About CEFIXIME+CLOXACILLIN+LACTOBACILLUS SPOROGENES
CEFIXIME+CLOXACILLIN+LACTOBACILLUS SPOROGENES belongs to a group of drugs known as 'antibiotics' used to treat various bacterial infections. It effectively treats infections of the respiratory tract (pneumonia), urinary tract, ear, nose, and throat. It is also prescribed to treat STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases). Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick.
CEFIXIME+CLOXACILLIN+LACTOBACILLUS SPOROGENES contains Cefixime, Cloxacillin and Lactobacillus sporogenes. Cefixime works by blocking the chemical (mucopeptides) released by the outer layer (cell wall) of the bacteria and destroying the bacterial cell wall. Cloxacillin blocks the third and last stage of synthesis of bacteria's outer layer (cell wall). Lactobacillus sporogenes help balance the number of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract (gut) to manage water loss (diarrhoea) due to antibiotics or infections.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Bacterial infection: A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply, and infect the body. It can target any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Bacterial infections vary from minor illnesses like throat and ear infections to severe brain infections like meningitis and encephalitis. When you get infected with bacteria, you can experience generalized symptoms like fevers, chills, and fatigue. Anyone can get a bacterial infection, but people with a weak immune system or taking immunosuppressive medicines like steroids are more prone to infections.
