It is designed to treat bacterial infections while simultaneously restoring the balance of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.
Amplus LB Capsule is a prescription medicine. It is advised to take it as per the prescription. It can be taken with or without food, but it must be taken at a fixed time to ensure better efficacy. Do not consume more than the recommended dose, as this may have harmful effects on your body. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. The course of the treatment must be completed even if you feel better. Sudden discontinuation of the treatment may affect the potency of the medicine.
Some common side effects of this medicine are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion, etc. If any of the side effects get aggravated, you must consult your doctor immediately. If you experience any allergic reaction (rashes, itching, swelling, shortness of breath, etc.), you must seek immediate medical help.
Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are taking any medicines for any health condition. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult with their doctor before taking it. Avoid drinking alcohol as it can cause excessive drowsiness with this medicine. It usually does not impair your ability to drive, but you should not drive if it makes you feel sleepy or dizzy. You must take adequate rest for a faster recovery, also take a healthy diet and drink plenty of water. Your doctor may ask for a few laboratory and diagnostic tests to know the effects of the medicine on your body.
Benefits:
- Dual Antibiotic Action: Amoxicillin and Dicloxacillin work synergistically to combat bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms. This combination provides a broad spectrum of antibacterial coverage.
- Gastrointestinal Health: Lactobacillus, a probiotic bacterium, helps restore the natural balance of gut flora disrupted by antibiotic therapy. It promotes digestive health and may reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
- Convenient Administration: The formulation as a capsule allows for easy and precise dosing, ensuring patient compliance.
Side Effects:
While generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, including:
- Gastrointestinal Disturbances: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain may occur, particularly with Amoxicillin.
- Allergic Reactions: Some people may develop allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, or, rarely, severe allergic reactions like anaphylaxis.
- Disruption of Gut Flora: Antibiotic therapy can disrupt the natural balance of gut bacteria, leading to overgrowth of harmful bacteria or yeast infections.
Usage Guidelines:
- Dosage: The dosage is determined based on the severity of the infection, the patient’s age, weight, and renal function. Follow the prescribed dosage regimen.
- Administration: Swallow the capsule whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush or chew the capsule unless instructed otherwise by a healthcare professional.
- Timing: Take the medication at evenly spaced intervals to maintain a constant level of the drug in the body.
- Duration: Complete the full course of treatment as prescribed, even if symptoms improve before finishing the medication, unless instructed otherwise by a healthcare professional.
Drug Interactions:
- Probenecid: Concurrent use may increase the levels of Amoxicillin in the blood by reducing its excretion.
- Oral Contraceptives: Antibiotics like Amoxicillin and Dicloxacillin may reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives, necessitating additional contraceptive methods during treatment.
- Warfarin: Concurrent use may increase the anticoagulant effect of Warfarin, requiring close monitoring of coagulation parameters.
It’s essential to inform the prescribing healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, or herbal products being taken to avoid potential drug interactions.
Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice regarding the use of Amplus LB Capsule, especially in special populations like pregnant or breastfeeding women, children, or individuals with pre-existing medical conditions.
