Let your healthcare team know about all other medications you are taking as some may affect, or be affected by this medicine.

The most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, flatulence, loss of appetite, tiredness, headache, skin rash, dryness in mouth, and metallic taste. Most of these are temporary and usually resolve with time. Contact your doctor straight away if you are at all concerned about any side effects.

How Pylomox Kit works

Pylomox 500 mg/750 mg/15 mg Kit is a combination of 2 antibiotics, Tinidazole and Amoxycillin, and a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) Lansoprazole, which treat peptic ulcers caused by bacteria. Lansoprazole reduces the amount of acid in the stomach and allows healing of ulcers. Tinidazole kills bacteria and other microorganisms that cause infections by damaging their DNA.
