About Amoctam 1.5G Injection

Amoctam 1.5G Injection belongs to the group of medications called antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections. Bacterial infections are caused by the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Symptoms of bacterial infection vary depending on the organ affected by bacteria.

Amoctam 1.5G Injection contains Amoxycillin and Sulbactam. Amoxycillin is a type of antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering, which is required for bacterial survival. Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that reduces resistance and improves Amoxycillin's antibacterial activity.

You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The common side-effects of Amoctam 1.5G Injection are diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting. These side-effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side effects persist or get worse, inform your doctor immediately.

Amoctam 1.5G Injection should be used with caution in children, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and elderly people. It is not known whether Amoctam 1.5G Injection interacts with alcohol or if it may affect your ability to drive.
