Cipmox 500 Mg

What is Cipmox 500

Cipmox 500 Capsule is a prescription antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections in different parts of the body. It contains 500 mg of Amoxicillin Trihydrate (Amoxycillin), a penicillin-class antibiotic. It is manufactured by Cipla Ltd in facilities certified by the US FDA and the WHO.

Amoxycillin works by stopping bacteria from building their protective cell wall. Once the wall weakens, the bacteria cannot survive, and the infection begins to clear. That is why it is commonly used to treat infections of the throat, ears, sinuses, respiratory tract, urinary tract, and skin or soft tissues.

Cipmox 500 Capsule is to be swallowed whole with water every 8 or 12 hours, depending on the prescription. It can be taken with or without food, but taking it around the same time every day helps keep your treatment steady. You should start feeling better within 2-3 days, but you should still complete the full course so the infection clears properly.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, Diarrhea, and rash. These are usually mild and subside gradually. However, contact your doctor right away if you develop wheezing, swelling of the face or throat, severe watery or bloody Diarrhea, skin blistering, or trouble breathing.

Avoid Cipmox 500 Capsules if you have a penicillin allergy, severe kidney or liver disease, Asthma, Hay Fever, Hives or any type of viral infection. Caution is advised for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women and children. It can reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives, so another birth control method is recommended during treatment.

Store the capsules below 25°C in a cool, dry place, away from excess heat and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children.
