Lupimox C Capsule contains Amoxicillin 250mg and Cloxacillin 250mg it is a combination of two medicines. Amoxicillin and Cloxacillin is penicillin derivative that has a bactericidal effect by killing the bacterial cell wall which is needed for the multiplication of bacteria.
Amoxicillin is in a class of medications called penicillin-like antibiotics. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Clavulanic acid is in a class of medications called beta-lactamase inhibitors. It works by preventing bacteria from destroying amoxicillin.Cloxacillin binds to and inactivates penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall, thereby preventing the cross-linkage of peptidoglycans, which are critical components of the bacterial cell wall.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
