How MOKCAN 500MG CAPSULE Works

MOKCAN 500MG CAPSULE contains a medicine called Amoxicillin which is a type of
antibiotic that belongs to the penicillin group. It works by inhibiting the
synthesis of bacterial cell walls. Bacteria have a protective outer layer called
the cell wall, which is essential for their survival. Amoxicillin interferes
with the enzymes that are responsible for forming the cell wall, specifically
targeting the cross-linking process. This weakens the cell wall, causing it to
rupture and ultimately leading to the death of the bacteria. This action makes
amoxicillin effective against a wide range of bacterial infections.
