About Amoctam 1.5G Injection

Amoctam 1.5G Injection belongs to the group of medications called antibiotics, used to treat bacterial infections.

Amoctam 1.5G Injection contains Amoxicillin and Sulbactam. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Probiotics should be taken after taking an entire course of Amoctam 1.5G Injection to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods, such as yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut, kombucha, and kimchi, can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet.
  • Avoid alcoholic beverages with Amoctam 1.5G Injection as they can make you dehydrated and may affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid Amoctam 1.5G Injection in the fight off infections.
