This combination is prescribed for treating bacterial infections including: - Skin and soft tissue infections - Respiratory tract infections like pneumonia and bronchitis - Ear, nose, and throat infections - Urinary tract infections - Bone and joint infections - Other infections caused by susceptible bacteria It is effective against both penicillin-resistant and non-resistant bacteria.

Both Ampicillin and Dicloxacillin are penicillin antibiotics that work by preventing bacteria from building their protective cell walls. Ampicillin interferes with the formation of bacterial cell walls, while Dicloxacillin does the same and is also resistant to breakdown by certain bacterial enzymes. Without intact cell walls, bacteria cannot survive and multiply. This stops the infection from spreading and allows your body's immune system to eliminate the remaining bacteria.
