Mox Drops Redimix

Mox Drops Redimix is an amoxicillin antibiotic in drop form made by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. Each pack in the 10-pack strip/box contains the labeled amount of amoxicillin for this drop formulation, which is used to treat certain bacterial infections. Mox Drops Redimix does not work for colds, flu, or other viral illnesses. It is prescribed for infections such as ear, throat, sinus, chest, skin, and some urinary tract infections when a doctor decides amoxicillin is appropriate.

How it works: Amoxicillin works by stopping bacteria from building the cell wall they need to survive and multiply. In Mox Drops Redimix, the liquid drop form helps deliver the medicine in measured doses that are easier to give to children or other patients who cannot take solid medicines.

Mox Drops Redimix is the drop formulation of this brand, which can be helpful for people who need a liquid medicine that can be measured in small amounts more easily than Mox Redimix Oral Suspension. Compared with the oral suspension, the drops are often chosen for younger patients or anyone who has trouble swallowing, and the doctor may select this form when a smaller, more precise dose is needed. Because this is the labeled drops product, it should be used exactly as prescribed rather than substituted with another strength or form without medical advice.

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

• Shake the bottle well before each dose so the medicine is evenly mixed.
• Measure the drops exactly as prescribed; do not estimate by eye.
• Give Mox Drops Redimix at evenly spaced times each day if your doctor has told you to take it more than once daily.
• You may take it with or without food, but taking it with food can help if it upsets the stomach.
• Finish the full course even if symptoms improve early.
• Use the dosing device provided, and ask your pharmacist if you are unsure how to measure the drops.

Mox Drops Redimix provides the labeled amoxicillin amount in each pack of the drop formulation, but the exact dose depends on the infection, age, weight, and kidney function. Your doctor decides how often it should be taken and the maximum daily amount; do not change the schedule on your own. This drop strength is meant for individualized dosing and is not automatically the right choice for every bacterial infection.

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

Common side effects of Amoxicillin may include:

• Diarrhea
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Mild stomach pain
• Rash
• Yeast overgrowth or diaper rash, especially in children

• Do not use Mox Drops Redimix if you have ever had a serious allergy to amoxicillin or other penicillin antibiotics unless a doctor tells you otherwise.
• Tell your doctor about any history of cephalosporin allergy, asthma, or previous antibiotic-related rash.
• Use extra caution if you have kidney disease, because dose adjustments may be needed.
• Take care when using the drops in patients with diabetes or carbohydrate-sensitive conditions, since liquid medicines may contain sweeteners or other ingredients depending on the product.
• Contact a doctor if diarrhea becomes severe or does not go away, because antibiotics can sometimes trigger more serious bowel infection.
• If you are taking the drops for a long course, report unusual bruising, unusual tiredness, or signs of a new infection.
• Avoid using leftover antibiotic drops for a new illness unless a clinician has specifically prescribed them.

• Allopurinol may increase the chance of rash with amoxicillin.
• Probenecid can raise amoxicillin levels in the body.
• Blood thinners such as warfarin may require closer monitoring because amoxicillin can affect bleeding risk.
• Methotrexate levels may increase when taken with amoxicillin.
• The oral typhoid vaccine may not work as well during antibiotic treatment.

Store Mox Drops Redimix as directed on the package insert, usually at room temperature away from heat, moisture, and direct light, and keep it tightly closed and out of reach of children.
