How Elmox DT 250 Tablet 10's Works

Elmox DT 250 Tablet 10's contains amoxicillin. It belongs to a class of medicines called penicillin-type antibiotics. It works by interfering with how bacteria build their protective outer walls. These cell walls are crucial for the bacteria's survival and structure in your body. By blocking the proteins needed to construct these walls, the medicine creates weak spots in the bacterial defence. As a result, the bacterial cells rupture and die. Because human cells do not have cell walls, this process specifically targets and destroys the bacteria causing your infection without damaging your body's own cells.
