Cloxam Injection is a powerful broad-spectrum veterinary antibiotic formulated with the synergistic combination of Amoxycillin and Cloxacillin. This dual-acting injectable provides rapid, targeted antibacterial action against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria affecting livestock.
🔬 Composition
Each ml of Cloxam Injection contains:
- Amoxycillin – A broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotic with strong bactericidal activity
- Cloxacillin – A beta-lactamase-resistant penicillin effective against resistant Staphylococcus strains
👉 This combination attacks bacteria through dual mechanisms, ensuring superior effectiveness 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 destruction by beta-lactamase enzymes
This synergy makes Cloxam highly effective in mixed bacterial infections, especially in mastitis, respiratory diseases, and post-calving complications.
