Ampiclox 125mg/5mls Syrup

Ampiclox Suspension is a pharmaceutical formulation containing a combination of two potent antibiotics, Ampicillin and Cloxacillin. Each 5ml of the suspension provides 125mg of Ampicillin and 125mg of Cloxacillin. These antibiotics belong to the beta-lactam class and work synergistically to combat a wide range of bacterial infections.

Uses

1. Bacterial Infections Ampiclox Suspension is effective against various bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms. It is commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, urinary tract infections, and other bacterial diseases.

2. Mixed Infections  The combination of Ampicillin and Cloxacillin makes Ampiclox particularly useful in treating mixed infections caused by both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Dose

The dosage of Ampiclox Suspension may vary depending on the severity of the infection, patient age, and weight. It is crucial to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions provided by the healthcare professional. Typically, the recommended dose for children is determined by weight, while adults may be prescribed a specific quantity based on the infection type.

Side Effects

• Gastrointestinal Distress  Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
• Allergic Reactions Skin rashes, itching, or more severe reactions in rare cases.
• Superinfections Prolonged use may lead to the development of secondary infections caused by resistant strains of bacteria.

Warnings

1. Allergic Reactions Patients with a history of hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to penicillins or cephalosporins should exercise caution. Immediate medical attention is necessary if an allergic reaction occurs.

2. Superinfections Prolonged use of Ampiclox may result in the overgrowth of non-susceptible bacteria or fungi. Regular monitoring and appropriate measures should be taken if a superinfection is suspected.

3. Renal Impairment Patients with renal impairment may require dosage adjustments. Consultation with a healthcare professional is crucial in such cases.

4. Pregnancy and Lactation Ampiclox should be used with caution during pregnancy and lactation. The potential benefits should outweigh the risks, and a healthcare professional’s guidance is essential.
