🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
This medicine works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Amoxycillin and dicloxacillin are beta-lactam antibiotics that bind to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) in the bacterial cell wall, preventing cross-linking of peptidoglycan and leading to bacterial cell lysis and death. Dicloxacillin is resistant to penicillinase enzymes produced by some bacteria, making it effective against penicillinase-producing staphylococci.
