Ampiclox Capsule
Medical Description
Ampiclox capsule is a type of antibiotic medication that is used to treat bacterial infections in various parts of the body, such as the nose, ear, throat, airways, lungs, and bone. It contains a combination of two active substances, ampicillin and cloxacillin, which work together to stop the growth of infection-causing bacteria. It is important to take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor, in the exact dose and duration specified. Make sure to complete the entire course of antibiotics, even if you start feeling better before the end of the treatment, as incomplete treatment may not fully remove the bacteria causing the infection. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, it is important to inform your doctor before starting this medicine.
