About LX-500 Capsule 10's

LX-500 Capsule 10's belongs to the group of antibiotics called cephalosporin used to treat various bacterial infections of the nose, lungs, ear, bones, joints, skin, urinary tract, prostate gland, and reproductive system. Besides this, LX-500 Capsule 10's is also used to treat dental infections. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. LX-500 Capsule 10's does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

LX-500 Capsule 10's is bactericidal in nature. LX-500 Capsule 10's works by blocking enzymes responsible for making peptidoglycan, an important component of the bacterial cell wall. Thereby, kills the bacteria and helps in treating and preventing the spread of infections.

Also, it is recommended to complete the course of medicine even if you feel better as it is an antibiotic.

In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, stomach pain, and skin rashes. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Before starting LX-500 Capsule 10's, please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic), kidney or liver problems.

LX-500 Capsule 10's may affect certain laboratory test results such as blood tests for liver function, glucose test, and coombs test.
