About Campicillin Capsule

Campicillin Capsule contains Ampicillin, which works by inhibiting the process of bacterial cell wall synthesis that is required for its survival. Thus, Campicillin Capsule kills bacteria and helps treat bacterial infection. 

Campicillin Capsule should be taken 30 minutes before food or 2 hours after food, on an empty stomach. Campicillin Capsule may cause certain common side effects such as vomiting, nausea, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects are mild and subside over time. However, if these persist, contact your doctor immediately.

Campicillin Capsule should be avoided if you are allergic to any of its components. Inform your doctor if you have any kidney or liver problems.
