Introduction to Megaclox Ampicillin and Dicloxacillin Capsules, 500 mg
Megaclox, provided by Lexaro Healthcare, features a fixed-dose combination of Ampicillin and Dicloxacillin, each at 500 mg per capsule. This combination antibiotic leverages the strengths of Ampicillin, a broad-spectrum penicillin, and Dicloxacillin, a penicillinase-resistant penicillin, to offer comprehensive coverage against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
Uses of Megaclox Ampicillin and Dicloxacillin Capsules, 500 mg
Megaclox is primarily prescribed for:
Treating a variety of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and skin and soft tissue infections.
Managing infections caused by both penicillin-sensitive and penicillin-resistant bacteria.
Providing empirical therapy for serious infections where a broad-spectrum antibiotic is warranted.
Benefits of Megaclox Ampicillin and Dicloxacillin Capsules, 500 mg
Combines the antibacterial properties of Ampicillin and Dicloxacillin for a broad-spectrum effect.
Effective against a wide range of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
Offers protection against beta-lactamase-producing bacteria due to the presence of Dicloxacillin.
Provides a convenient oral dosage form for effective treatment of various infections.

Mechanism of Action of Megaclox Ampicillin and Dicloxacillin Capsules, 500 mg
Ampicillin works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis through binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). This inhibition disrupts the cross-linking of peptidoglycan layers in the bacterial cell wall, leading to cell lysis and death.
Dicloxacillin is a penicillinase-resistant penicillin that also inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis. It is effective against beta-lactamase-producing bacteria that would otherwise inactivate standard penicillins, thus extending the antibacterial activity of the combination.
