Mox 500 capsule is an antibiotic medicine used to treat various bacterial infections, such as those of the respiratory tract, lungs, tonsils, throat, skin, and urinary tract. It contains amoxicillin as an active substance. Mox 500 capsule works by binding to certain proteins in the bacteria and preventing bacterial cell wall formation. This results in the death of infection-causing bacteria.
