A-CLOX-500MG INJ.

Description

A-CLOX 500MG Injection is a broad-spectrum antibiotic formulation containing Cloxacillin Sodium, a penicillinase-resistant beta-lactam antibiotic. It is specially designed to combat bacterial infections caused by penicillin-resistant staphylococci and other susceptible Gram-positive organisms. With a potent 500mg dosage, A-CLOX offers fast-acting relief from infections by targeting and inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, ultimately leading to the elimination of the harmful bacteria.

This injectable form ensures rapid onset of action and is ideal for patients who require immediate and effective treatment, especially in moderate to severe infections where oral administration may not be practical or sufficient. A-CLOX 500MG Injection is commonly used in hospitals and clinical settings under the supervision of healthcare professionals.

Therapeutic Uses: A-CLOX 500MG Injection is primarily used for treating:

• Skin and soft tissue infections (e.g., cellulitis, abscesses)

• Respiratory tract infections (e.g., pneumonia, bronchitis)

• Bone and joint infections (e.g., osteomyelitis, septic arthritis)

• Urinary tract infections

• Infections caused by penicillinase-producing Staphylococcus aureus

• Post-surgical or post-traumatic infections

Mechanism of Action: Cloxacillin, the active ingredient in A-CLOX 500MG, works by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) in the bacterial cell wall, thereby disrupting peptidoglycan synthesis. This results in weakened cell walls and ultimately causes the bacteria to lyse and die. Unlike standard penicillin, cloxacillin is resistant to destruction by beta-lactamase enzymes produced by certain resistant bacteria.

Administration and Dosage: A-CLOX 500MG Injection is administered via intramuscular (IM) or intravenous (IV) injection by a qualified healthcare provider. The exact dosage and duration of therapy depend on the type and severity of the infection, as well as patient-specific factors such as age, kidney function, and response to treatment.

Precautions and Contraindications:

• Not recommended for patients with known hypersensitivity to penicillins or cephalosporins.

• Caution is advised in patients with renal impairment.

• May cause allergic reactions, including rash, fever, or in rare cases, anaphylaxis.

• Prolonged use may lead to secondary infections, including fungal overgrowth.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Reconstituted solutions should be used immediately or stored as per medical guidelines.
