About Jolclo 500 mg Injection

Jolclo 500 mg Injection is an antibiotic medicine used to treat bacterial infections. A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter and grow in the body. This bacteria can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Jolclo 500 mg Injection is effective in treating infections caused by bacteria only and does not treat viral infections like flu or a common cold.

Jolclo 500 mg Injection contains Cloxacillin, a penicillinase-resistant penicillin which works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering). This eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell and thus prevents the growth of bacteria. Thereby, Jolclo 500 mg Injection helps treat bacterial infection.

Jolclo 500 mg Injection may cause certain side effects in some individuals, such as nausea, diarrhoea or soft stool, stomach upset, vomiting, headache, inflammation at the site of administration, and malaise (discomfort). These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Jolclo 500 mg Injection should be avoided if you are allergic to any of its components.
