About Novamox-LB 500 Capsule 10's

Novamox-LB 500 Capsule 10's belongs to the class of medicines called 'penicillin antibiotics' with probiotics. It treats various bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, skin, urinary tract, tonsillitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia. Besides this, Novamox-LB 500 Capsule 10's prevents antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, dysentery (water loss), and infectious diarrhoea. Novamox-LB 500 Capsule 10's is a broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. 

Novamox-LB 500 Capsule 10's contains two medicines, namely: Amoxycillin (antibiotic) and Lactic acid bacillus (probiotic). Amoxycillin is bactericidal (kills bacteria) that works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering (protective cell wall) necessary for their survival, thereby preventing the growth of bacteria. Lactic acid bacillus is a probiotic that helps restore the balance of good bacteria in the gut (digestive tract) destroyed due to the use of antibiotics.

Take Novamox-LB 500 Capsule 10's as prescribed. The dose and duration of Novamox-LB 500 Capsule 10's can vary depending on your condition and the severity of the infection. Sometimes, you may experience certain common side effects like skin rashes, nausea, vomiting, bloating, and gas. 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.

Consult a doctor before taking Novamox-LB 500 Capsule 10's if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid alcohol consumption to prevent unpleasant side effects.
