How Skilox Capsule Works

Flucloxacillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) in bacteria, leading to:

• Weakening of bacterial cell wall
• Prevention of bacterial growth

This makes it effective mainly against Gram-positive bacteria, especially Staphylococcus species.
