How it works
Empiclox Kid 125mg/125mg Tablet contains Ampicillin and Cloxacillin. Ampicillin prevents the formation of the bacterial cell wall, essential for bacterial survival, while Cloxacillin enhances the treatment's efficiency, especially against resistant bacteria. Together, they kill the bacteria and prevent the spread of infection.
Quick Tips
Complete the entire course of antibiotics without stopping the medicine in between. Sudden withdrawal may cause the bacteria to multiply again, become resistant, or cause another infection. Make sure your child drinks plenty of water if they develop diarrhea as a side effect. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Give Empiclox Kid 125mg/125mg Tablet to your child only for their current infection. Avoid storing the medicine for future use as it is impossible to judge whether the same medicine would work for any future illnesses. Stop this medicine and immediately report to your child’s doctor in case your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties while taking this medicine.
