About Womoxy 250Mg Capsule

Womoxy 250Mg Capsule belongs to a group of antibiotics known as penicillin antibiotics. It is generally prescribed to prevent middle ear and sinus infections, throat or lung respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, soft tissue infections, dental infections, and joint and bone infections.

Womoxy 250Mg Capsule consists of two medicines: Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin acts by destroying the outer protein layer, thereby killing the bacteria (bactericidal action). Clavulanic acid inhibits the enzyme beta-lactamase, which prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of amoxycillin. As a result, the action of Clavulanic acid allows Amoxycillin to work better and kill the bacteria. Womoxy 250Mg Capsule does not work against infections caused by viruses, including colds and flu.

The dose of Womoxy 250Mg Capsule can vary depending on your condition and the severity of the infection. Also, it is recommended to complete the course of medicine even if you feel better as it is an antibiotic, and leaving it in between may lead to even severe infection that will, in fact, stop responding to the antibiotic as well (antibiotic resistance). The common side effects of Womoxy 250Mg Capsule include vomiting, nausea, and diarrhoea. Everyone may not experience the above side effects. In case of any discomfort, speak with a doctor.

Before starting Womoxy 250Mg Capsule, please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic) or kidney or liver problems. Do not take Womoxy 250Mg Capsule on your own as self-medication since it may lead to antibiotic resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Womoxy 250Mg Capsule is safe for children if prescribed by a doctor; the dose and duration may vary depending on the child’s weight and the severity of the infection. Inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking and about your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects.

Uses of Womoxy 250Mg Capsule

Bacterial Infections (Ear infections (acute otitis media), Bronchitis, Pneumonia, Urinary tract infections, skin infections, etc.)

Directions for Use

Tablet/Capsule: Swallow it as a whole with water; do not crush, break or chew it.Syrup/Suspension/Drops: Shake the bottle well before use. Take the prescribed dose by mouth using the measuring cup/dosing syringe/dropper provided by the pack.

Medicinal Benefits

Womoxy 250Mg Capsule is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that covers a very wide range of bacterial infections. Womoxy 250Mg Capsule has Clavulanic acid, which protects amoxycillin from getting destroyed by the bacterial enzyme, thus increasing its efficacy. Besides this, it helps overcome antibiotic resistance in bacteria that is caused by the enzyme beta-lactamase. This makes the drug effective in multiple infections like ear infections (acute otitis media), bronchitis, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin infections, etc.

Storage

Store in a cool and dry place away from sunlight

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics.
  • Whole grains like whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet.
  • Probiotics should be taken after taking a full course of Womoxy 250Mg Capsule in order to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines 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, kombucha, and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
  • Avoid alcoholic beverages with Womoxy 250Mg Capsule as they can make you dehydrated and may affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the Womoxy 250Mg Capsule in fighting off infections.

AMOXYCILLIN-250MG+CLAVULANIC ACID-125MGUlcerative colitis
Severe
How does the disease interact with Womoxy 250Mg Capsule:
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:
Womoxy 250Mg Capsule 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-250MG+CLAVULANIC ACID-125MGInfectious mononucleosis
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Womoxy 250Mg Capsule:
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:
Womoxy 250Mg Capsule should not be used in patients with mononucleosis (contagious infection caused by virus) as it may cause skin rash.
AMOXYCILLIN-250MG+CLAVULANIC ACID-125MGType 1 diabetes mellitus
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Womoxy 250Mg Capsule:
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 Womoxy 250Mg Capsule.

How to manage the interaction:
High urine concentrations of Womoxy 250Mg Capsule 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-250MG+CLAVULANIC ACID-125MGOther disorders of kidney and ureter, not elsewhere classified
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Womoxy 250Mg Capsule:
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 Womoxy 250Mg Capsule.

FAQs

Womoxy 250Mg Capsule contains Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering, which is necessary for the survival of the bacteria. Thus it kills the bacteria. Clavulanic acid works by decreasing bacterial resistance and enhancing the activity of amoxycillin against the bacteria. Together, Womoxy 250Mg Capsule helps in treating bacterial infections.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply and infect the body. It can target any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Bacterial infections vary from minor illnesses like sore throat and ear infections to severe brain infections like meningitis and encephalitis. You can experience generalised symptoms like fevers, chills, and fatigue when you get infected with bacteria. A few harmful bacteria commonly cause infections are Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and E. coli. Anyone can get a bacterial infection, but people with a weak immune system or taking immunosuppressive medicines like steroids are more prone to infections.
