CEFIXIME+DICLOXACILLIN+LACTOBACILLUS belongs to a class of drugs called antibiotics used to treat several bacterial infections of the urinary tract, ears, nose, throat, chest, and lungs.

CEFIXIME+DICLOXACILLIN+LACTOBACILLUS combines two antibiotics (Cefixime, Dicloxacillin) and one probiotic (Lactobacillus). Cefixime and Dicloxacillin work by interfering with forming the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) necessary for their survival. Thereby, damaging the bacterial cell wall and kills bacteria. Lactobacillus belongs to the class of probiotics (live microorganisms that keeps the body healthy) that help to restore good bacteria in the intestines. Thus, it prevents diarrhea and loss of beneficial bacteria due to prolonged intake of CEFIXIME+DICLOXACILLIN+LACTOBACILLUS.

Bacterial infections
CEFIXIME+DICLOXACILLIN+LACTOBACILLUS contains Cefixime, Dicloxacillin and Lactobacillus used to treat several bacterial infections. Cefixime and Dicloxacillin are two broad-spectrum antibiotics that act against both aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (grow in the absence of oxygen) gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. They interfere with forming a bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) necessary for their survival. Thereby, damages the bacterial cell wall and kills bacteria. Lactobacillus is a probiotic (live microorganism that keeps the body healthy) that helps restore good bacteria in the intestines. Thus, it prevents diarrhea and loss of beneficial bacteria due to prolonged intake of CEFIXIME+DICLOXACILLIN+LACTOBACILLUS.
