Medicine Description flu-c 500mg
Flu-C 500 mg 6 sachets is a medication that combines amoxicillin and flucloxacillin, which are both penicillin-type antibiotics. Amoxicillin works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death of susceptible bacteria. Flucloxacillin, on the other hand, is effective against penicillinase-producing staphylococci, as it resists degradation by certain beta-lactamases. Together, these agents provide a broad spectrum of activity against various bacteria, making Flu-C effective in treating bacterial infections. The combination allows for a synergistic effect, improving efficacy against infections caused by resistant strains.
