Benefits of Amclox Capsule

Treatment of Bacterial infections
Amclox Capsule is a combination of two antibiotics, Ampicillin and Dicloxacillin. These antibiotics work by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering which is essential for the survival of bacteria. Together, they treat your infection effectively. This medicine usually makes you feel better within a few days, but you should continue taking it as prescribed even when you feel better to make sure that all bacteria are killed and do not become resistant.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

How to use Amclox Capsule

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Amclox Capsule is to be taken on an empty stomach.

How Amclox Capsule works

Amclox Capsule is a combination of ampicillin and dicloxacillin. This works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Ampicillin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that interferes with bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell death. Dicloxacillin is resistant to bacterial enzymes that inactivate other penicillins and strengthens the action against resistant bacteria. Together, they provide coverage against a wide range of bacterial infections.
