Richclox 125mg/125mg Capsule
Prescription Required
Your child’s medicine at a glance
Richclox 125mg/125mg Capsule is an antibiotic medicine that is effective against a multitude of bacterial infections affecting ears, nose, sinus, tonsils, throat, lungs, heart, skin, and bones. It may also be effective in treating infections that are caused by resistant bacteria.
Give Richclox 125mg/125mg Capsule either with or without food but it is best to give it with food if it upsets your child’s stomach. It is generally given three times a day. Stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed by the doctor as these depend on the severity of the infection, its type, and your child’s body weight and age. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking the medicine, repeat the dose when your child feels better. However, do not double the dose if it is the time for the next dose.
Richclox 125mg/125mg Capsule can cause some minor and temporary side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and mild skin rash. These side effects almost always go away on their own. But, in case these side effects persist or become bothersome for your child, report to the doctor without a delay.
Tell your child’s doctor if your child has had any previous episodes of allergy, heart problem, blood disorder, birth defects, airway obstruction, lung anomaly, gastrointestinal problem, skin disorder, and kidney malfunction. Knowledge of your child’s medical history will help the dose make dose alterations and plan your child’s overall treatment.

How Richclox Capsule works
Richclox 125mg/125mg Capsule contains two active ingredients: Amoxycillin and Dicloxacillin.

Dicloxacillin increases the efficiency of this medicine and helps in treating the infections caused by resistant bacteria. Together, the medicines not only kill the infection-causing bacteria but also arrest the spread of the infection.
