Whats That
About Moxcon Capsule
Moxcon Capsule belongs to a group of anti-bacterial or antibiotics known as penicillin. Moxcon Capsule is used to prevent and treat different types of bacterial infections like chest infections (pneumonia, bronchitis), ear/nose/throat (ENT) infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, leg ulcers, gum ulcers, dental infections, and pressure sores. Besides this, it is also used with various antibiotics like clarithromycin to treat stomach ulcers caused by H. Pyroli bacteria.
Moxcon Capsule contains Amoxycillin, which kills the bacterial cell by blocking the chemical (mucopeptides) released by the bacteria's outer layer (cell wall). In turn, Moxcon Capsule weakens and destroys the bacterial cell wall. It is a broad range of antibiotics that helps in fighting various types of bacteria.
During the treatment with Moxcon Capsule, you may observe some common side effects like feeling sick (nausea) and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and are resolved over time. However, if these side effects persist, let your doctor know.

Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and all the medicines you take before taking Moxcon Capsule to rule out any side effects.

Amoxycillin belongs to the class of penicillin antibiotics. Moxcon 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 Moxcon 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.
Moxcon Capsule may cause side effects such as nausea and diarrhoea. If these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Moxcon 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 Moxcon Capsule during pregnancy. Consult a doctor before taking Moxcon Capsule.
You should not take Moxcon Capsule if you have or ever had cirrhosis, severe kidney or liver disease, adrenal gland failure, an electrolyte imbalance, or an allergy to Moxcon Capsule or sulfa drugs.
