Product Details
- Name: Barbiclox (Ampicillin and Cloxacillin)
- How It Works: Barbiclox is a combination of two penicillin antibiotics, ampicillin and cloxacillin. They work by preventing bacteria from forming their protective cell walls, which leads to the death of the bacteria. This dual action makes it effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria, including those that might be resistant to single antibiotics.
- Form: Available as an Oral Suspension (Syrup, made from powder mixed with water)
- Warning:
- This is a prescription-only medication and should only be used under medical supervision.
- Allergy: Do not use if you are allergic to penicillin or any other beta-lactam
- antibiotics.
- Complete the course: The full course of treatment must be completed, even if symptoms improve earlier, to prevent antibiotic resistance.
- Side Effects: Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and skin rash. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of a severe allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing).
- Storage: The liquid suspension needs to be stored in a refrigerator after mixing and discarded after 14 days.
