How Skilox Capsule Works

Flucloxacillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), leading to:

This mechanism makes it particularly effective against Gram-positive bacteria, especially Staphylococcus species.
