Zabimox-DX works by killing bacteria that cause infections. It does this by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for their survival.

Scientifically, Amoxycillin and Dicloxacillin inhibit the synthesis of peptidoglycan, an essential component of the bacterial cell wall, leading to cell lysis and death. They bind to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) within the bacterial cell wall, disrupting the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains necessary for cell wall strength and rigidity.

• Broad-Spectrum Activity — Effective against a wide range of bacteria.
• Combination Therapy — Combines two antibiotics for enhanced effectiveness.
• Convenient Dosage — Available in capsule form for easy administration.

Initial improvement in symptoms can be seen within a few days of starting the treatment. The full course usually lasts 7 to 14 days, depending on the infection. If there is no improvement within 3 to 5 days, consult your doctor.
