Composition

Ampicillin (250 Mg) + Cloxacillin (250 Mg)

Cloxapene 250/250 MG Capsule 10 is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections affecting the lungs, skin, urinary tract, and gastrointestinal system. It contains active ingredients that interfere with bacterial cell wall formation, effectively stopping the spread of infection.

This medication helps resolve symptoms associated with blood and respiratory tract infections, promoting faster recovery. Always complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor to prevent antibiotic resistance.

Cloxapene 250/250 MG Capsule 10 is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used for infections affecting the ear, nose, throat, lungs, bones, gastrointestinal tract, and surgical wounds. It is also prescribed for serious infections such as meningitis, gonorrhoea, and select gastrointestinal infections. Completing the full course ensures effective eradication of the infection.

Swallow the whole capsule with water.
Do not crush, open, or chew the capsule.
It is generally recommended to take the capsule on an empty stomach or as directed by the doctor.
Remember to take the medicine at evenly spaced intervals, as directed by your doctor.
Always consult your doctor for precise instructions tailored to your health condition.

Cloxapene 250/250 MG Capsule 10 is taken orally.

Cloxapene 250/250 MG Capsule 10 may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, skin rash, itching, stomach discomfort, and mild indigestion. These effects are generally mild and temporary, but consult your doctor if they persist or become severe.

Management Of Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary, usually mild, and resolve upon ceasing the use of Cloxapene 250/250 MG Capsule 10. However, if you experience any severe side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some useful guidelines for handling common side effects:

Nausea and vomiting: Try taking Cloxapene 250/250 MG Capsule 10 with food to lessen these symptoms.
Skin rash and itching: Applying a cool, damp cloth to the affected area can help relieve these symptoms. Avoid scratching the affected area, as it could worsen the rash.

Cloxapene 250/250 MG Capsule 10 comprises of two active ingredients:

Ampicillin (250 mg): This component belongs to a group of antibiotics known as beta-lactam antibiotics. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. Ampicillin is active against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
Cloxacillin (250 mg): Like ampicillin, cloxacillin is also a beta-lactam antibiotic. Its primary function is to fight against penicillinase-producing staphylococci (a type of bacteria). By doing so, it prevents these bacteria from building their cell walls, thereby stopping them from multiplying.

The combination of these two components provides broad-spectrum coverage against various bacterial infections.

Pregnancy

Cloxapene 250/250 MG Capsule 10 should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. It's a good idea to consult your doctor before taking this medicine if you are pregnant.

Breastfeeding

Ampicillin and cloxacillin, the active ingredients in Cloxapene 250/250 MG Capsule 10, are passed into human milk. Caution is advised when taking this medicine if you are breastfeeding.

Kidney

Caution is advised when using Cloxapene 250/250 MG Capsule 10 if you have kidney problems.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Cloxapene 250/250 MG Capsule 10 interacts with the following medicines:

Antigout medication: Medicines like probenecid and allopurinol can lead to prolonged elevated levels of ampicillin in your blood. This may lead to a potential increase in side effects like skin rash.

Infectious mononucleosis: Ampicillin use in patients with infectious mononucleosis has been associated with the development of a rash.
