Cloxam Injection is a powerful broad-spectrum veterinary antibiotic formulated with the synergistic combination of Amoxycillin and Cloxacillin. Designed for rapid bacterial control, this injectable solution is highly effective against gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens commonly responsible for mastitis, respiratory infections, uterine infections, wound infections, and soft tissue conditions in livestock.
🧪 🔬 Composition
Each ml of Cloxam Injection contains:
- Amoxycillin – Broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotic with strong bactericidal action
- Cloxacillin – Beta-lactamase-resistant penicillin effective against resistant Staphylococcus species
👉 This dual combination attacks bacteria while protecting against beta-lactamase enzyme destruction, making it effective even in resistant infections.
⚙️ How Cloxam Injection Works
Cloxam Injection works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial lysis and death.
- Amoxycillin provides wide antibacterial coverage
- Cloxacillin resists beta-lactamase enzymes and targets resistant staphylococci
The synergistic action makes it ideal for mixed infections, especially in mastitis, post-calving uterine infections, and respiratory diseases.
