How Skilox Suspension 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:

• Disruption of bacterial cell wall formation
• Prevention of bacterial growth
• Death of susceptible bacteria

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