What is Cloxacillin?
Active Ingredients: Cloxacillin Sodium
Cloxacillin Sodium Capsules are a drug that is used in the treatment of some bacterial infections, such as those of the skin, bone, heart valve, blood, and lung. This medication can be used against many different types of infections caused by staphylococcus bacteria that produce beta-lactamase.
This medicine will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or flu.
Cloxacillin Sodium is a beta-lactamase-resistant penicillin antibiotic that has been derived from oxacillin. The active ingredient works by inhibiting protein synthesis in the bacterial cell wall. It does not show activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
