PULMOXIL 250MG SUSPENSION has a similar method of killing bacteria as penicillin. PULMOXIL 250MG SUSPENSION kills the bacterial cell by blocking the chemical (mucopeptides) released by the bacteria's outer layer (cell wall). In turn, PULMOXIL 250MG SUSPENSION weakens and destroys the bacterial cell wall. It is a broad range of antibiotics that helps in fighting various types of bacteria.
