Campicilin Plus 500 mg+500 mg Capsule

Campicilin Plus 500 mg+500 mg Capsule is an antibiotic capsule that contains ampicillin 500 mg per capsule. It belongs to the penicillin class of antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. This exact Campicilin Plus 500 mg+500 mg Capsule strength is chosen when a doctor wants a full 500 mg capsule dose in a convenient oral form. It is commonly prescribed for infections that are likely to respond to ampicillin.

How it works: Ampicillin in Campicilin Plus 500 mg+500 mg Capsule works by stopping bacteria from building a strong cell wall, which makes the bacteria break apart and die. The capsule form delivers the medicine by mouth, where it is absorbed and then carried through the body to help clear the infection.

Campicilin Plus 500 mg+500 mg Capsule is a higher-strength ampicillin capsule, so it is generally suited for patients who need a 500 mg dose rather than a lower-strength option. Because there are no other strengths or forms of this brand listed here, this capsule should be understood as the specific dosage form your doctor selected for your infection severity, age, weight, and kidney function.

Each Campicilin Plus 500 mg+500 mg Capsule provides 500 mg of ampicillin.

The doctor decides the dose and the total daily maximum, so do not change the number of capsules per day on your own.
