Uses of Ampoxin 500 mg Capsule
Bacterial infections
Benefits of Ampoxin 500 mg Capsule
- In Bacterial infection
- Ampoxin 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
- Ampoxin clears the bacteria behind a sore throat or tonsillitis, so the pain, fever and difficulty swallowing settle.
- In Chest infection
- Ampoxin treats bacterial infections of the airways and lungs, relieving the cough, fever and breathlessness as the infection clears.
- In Skin infection
- Ampoxin clears bacterial infections of the skin and soft tissue, bringing down the redness, swelling and pain.
- In Urinary infection
- Ampoxin kills the bacteria causing burning, frequency and lower abdominal pain, with relief usually starting within a day or two of the first dose.
How Ampoxin 500 mg Capsule works
Ampoxin 500mg Capsule is an antibiotic. It kills bacteria by preventing them from forming the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) which is needed for them to survive.
How to take Ampoxin 500 mg Capsule
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Ampoxin 500mg 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 Ampoxin 500mg 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

- Loose motions
- Nausea

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 Ampoxin 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 Ampoxin 500 mg Capsule
Store below 30°C in the original pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
