How It Works
Fixolexin Capsule contains Cephalexin which belongs to the class of medicines called cephalosporin antibiotics. It works by preventing bacteria from forming their protective cell walls. The antibiotic binds to specific proteins in the bacteria thus blocking the production of peptidoglycan which is an essential component of the cell wall. As a result, the bacterial walls become weak and break down causing the bacteria to die. This helps Fixolexin Capsule fight bacterial infections in your body and support recovery.
