Introduction
Duoclox 125 mg/125 mg Capsule is a combination of two active antibiotics, Ampicillin and Cloxacillin, used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It contains two active ingredients: Ampicillin, which works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall), and Cloxacillin, which increases the efficiency of the medicine and helps in treating infections caused by resistant bacteria. Together, these two medicines not only kill the infection-causing bacteria but also arrest the spread of the infection.
Directions for Use

How it works
Duoclox 125 mg/125 mg Capsule contains two active ingredients: Ampicillin and Cloxacillin. Ampicillin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) which is essential for the survival of the bacteria. At the same time, cloxacillin works toward increasing the efficiency of this medicine and helps in treating the infections caused by resistant bacteria. Together, these two medicines not only kill the infection-causing bacteria but also arrest the spread of the infection.
Quick Tips
Complete the entire course of antibiotics without stopping the medicine in between. Sudden withdrawal may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection. Make sure your child drinks plenty of water if they develop diarrhea as a side effect. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Give Duoclox 125 mg/125 mg Capsule to your child only for their current infection. Avoid storing the medicine for future use as it is impossible to judge whether the same medicine would work for any future illnesses. Stop this medicine and immediately report to your child's doctor in case your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties while taking this medicine.
