How Synerpen 250/250 MG Capsule 12 Works?

Synerpen 250/250 MG Capsule 12 comprises of two active ingredients:

Ampicillin (250 mg): This component belongs to a group of antibiotics known as beta-lactam antibiotics. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. Ampicillin is active against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
Cloxacillin (250 mg): Like ampicillin, cloxacillin is also a beta-lactam antibiotic. Its primary function is to fight against penicillinase-producing staphylococci (a type of bacteria). By doing so, it prevents these bacteria from building their cell walls, thereby stopping them from multiplying.

The combination of these two components provides broad-spectrum coverage against various bacterial infections.

Pregnancy

Synerpen 250/250 MG Capsule 12 should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. It's a good idea to consult your doctor before taking this medicine if you are pregnant.
