Megapen Capsule

Product Overview

Megapen Capsule is a combination antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It works by targeting harmful microorganisms, preventing their growth, and stopping the spread of infection in the body.

This is a prescription medication and should be taken exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. It can be consumed with or without food, but taking it at the same time every day helps maintain its effectiveness. Avoid taking more than the prescribed dose, as doing so may result in adverse effects. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible, but do not double the dose to compensate. It is important to complete the full course of treatment, even if you start feeling better, to ensure all bacteria are eliminated and resistance is prevented.

Some common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and indigestion. If you experience more severe symptoms or allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention promptly.

Inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking, as well as any pre-existing health conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using this medication. Avoid consuming alcohol while on this treatment, as it may intensify drowsiness. Although it generally does not impair your ability to drive, you should refrain from driving if you feel sleepy or dizzy. Rest, maintain a nutritious diet, and drink plenty of fluids to support your recovery. Your doctor may recommend laboratory tests to monitor the effects of the medicine.
