structure. This ultimately leads to the death of the bacteria. On the other hand, Cloxacillin works by inhibiting the action of an enzyme called beta-lactamase, which is produced by some bacteria. Beta-lactamase breaks down certain types of antibiotics, including penicillins, making them ineffective. By inhibiting beta-lactamase, Cloxacillin enhances the activity of Ampicillin and other penicillins, making them more effective against bacteria that produce beta-lactamase.

It is important to note that PENCLOXIN Suspension should only be used for bacterial infections, as it is not effective against viral infections.

The dosage of PENCLOXIN Suspension is determined by the severity of the infection, the age and weight of the patient, and their overall health status. Generally, the recommended dose for adults is 250mg to 500mg of Ampicillin and Cloxacillin every 6 hours. For children, the dosage is usually calculated based on the childs weight, with a typical dose of 25mg to 50mg per kilogram of body weight, divided into 3 or 4 doses per day.
