Before you start, tell your doctor about any liver, kidney or heart problem, whether you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every other medicine you take, including supplements and ayurvedic preparations. Some of them can change how Erox 500 works.

Uses

Treatment of Bacterial infections

Benefits

In Bacterial infection: Erox 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: Erox clears the bacteria behind a sore throat or tonsillitis, so the pain, fever and difficulty swallowing settle.
In Chest infection: Erox treats bacterial infections of the airways and lungs, relieving the cough, fever and breathlessness as the infection clears.
In Skin infection: Erox clears bacterial infections of the skin and soft tissue, bringing down the redness, swelling and pain.
In Urinary infection: Erox kills the bacteria causing burning, frequency and lower abdominal pain, with relief usually starting within a day or two of the first dose.

Side effects

Most side effects of Erox 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.

How to use

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Erox 500mg Capsule may be taken with or without food.

How it works

DrivingCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR: Ask your doctor whether it is safe for you to drive on this medicine.

Warnings & 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.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

If you miss a dose of Erox 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

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.
