Labmox 500 Capsule

Labmox 500 Capsule is an antibiotic capsule that contains amoxicillin 500 mg in each capsule. It belongs to the penicillin class of antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Labmox 500 Capsule may be prescribed for infections of the ear, throat, sinuses, lungs, skin, urinary tract, or teeth when the bacteria are likely to respond to amoxicillin.

How it works: Amoxicillin works by stopping bacteria from building a proper cell wall, which weakens and kills the bacteria. As a capsule, Labmox 500 Capsule is swallowed whole and releases the medicine so it can be absorbed into the body to fight the infection.

Labmox 500 Capsule is a higher-strength capsule compared with lower-dose amoxicillin products, so it is typically chosen when a doctor wants a fuller adult-sized dose in a simple oral capsule. Because it is a 500 mg capsule, it may be used for infections that need a stronger per-dose amount or for people who can swallow capsules and have been specifically assessed for this strength.

• Ear infections
• Throat and tonsil infections
• Sinus infections
• Chest and lung infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections

• Swallow Labmox 500 Capsule whole with a full glass of water; do not crush or chew it.
• You may take it with or without food, but taking it with food can help reduce stomach upset.
• Take it at evenly spaced times as prescribed to keep the medicine level steady.
• Finish the full course even if you start feeling better, unless your prescriber tells you to stop.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Do not share Labmox 500 Capsule with anyone else, even if they have similar symptoms.

Each Labmox 500 Capsule provides amoxicillin 500 mg per capsule. Depending on the infection, it may be taken 2 or 3 times daily, and the exact schedule and maximum daily amount are set by the prescriber based on the infection, age, kidney function, and response to treatment. Do not change the dose or take more capsules than prescribed.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Amoxicillin may include:

• Diarrhea
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Stomach pain
• Mild rash
• Headache
• Loose stools

• Do not use Labmox 500 Capsule if you have a known allergy to amoxicillin, penicillins, or a history of serious beta-lactam allergy unless a clinician has reviewed it.
• Tell your prescriber if you have kidney disease, because the 500 mg capsule may need dose adjustment or less frequent dosing.
• Use caution if you have had severe diarrhea with antibiotics before, since amoxicillin can sometimes trigger C. difficile-associated diarrhea.
• This capsule is for bacterial infections only and will not treat viral infections.
• Alcohol does not usually cause a direct interaction, but heavy drinking can worsen stomach upset and slow recovery.
• Tell your clinician about all medicines you take, especially blood thinners, methotrexate, or other antibiotics.
• If you develop a rash, fever, swelling, or breathing trouble after starting Labmox 500 Capsule, seek urgent medical care.

Store Labmox 500 Capsule in its original strip or box at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and direct light, and keep it out of reach of children.
