How Cobacta S Capsule works
Cobacta S Capsule is a combination of three medicines: Amoxycillin, Cloxacillin, and Serratiopeptidase. Amoxycillin and Cloxacillin are antibiotics which work by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering that is essential for the survival of bacteria in the human body. Together, they eradicate your infection effectively. Serratiopeptidase is an enzyme that works by breaking down the chemical messengers involved in pain and inflammation (redness and swelling).
