About Almox Syrup
Almox Syrup belongs to a group of anti-bacterial or antibiotics known as penicillin. Almox Syrup is used to prevent and treat different types of bacterial infections like chest infections (pneumonia, bronchitis), ear/nose/throat (ENT) infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, leg ulcers, gum ulcers, and dental infections, and pressure sores. Besides this, it is also used with various antibiotics like clarithromycin to treat stomach ulcers caused by H. Pyroli bacteria.
Almox Syrup has a similar method of killing bacteria as penicillin. Almox Syrup kills the bacterial cell by blocking the chemical (mucopeptides) released by the bacteria's outer layer (cell wall). In turn, Almox Syrup weakens and destroys the bacterial cell wall. It is a broad range of antibiotics that helps in fighting various types of bacteria.
Almox Syrup is available in oral tablets, capsules and syrup dosage forms. You should take the syrup form of Almox Syrup as your doctor advises. The tablet or capsule form of Almox Syrup should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew or break it. Most bacterial infections get treated within one week, while some conditions might take longer. So, it would be best if you tried to complete the prescribed dosage. During the treatment with Almox Syrup, you may observe some common side effects like feeling sick (nausea) and diarrhoea. But these side effects are usually in the initial phase and then resolve after some time. However, if these side effects persist, let your doctor know. Prolonged intake of the liquid form of Almox Syrup may cause temporary staining of teeth (especially in children) that can be removed by brushing.
To treat your condition effectually, continue using Almox Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. Do not use Almox Syrup without doctor's advice if you had a skin reaction or irritation to any medicine. Do not use Almox Syrup in more than prescribed doses or longer duration as it may cause adverse effects. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and all the medicines you take before taking Almox Syrup to rule out any side effects. Do not discontinue or abruptly stop the medication as it may lead to antibiotic resistance, a condition in which bacteria become resistant to antibiotics.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise
- After taking the full course of Almox Syrup, probiotics should be taken to restore some of the healthy bacteria in the intestine that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut and kimchi can restore the intestine's good bacteria stink.
- Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria which helps stimulate their growth. Thus fibre foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after taking a course of antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread, and brown rice, should be included in your diet.
- Avoid taking too many calcium-enriched foods and drinks as it might affect the working of Almox Syrup.
- Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with Almox Syrup as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the Almox Syrup in fighting off infections.

Nearly all antibacterial medications have been associated with Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD), formerly known as pseudomembranous colitis, which can range in severity from mild diarrhoea to deadly colitis. Lincomycin and clindamycin are typically to blame. Antibacterial treatment disrupts the colon's normal flora, promoting the growth of C. difficile, whose toxins A and B contribute to the emergence of CDAD.
How to manage the interaction:
Almox 125 mg Syrup 60 ml should be used with caution in patients with a history of gastrointestinal disease, particularly colitis (inflammation in the large intestine) and pseudomembranous colitis (generally characterized by severe, persistent diarrhoea and severe abdominal cramps and sometimes associated with the passage of blood and mucus).
When given an aminopenicillin antibiotic for mononucleosis, patients may experience a pruritic, erythematous, maculopapular skin rash. Usually, the rash self-limits and goes away a few days after the offending chemical is stopped. The underlying mechanism has been suggested to be a changed drug metabolism or an immune-mediated process unrelated to drug hypersensitivity. Patients with mononucleosis shouldn't receive treatment with antibiotics containing aminopenicillin.
How to manage the interaction:
Almox 125 mg Syrup 60 ml should not be used in patients with mononucleosis (contagious infection caused by virus) as it may cause skin rash.
When utilising Clinitest®, Benedict's Solution, or Fehling's Solution to test for the presence of glucose in urine, high ampicillin concentrations in the urine may provide false-positive results. It is advised to use glucose tests based on enzymatic glucose oxidase reactions,as this effect may also occur with Almox 125 mg Syrup 60 ml.
How to manage the interaction:
High urine concentrations of Almox 125 mg Syrup 60 ml may result in false-positive reactions when testing for the presence of glucose in urine using Benedict's Solution or Fehling's Solution. Hence, it is recommended to use glucose tests based on enzymatic glucose oxidase reactions.
The kidneys remove the majority of beta-lactam antibiotics as unaltered drugs and, in some situations, as metabolites as well. In patients with poor renal function, the blood concentrations of beta-lactam antibiotics and their metabolites may rise, and their half-lives may be prolonged. According to the individual product package labelling, dosage modifications may be required. These alterations should be based on the severity of the infection as well as the degree of renal impairment. Renal function tests should be carried out on a regular basis during prolonged and/or high-dose therapy because these medicines have occasionally been linked to nephrotoxicity and changes in renal function.
How to manage the interaction:
Dose adjustments may be required in patients with kidney impairment. Kidney function tests should be performed at regular intervals during prolonged and/or high-dose therapy since nephrotoxicity (rapid deterioration in kidney function) and alterations in kidney function have occasionally been associated with the use of Almox 125 mg Syrup 60 ml.
