FAQs

Amclox-500 Capsule contains two penicillin antibiotics, namely: Ampicillin and Dicloxacillin. It works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering, which is necessary for their survival. Thus, it kills the bacteria and helps in treating and preventing the spread of infections. Amclox-500 Capsule does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

Diarrhea might be a side-effect of Amclox-500 Capsule . Drink lots of fluids and eat food rich in fiber if you experience diarrhea. If you find blood in your stools (tarry stools) or if you experience prolonged diarrhea with abdominal pain, stop taking Amclox-500 Capsule and consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrhea medicine on your own.

It is recommended to complete the course of Amclox-500 Capsule even if you feel better, as it is an antibiotic. Leaving it in between may lead to even severe infection that will, in fact, stop responding to the antibiotic (antibiotic resistance).
