Product Description
Astoxy 500mg Capsule is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It is effective in treating infections of the throat, ear, nasal sinuses, respiratory tract (such as pneumonia), urinary tract, skin and soft tissue, as well as typhoid fever. Additionally, Astoxy 500mg is used to eliminate Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in individuals with peptic ulcer disease.
This medicine works by stopping the growth of bacteria, thus helping to resolve infections. To minimize the risk of stomach upset, it is recommended to take Astoxy 500mg with food. To ensure optimal results, take the medicine regularly and at evenly spaced intervals as prescribed by your doctor. This will help maintain consistent levels of the medicine in your body.
It is important to complete the full course of treatment even if you feel better, as stopping the medication early may allow the infection to return or worsen. Your doctor will determine the appropriate duration and dosage based on the specific infection and your response to the treatment.
Salt Composition / Key Ingredients
- Amoxycillin (500mg)
How to Use
Take Astoxy 500mg Capsule exactly as prescribed by your doctor. You can take it with or without food, but it is generally better to take it at the same time each day to help you remember. Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water—do not crush or chew it. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose. Never take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.
Side Effects
Most side effects associated with Astoxy 500mg are mild and temporary, and they typically resolve on their own as your body adjusts to the medicine. Common side effects include:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Skin rash
If any side effects persist or become bothersome, or if you experience severe allergic reactions (such as swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing), seek immediate medical attention.
Restrictions
Before taking Astoxy 500mg Capsule, inform your doctor if you:
- Are allergic to amoxicillin or any other penicillin-type antibiotics.
- Are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Although generally safe, it’s important to consult your doctor to ensure the medication is appropriate for your situation.
- Have any pre-existing medical conditions, particularly kidney or liver issues.
How It Works
Astoxy 500mg Capsule contains Amoxycillin, an antibiotic that works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall. The cell wall is crucial for the survival and protection of bacteria. By preventing the bacteria from forming this protective barrier, Amoxycillin causes the bacteria to break apart and die, thus eliminating the infection.
