About Amotid Fort Syrup

Amotid Fort Syrup is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections such as pneumonia, bronchitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis and sinusitis, acne, ear infections, and sexually transmitted infections. A bacterial infection is a condition in which bacteria grow in the body and cause infection.

Amotid Fort Syrup contains Amoxycillin, which kills the bacterial cell by blocking the chemical (mucopeptides) released by the bacteria's outer layer (cell wall).

Not everyone who is taking Amotid Fort Syrup will get these side effects. Some common side effects of Amotid Fort Syrup are diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, and indigestion. These side effects are temporary and may resolve on their own over time. However, if these side effects persist, don't hesitate to contact your doctor.

Amotid Fort Syrup should only be taken if advised by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food but should be consumed at a fixed time for the best results. The Amotid Fort Syrup should not be consumed in a dose exceeding the recommended amount to avoid unpleasant side effects. Also, the course should be completed even if you feel better.

Inform your physician if you are allergic to Amotid Fort Syrup, or have any history of liver problems or muscle problems. Do not use Amotid Fort Syrup without a doctor's advice if you have a skin reaction or irritation to any medicine. Do not discontinue or abruptly stop the medication, as it may lead to antibiotic resistance, a condition in which bacteria become resistant to antibiotics.
