Stops bacterial growth: By causing bacterial death, amoxicillin stops further growth and multiplication of bacteria, aiding the body's immune system in eliminating the infection.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Amoxilan 500 MG Capsule 10 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding
