Uses of Ampilox Capsule

Treatment of Bacterial infections

Benefits of Ampilox Capsule

In Bacterial infection
Ampilox kills the bacteria causing the infection by breaking down their cell walls. You usually start to feel better within a few days, and finishing the course makes sure the infection does not return.
In Throat infection
Ampilox clears the bacteria behind a sore throat or tonsillitis, so the pain, fever and difficulty swallowing settle.
In Chest infection
Ampilox treats bacterial infections of the airways and lungs, relieving the cough, fever and breathlessness as the infection clears.
In Skin infection
Ampilox clears bacterial infections of the skin and soft tissue, bringing down the redness, swelling and pain.
In Urinary infection
Ampilox kills the bacteria causing burning, frequency and lower abdominal pain, with relief usually starting within a day or two of the first dose.

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.

How to take 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.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

If you miss a dose of Ampilox Capsule, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause vomiting, severe loose motions and, rarely, fits. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Ampilox Capsule

Most side effects of Ampilox are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Loose motions
  • Nausea
  • Rash
  • Vomiting
  • Thrush

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Safety advice for Ampilox Capsule

AlcoholCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR
Ask your doctor before drinking alcohol while on this medicine.
PregnancyCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR
Consult your doctor before using this in pregnancy.
Breast feedingCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR
Consult your doctor before using this while breastfeeding.
DrivingUNSAFE
Do not drive or operate machinery while taking this medicine.
KidneyCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR
Consult your doctor if you have kidney disease.
LiverCAUTION
Use with caution if you have liver disease. Your doctor may adjust the dose or monitor your liver function.

Warnings and precautions

Finish the whole course even after you feel better. Stopping early lets the strongest bacteria survive, and they are the ones that come back resistant. Stop and seek emergency care for swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, or a widespread rash — a penicillin allergy can be serious. Tell every doctor and pharmacist if you have ever reacted to penicillin. Tell your doctor if loose motions become severe or watery, or continue after the course — this needs attention rather than an anti-diarrhoeal. Antibiotics do not work against colds, flu or most sore throats, which are caused by viruses.

Do not take Ampilox if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for anyone with a known penicillin allergy.

Interactions with other medicines

May reduce the reliability of the oral contraceptive pill if you have vomiting or loose motions — use additional precautions during the course. Tell your doctor if you take methotrexate or a blood thinner.

How to store Ampilox Capsule

Store below 30°C in the original pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
