AMLOX CAPSULE

AMLOX CAPSULE belongs to a group of anti-bacterial or antibiotics known as penicillin. AMLOX CAPSULE 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.

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

AMLOX CAPSULE is available in oral tablets, capsules and syrup dosage forms. You should take the syrup form of AMLOX CAPSULE as your doctor advises. The tablet or capsule form of AMLOX CAPSULE 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 AMLOX CAPSULE, 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 AMLOX CAPSULE may cause temporary staining of teeth (especially in children) that can be removed by brushing.

You can drink alcoholic beverages while taking amoxicillin, as it does not interact with AMLOX CAPSULE. It is generally well-tolerated among adults, children, and pregnant, and breastfeeding women. Do not take AMLOX CAPSULE if you are allergic to amoxicillin, or penicillin antibiotics, have liver/kidney problems and had any vaccinations.

AMLOX CAPSULE is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that helps treat various bacterial infections like ear, nose, or throat (ENT) infections, skin infections, genitourinary tract, and lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) caused by susceptible bacteria. AMLOX CAPSULE is effective against gram-positive (S. pneumoniae) and gram-negative bacteria (E Coli, Haemophilus influenza, Neisseria gonorrhoea). Besides this, AMLOX CAPSULE also helps treat stomach ulcers caused by the H Pyroli bacteria. And if combined with antibiotics like clarithromycin and acidity, medicine like lansoprazole help reduce the symptoms of duodenum ulcer. AMLOX CAPSULE can be safely prescribed and well-tolerated among adults, pregnant and nursing mothers. 

• Feeling sick (nausea)
• Diarrhoea

Serious allergic reactions may be reported in patients taking AMLOX CAPSULE, including raised itchy skin rashes, wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing. Taking AMLOX CAPSULE may cause antibiotic-induced diarrhoea in some cases. Penicillin antibiotics, blood thinners (warfarin, coumadin), uric acid-lowering drugs (allopurinol, probenecid), and anti-cancer or anti-arthritis drugs (methotrexate) may severely interact with AMLOX CAPSULE. Tell your doctor if you have chronic kidney disease or viral glandular fever (mononucleosis) before taking AMLOX CAPSULE. This medicine may lower the efficiency of oral birth control pills or contraceptive devices. An intake of AMLOX CAPSULE may alter some glucose urine tests like the copper reduction test report.

Drug-Drug Interactions: Taking AMLOX CAPSULE with penicillin antibiotics, blood thinners (warfarin, coumadin), uric acid-lowering drug (allopurinol, probenecid), and anti-cancer or anti-arthritis drug (methotrexate) may severely interact with AMLOX CAPSULE.

Drug-Food Interactions: Grapefruit juice and dietary supplements containing minerals like calcium may also work to dampen the effect of antibiotics.

Drug-Disease Interactions: AMLOX CAPSULE should not be given in the condition of colitis, glandular fever, and chronic kidney disease. Colitis is characterized by severe diarrhoea and abdominal cramps associated with the passage of mucous and blood via stool or vomiting.

• METHOTREXATE

• After taking the full course of AMLOX CAPSULE, 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 AMLOX CAPSULE.
• Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with AMLOX CAPSULE as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the AMLOX CAPSULE in fighting off infections.

Bacterial infections: A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply, and infect our body. It can target any body part and multiple very quickly. When you get infected with bacteria, you can experience generalized symptoms like fevers, chills, and fatigue. Bacteria are of various forms comprising commonly spherical, rod, and spiral-shaped. Bacterial infections vary from minor illnesses like sore throat and ear infections to severe brain infections like meningitis and encephalitis. Few harmful bacteria that cause infections include Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and E. coli. Anyone can become infected with a bacterial infection. But, people with weak immune systems or taking immunosuppressive medicine can make you more prone to bacterial infection.
