Alkem Amoxicillin 250mg

Product Overview

Alkem Amoxicillin 250mg Capsule is prescribed for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections. It is effective in conditions affecting the throat, ear, nasal passages, lungs (including pneumonia), urinary tract, skin, soft tissues, and in cases of typhoid fever.

This antibiotic can also be used alongside other medicines to help eradicate Helicobacter pylori bacteria in individuals with peptic ulcer disease. It belongs to the broad-spectrum class of antibiotics, meaning it works against multiple types of harmful bacteria by stopping their growth. For best results and to reduce stomach discomfort, it is usually taken with food. Taking it at evenly spaced intervals, as advised by your doctor, helps maintain consistent levels of the medicine in your body.

Completing the full prescribed course is important, even if symptoms improve early. Stopping treatment too soon may allow the infection to return or become harder to treat. The dose and treatment duration depend on the type of infection and how you respond to the medicine, as determined by your doctor.

Before starting, let your healthcare provider know if you have any allergies to penicillin or similar antibiotics. Possible side effects may include rash, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. These effects are generally mild and temporary, but seek medical advice if they persist or worsen. Under proper medical guidance, this medicine is generally considered safe during pregnancy.
