Does cloxacillin contain penicillin?

I have a deadly allergy to penicillin. I was recently given some cloxacillin capsules to take for an eye infection. Is cloxacillin a type of penicillin? The tablets I have are called Lincox 500, and the only ingredient it says on the packaging is cloxacillin. Naturally I am very vigilant as my allergy is such that I will die within a few hours if I have penicillin. Can you help please?
