Amoxycillin, Cloxacillin, Probenecid

Amoxycillin, Cloxacillin, and Probenecid is a combination of three antibiotic medications. It is used to treat severe infections caused by bacteria that are resistant to a single antibiotic. The medications work together to provide broader-spectrum coverage, making it more effective against a range of bacteria.
Amoxycillin is a penicillin antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. This helps prevent the bacteria from multiplying and eventually kills them. It is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Cloxacillin is another penicillin antibiotic that is specifically designed to combat Gram-positive bacteria. It is effective against staphylococcal infections, including those caused by methicillin-resistant strains.
Probenecid is a uricosuric drug that helps increase the excretion of uric acid in the urine. By doing so, it lowers the concentration of uric acid in the blood and helps prevent the formation of uric acid kidney stones. Additionally, Probenecid can increase the effectiveness of Amoxycillin and Cloxacillin by enhancing their elimination in the urine.
The combination of these three medications is typically prescribed for serious infections that require a high level of antibiotic activity, such as endocarditis (infection of the heart’s inner lining), meningitis (infection of the brain and spinal cord), and septic arthritis (infection of the joints).
Follow the doctor’s instructions when taking this combination medication to ensure the best outcome. Complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve, to prevent the infection from recurring or becoming resistant to the medication.
