About PULMOCLOX 500MG CAPSULE

PULMOCLOX 500MG CAPSULE belongs to the class of medications called ‘antibiotics’ used to treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, skin, urinary tract, tonsillitis, bronchitis, bones, pneumonia, etc. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply and infect our bodies. Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body.

PULMOCLOX 500MG CAPSULE is a combination of two medicines: Amoxicillin and Dicloxacillin. Amoxicillin and Dicloxacillin are antibiotics showing bactericidal (kills bacteria) activity. They work by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering (protective cell wall) necessary for their survival. Together, PULMOCLOX 500MG CAPSULE helps treat bacterial infections.

Your doctor will recommend how often you take PULMOCLOX 500MG CAPSULE based on your medical condition. The common side effects of PULMOCLOX 500MG CAPSULE are heartburn, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, bloating, gas, mouth ulcers and red or swollen gums. These side effects usually go away without any medical attention. However, consult a doctor if any of these side effects persist or get worsen.

Also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Inform your doctor if you are using birth control pills, as the PULMOCLOX 500MG CAPSULE may decrease these pills' efficacy.
