The Cefolac XL 200 Tablet contains two active antibiotics which work together:

• Cefixime (200 mg): This third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic works by binding to proteins within the bacterial cell wall, rendering them inactive. By doing so, it weakens the cell wall leading to the bacteria eventually bursting and dying.

• Cloxacillin (500 mg): As a penicillinase-resistant penicillin antibiotic, cloxacillin also targets proteins within the bacterial cell wall. It binds irreversibly to these proteins, switching off enzymes that help build the bacterial cell wall. This leads to cell breakdown and bacterial death.

By working together, cefixime and cloxacillin offer a broad-spectrum antibacterial activity that helps manage the infection effectively.
