Benefits of Ampilox Capsule

Treatment of Bacterial infections
Ampilox 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.

How to use Ampilox Capsule

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

How Ampilox Capsule works

Ampilox 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.
