PULMOCLOX 500MG CAPSULE belongs to the class of medications called ‘antibiotics’ used to treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, skin, urinary tract, tonsillitis, bronchitis, bones, pneumonia, etc. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply and infect our bodies. Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body.
PULMOCLOX 500MG CAPSULE is a combination of two medicines: Amoxicillin and Dicloxacillin. Amoxicillin and Dicloxacillin are antibiotics showing bactericidal (kills bacteria) activity. They work by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering (protective cell wall) necessary for their survival. Together, PULMOCLOX 500MG CAPSULE helps treat bacterial infections.
Take PULMOCLOX 500MG CAPSULE as prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor will recommend how often you take PULMOCLOX 500MG CAPSULE based on your medical condition.

Do not take PULMOCLOX 500MG CAPSULE if you are allergic to any antibiotics (especially penicillin).
