Amoxycillin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) essential for the survival of the bacteria.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Ampiox Dry Syrup?
Ampiox Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Before starting Ampiox Dry Syrup, tell your doctor about all other medications your child is taking. Consult your child's doctor before administering any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Ampiox Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines, and don't usually cause negative reactions in children recently vaccinated. However, it is important to wait for your child to recover from illness before administering a vaccine. Once your child feels better, you can administer the vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Ampiox Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy, periodic kidney and liver function tests may be recommended to monitor your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Ampiox Dry Syrup to my child?
No, exceeding the prescribed dosage of this medicine can increase the likelihood of side effects. If your child experiences worsened symptoms, consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Ampiox Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not discontinue Ampiox Dry Syrup before completing the full course of treatment, even if you feel better. The symptoms may improve prior to complete cure. Continue taking the medication until completion as it may still exhibit beneficial effects.
Can the use of Ampiox Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Ampiox Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. This is due to its antibiotic action, which kills harmful bacteria and also affects beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach leading to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if they experience diarrhea. If diarrhea persists or signs of dehydration (such as reduced urination, dark-colored urine with a strong odor) arise, consult your doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral cold infections do not lead to secondary bacterial infections. In fact, antibiotics should be used only after consulting with a doctor for proper diagnosis and management of an infection.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily indicate a bacterial infection. During a common cold, mucus will thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. These symptoms usually last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical help by contacting your child's doctor if they experience serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulty, skin rash), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea), or signs of liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). While rare, these side effects are significant and require expert attention.
