Management Of Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary, generally mild, and resolve upon suspending the use of Mokcan 500 Capsule 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Mokcan 500 Capsule 10 contains amoxicillin (500 mg), which works on the body as follows:

Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis: Amoxicillin blocks essential proteins in bacteria necessary for forming their cell walls.
Causes bacterial death: Because of its action on these proteins, amoxicillin prevents bacteria from creating complete cell walls, leading them to die.
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 Mokcan 500 Capsule 10 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Very tiny amount of amoxicillin passes into breast milk which is not expected to cause side effects to the byaby. While generally safe, it's wise to watch for signs of diarrhoea or rash in the nursing baby when taking Mokcan 500 Capsule 10. Consult your doctor if such symptoms occur.

Alcohol

Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Mokcan 500 Capsule 10, as alcohol can exacerbate the side effects of this medicine, like nausea and vomiting.
