Biocilin 250 Capsule 10 contains ampicillin (250 mg) which operates in your body as follows:

• Inhibits Bacterial Cell Wall Synthesis: Ampicillin works by blocking a crucial bacterial enzyme known as transpeptidase. This enzyme is necessary for creating peptidoglycan – a major component of the bacterial cell wall.

• Induces Bacterial Cell Lysis: By preventing the proper formation of the bacterial cell wall, ampicillin causes the bacterial cell to rupture or lyse. This eventually leads to the death of the bacteria, helping manage the infection.

• Keep Biocilin 250 Capsule 10 in its original package to protect it from air and sun light exposure.
