Description

Ampilox capsule is an antibiotic medicine containing a combination of ampicillin and dicloxacillin as its active ingredients. It is used to treat bacterial infections of the lungs, throat, airways, skin, soft tissues, bones, ears, noses, and wounds after surgery caused by various organisms.
