About Womoxy 250Mg Capsule

Womoxy 250Mg Capsule is used to treat bacterial infections in the body that affect the skin, soft tissues, lungs, ears, urinary tract, and nasal sinuses. It should be mentioned that viral infections like the flu and the common cold are not treated by this medication.

Womoxy 250Mg Capsule consists of Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid. This medicine works by destroying the outer protein layer, thereby killing the bacteria (bactericidal action). As a result, it helps treat infection and reduce the further spread of infection. Womoxy 250Mg Capsule does not work against infections caused by viruses, including colds and flu.

Not everyone who is taking Womoxy 250Mg Capsule will get these side effects. The common side effects of Womoxy 250Mg Capsule include vomiting, nausea, and diarrhoea. Everyone may not experience the above side effects. In case of any discomfort, speak with a doctor.

You can take Womoxy 250Mg Capsule with food to avoid any stomach upset. It should be swallowed as a whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, bite, crush, or break it. Your doctor will advise you on how often you should take your medicine based on your medical condition. It is always important to complete your treatment course for better results.

Before starting Womoxy 250Mg Capsule, please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic) or any other components. Do not take Womoxy 250Mg Capsule on your own as it may lead to antibiotic resistance, in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Womoxy 250Mg Capsule is safe for children if prescribed by a doctor; the dose and duration may vary depending on the child’s weight and the severity of the infection. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breadfeeding before taking Womoxy 250Mg Capsule.

  • Sinusitis: Womoxy 250Mg Capsule treats bacterial sinus infections by lowering inflammation and cleaning them.
  • Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Womoxy 250Mg Capsule treats urinary tract infections caused by susceptible bacteria and provides broad-spectrum protection.

Medicinal Benefits

  • Womoxy 250Mg Capsule is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that covers a very wide range of bacterial infections.
  • Womoxy 250Mg Capsule has Clavulanic acid, which protects amoxycillin from getting destroyed by the bacterial enzyme, thus increasing its efficacy.

How Womoxy 250Mg Capsule Works

Womoxy 250Mg Capsule consists of two medicines: Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin acts by destroying the outer protein layer, thereby killing the bacteria (bactericidal action). Clavulanic acid inhibits the enzyme beta-lactamase, which prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of amoxycillin. As a result, the action of Clavulanic acid allows Amoxycillin to work better and kill the bacteria. Womoxy 250Mg Capsule does not work against infections caused by viruses, including colds and flu.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, 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.
  • Probiotics should be taken after taking a full course of Womoxy 250Mg Capsule in order 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.
