Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • After taking the full course of AMLOX CAPSULE, probiotics should be taken to restore some of the healthy bacteria in the intestine that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut and kimchi can restore the intestine's good bacteria stink.
  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus fibre foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after taking a course of antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread, and brown rice, should be included in your diet.
  • Avoid taking too many calcium-enriched foods and drinks as it might affect the working of AMLOX CAPSULE.
  • Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with AMLOX CAPSULE as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the AMLOX CAPSULE in fighting off infections.

AMLOX CAPSULE kills the bacterial cell by blocking the chemical (mucopeptides) released by the bacteria's outer layer (cell wall). In turn, AMLOX CAPSULE weakens and destroys the bacterial cell wall. It is a broad range of antibiotics that helps in fighting various types of bacteria.

Amoxycillin belongs to the class of penicillin antibiotics. AMLOX CAPSULE is a broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against a wide range of bacteria. On the other hand, penicillin is a narrow-spectrum antibiotic effective against fewer bacteria.

Do not use anti diarrhoeal until the doctor has prescribed you. You can drink plenty of fluids (electrolytes) to avoid dehydration. Besides this, you can also take prebiotics or probiotics to manage diarrhoea as it may help increase the number of good bacteria in the intestine, which aids indigestion.

Try to stay well hydrated by drinking at least six glasses of water or other fluid per day. Always keep your bladder empty as much as possible by peeing regularly.

After taking an antibiotic, you may need to wait for up to three hours to eat or drink any dairy products, including milk and butter, yoghurt, and cheese. Grapefruit juice and dietary supplements containing minerals like calcium may also work to dampen the effect of antibiotics.

Do not stop using AMLOX CAPSULE even if you feel better. It should be strictly used as advised by your doctor to avoid the recurrence of symptoms and to worsen the disease.

AMLOX CAPSULE may cause side effects such as nausea and diarrhoea. If these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

AMLOX CAPSULE can be used during pregnancy if prescribed by a doctor. Do not self-medicate, especially during pregnancy since there is limited safety information available on the use of AMLOX CAPSULE during pregnancy. Consult a doctor before taking AMLOX CAPSULE.

You should not take AMLOX CAPSULE if you have or ever had cirrhosis, severe kidney or liver disease, adrenal gland failure, an electrolyte imbalance, or an allergy to AMLOX CAPSULE or sulfa drugs. Also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or are breastfeeding to avoid any harmful effect on your baby.

AMLOX CAPSULE is effective if used in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking AMLOX CAPSULE even if you see improvement in your condition as discontinuing AMLOX CAPSULE too early may cause symptoms to worsen or reoccur.
