How Acoclox Capsule 10 Works?
Acoclox Capsule 10 is composed of two active ingredients:
- Amoxicillin (250 mg): This ingredient works by binding to and inactivating enzymes called penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) within the bacterial cell. PBPs are involved in building and reshaping the bacterial cell wall. By disrupting PBPs' function, amoxicillin weakens the cell wall and causes the bacterium to break down due to an imbalance in fluid content.
- Cloxacillin (250 mg): Similar to amoxicillin, cloxacillin also inhibits PBPs, but it is resistant to being broken down by certain enzymes produced by bacteria known as beta-lactamases. Its special structure allows it to bind PBPs but makes it a poor target for beta-lactamases, which helps it maintain effectiveness against certain strains of staphylococci.
Safety Measures & Warnings

Caution is advised while taking Acoclox Capsule 10 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
Breastfeeding
Both amoxicillin and cloxacillin are passed into breast milk in small amounts. If you are a nursing mother, exercise caution before taking Acoclox Capsule 10.
Alcohol
It's best to avoid alcohol while taking Acoclox Capsule 10 as it may increase the risk of certain side effects like nausea and vomiting.

- Antigout medication: Medicines like probenecid and allopurinol reduce the kidney's ability to remove amoxicillin. This can lead to higher levels of amoxicillin in your blood, causing an increase in side effects such as skin rashes.

Drug-Food Interactions
Acoclox Capsule 10 does not have significant interactions with specific foods.
Drug-Disease Interactions
Acoclox Capsule 10 interacts with the following diseases:
- Kidney impairment: Those with kidney issues should use this medicine cautiously, as limited excretion by the kidneys can cause elevated blood levels of the medicine.
- Fungal or bacterial superinfection: Long-term use of this medicine might lead to a secondary infection by fungi or bacteria that are desensitised to this medicine. In such cases, stop taking the medicine and consult your doctor immediately.
