Moxray 500 Capsule

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

How it works: Amoxicillin works by stopping bacteria from building the protective wall they need to survive. In capsule form, Moxray 500 Capsule releases the medicine after swallowing so it can be absorbed and carried through the body to the site of infection.

Moxray 500 Capsule is a higher-strength capsule compared with lower-strength amoxicillin products, so it is usually chosen when a doctor wants a larger amount of medicine in each dose. This can make dosing simpler for some adults and older children who can swallow capsules, but it is not meant to replace a doctor’s individualized dose plan. The exact schedule depends on the infection being treated and how severe it is.

• Ear infections
• Strep throat and other throat infections
• Sinus infections
• Chest and lung infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections

• Swallow Moxray 500 Capsule whole with water; do not chew or open it unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you to.
• Take it at the exact times prescribed, and try to space doses evenly through the day.
• It may be taken with or without food; taking it with food can help if it upsets your stomach.
• Finish the full course even if you start feeling better, unless your doctor tells you to stop.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next one; do not double up.
• Use only for the bacterial infection your clinician diagnosed, not for viral illness symptoms.

Each Moxray 500 Capsule provides 500 mg of amoxicillin per capsule. The number of capsules per dose and how many times per day you take them depends on the type and severity of infection, and your doctor determines the exact regimen. The maximum daily amount varies by infection and patient factors, so follow the prescribed directions rather than guessing based on the strength alone.

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

Common side effects of Amoxicillin may include:

• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Stomach pain
• Vomiting

• Yeast infection

• Do not take Moxray 500 Capsule if you have a known allergy to amoxicillin or other penicillin antibiotics.
• Tell your doctor if you have ever had a severe allergic reaction to any antibiotic.
• Use caution if you have kidney disease, because dosing may need adjustment.
• This medicine can make some people dizzy or unwell; be careful driving or operating machinery if you feel affected.
• Alcohol does not directly interact with amoxicillin, but it may worsen stomach upset or dehydration during illness.
• Tell your clinician if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have mononucleosis, because amoxicillin may not be appropriate in some situations.
• Take the full prescribed course to reduce the chance of the infection returning or bacteria becoming resistant.

• Warfarin and other blood thinners
• Allopurinol
• Probenecid
• Methotrexate
• Other antibiotics that your doctor may want to avoid combining without a clear reason
