About Moxilium 125 mg Syrup

Moxilium 125 mg Syrup is an antibiotic medicine used to treat bacterial infections in children. It is used in treating infections of the skin, throat, ear, and lungs caused by bacteria. A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter and grow in the body. This bacteria can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Moxilium 125 mg Syrup is effective in treating infections caused by bacteria only and does not treat viral infections like flu or a common cold.

Moxilium 125 mg Syrup contains Amoxicillin belonging to the penicillin class of drugs. It works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) and causing damage to the bacterial cell wall. This eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell and thus prevents the growth of bacterial infections.

Moxilium 125 mg Syrup may cause certain side effects in your child such as indigestion, diarrhoea, nausea, and stomach pain. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your paediatrician. Moxilium 125 mg Syrup should be used as advised by your doctor. Do not give more than the prescribed dose to the child. The dose of this medicine will be decided by your paediatrician depending on the type and severity of the infection.

Moxilium 125 mg Syrup is intended for pediatric use only. Avoid giving Moxilium 125 mg Syrup to your child if she/he is allergic to antibiotics.

AMOXYCILLIN-125MGUlcerative colitis

Severe

How does the disease interact with Moxilium 125 mg Syrup 30 ml:
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:
Moxilium 125 mg Syrup 30 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).

AMOXYCILLIN-125MGInfectious mononucleosis

Moderate

How does the disease interact with Moxilium 125 mg Syrup 30 ml:
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:
Moxilium 125 mg Syrup 30 ml should not be used in patients with mononucleosis (contagious infection caused by virus) as it may cause skin rash.

AMOXYCILLIN-125MGType 1 diabetes mellitus

Moderate

How does the disease interact with Moxilium 125 mg Syrup 30 ml:
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 Moxilium 125 mg Syrup 30 ml.

How to manage the interaction:
High urine concentrations of Moxilium 125 mg Syrup 30 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.

AMOXYCILLIN-125MGOther disorders of kidney and ureter, not elsewhere classified

Moderate

How does the disease interact with Moxilium 125 mg Syrup 30 ml:
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 Moxilium 125 mg Syrup 30 ml.
