About AMPILOXC 250MG PAEDIATRIC INJECTION

AMPILOXC 250MG PAEDIATRIC INJECTION is a prescription antibiotic injection used to treat serious bacterial infections in different parts of the body, including the lungs, skin, bones, joints, and blood. It contains ampicillin and cloxacillin, which work together to kill susceptible bacteria causing the infection. Your doctor may prescribe this medicine when injectable antibiotic treatment is needed or when treatment by mouth is not suitable.

This medicine is given by injection into a vein or muscle by a doctor, nurse, or another trained healthcare professional. It is important to receive each dose as scheduled and complete the full course of treatment, even if you start feeling better, unless your doctor tells you to stop. This helps clear the infection completely and reduces the risk of the infection returning.

Most people tolerate this medicine well. Like all medicines, it can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhoea, and pain or discomfort where the injection is given. Consult your doctor right away if you develop severe diarrhoea or signs of a serious allergic reaction, such as a widespread rash, swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat, or difficulty breathing.

Before receiving this medicine, tell your doctor if you have ever had an allergic reaction to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics, or if you have kidney or liver problems. Also tell your doctor if you have or may have glandular fever (infectious mononucleosis), as this medicine may cause a widespread skin rash in people with this condition.

Consult your doctor before receiving this medicine if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. If this medicine is prescribed for your child, the doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your child's age, body weight, and the type and severity of the infection. Tell your doctor about all medicines you or your child are taking, including prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products, as some medicines may interact with this treatment.

How AMPILOXC 250MG PAEDIATRIC INJECTION Works

AMPILOXC 250MG PAEDIATRIC INJECTION contains ampicillin and cloxacillin, which belong to a group of medicines called penicillin antibiotics (medicines used to treat bacterial infections). Ampicillin works by preventing bacteria from forming their cell wall (the protective outer layer that gives bacteria their shape and strength). Without a strong cell wall, the bacteria break apart and die. Cloxacillin also prevents bacteria from building their cell wall. In addition, it is resistant to beta-lactamases (enzymes produced by some bacteria that can break down certain antibiotics). This allows cloxacillin to remain effective against susceptible bacteria that produce these enzymes. Together, these antibiotics kill susceptible bacteria and help clear the infection. This medicine works only against susceptible bacterial infections. It does not treat viral infections such as the common cold or flu.
