How Does It Work?

• Cefpodoxime+Dicloxacillin+Lactic Acid works by the combined action of its components - Cefpodoxime, Dicloxacillin and Lactobacillus.
• Both Cefpodoxime and Dicloxacillin are antibiotics, which work by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, which ultimately leads to the death of bacteria.
