Typically, Cloxmax Capsule begins to take effect shortly after administration. However, it may require a few days for the full antibacterial action to be effective and for symptoms to improve significantly.
Should I stop taking Cloxmax Capsule if my symptoms resolve?
No, it's essential to complete the entire treatment course as prescribed by your doctor, even if you start feeling better before the infection is fully cleared. Stopping the medication prematurely can lead to incomplete eradication of the bacteria and potentially cause a recurrence of the infection.
