Ampiclox Capsule 10

Ampiclox Capsule is used to treat bacterial infections in adults, particularly mixed infections of the chest, skin and soft tissues where some of the bacteria may resist simple penicillins.

Uses of Ampiclox Capsule are:

• Chest Infections: Treats bacterial infections of the chest and airways.
• Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Treats infected wounds, boils and other bacterial skin infections.
• Mixed Bacterial Infections: Treats infections caused by a mix of bacteria, including some that produce penicillin-resistant enzymes.

Ampiclox Capsule should be taken following these guidelines:

• Thoroughly follow the dosage and timing guidelines provided by your doctor for taking this medicine.
• Do not change or exceed the prescribed dose without consulting your doctor.
• Avoid discontinuing this medication without your doctor's advice. Always consult your doctor before stopping.
• Adhere to the diet plan recommended by your doctor.

Ampiclox Capsule is taken orally.

Ampiclox Capsule contain two active ingredients:

• Ampicillin (250 mg): This component works by binding to and inactivating certain enzymes in your body called penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). These proteins are essential for creating peptidoglycan – a key part of the bacterial cell wall structure. By disrupting this process, ampicillin weakens the cell wall.
• Cloxacillin (250 mg): Cloxacillin acts as a guard for ampicillin by resisting the breakdown caused by penicillinase enzymes that some bacteria produce. This resistance extends the effectiveness of ampicillin even further.

Together, these components work synergistically to weaken the cell wall leading to lysis – or dissolution – causing susceptible bacteria to die off, thereby effectively managing the infection.

• Ensure Ampiclox Capsule is stored below 25°C.
• Keep the capsule in a dry place, shielded from light.
• Remember to store this medicine out of children's reach.
• Always check the expiry date and refrain from using past its validity.

• To help manage respiratory tract infections like bronchitis and pneumonia, ensure you or your child maintain adequate hydration. Drinking warm fluids like soups can provide relief from symptoms.
• For skin infections, maintain good hygiene practices such as washing hands regularly to prevent the spread of infection. Regular cleaning of wounds also aids in preventing skin and soft tissue infections.
