About 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.

To treat your condition effectually, continue using AMLOX CAPSULE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. Do not use AMLOX CAPSULE without doctor's advice if you had a skin reaction or irritation to any medicine. Do not use AMLOX CAPSULE 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 AMLOX CAPSULE 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.

Uses of AMLOX CAPSULE

Directions for Use

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.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • 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.

Besides this, you can also take prebiotics or probiotics to manage diarrhoea as it may help increase the number of good bacteria in the intestine, which aids indigestion.
