Zylomox 250 mg Capsule

Zylomox 250 mg Capsule is a prescription antibiotic that contains 250 mg of amoxicillin in each capsule. Amoxicillin belongs to the penicillin class of antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not colds or flu caused by viruses. Zylomox 250 mg Capsule may be prescribed for infections of the ear, throat, sinuses, lungs, skin, or urinary tract when the bacteria are likely to respond to amoxicillin.

How it works: Amoxicillin works by blocking bacteria from building a strong protective cell wall, which causes the bacteria to die. In capsule form, Zylomox 250 mg is swallowed and then releases the medicine so it can be absorbed into the body to fight the infection.

Zylomox 250 mg Capsule is the lower capsule strength compared with Zylomox 500 mg Capsule, so it can be a better fit when a prescriber wants smaller single doses or more flexible dosing. A doctor may choose Zylomox 250 mg Capsule for children, for adults who need a lower dose, or when the total daily amount should be built up more gradually based on the infection being treated.

• Ear infections
• Strep throat and other throat infections
• Sinus infections
• Bronchitis and some lung infections
• Skin infections
• Urinary tract infections

• Swallow Zylomox 250 mg Capsule whole with water; do not crush or chew the capsule unless your prescriber gives different instructions.
• It can usually be taken with or without food; taking it with food may help if it upsets your stomach.
• Take it at evenly spaced times to keep the antibiotic level steady in your body.
• 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 dose; do not double up.
• Do not share Zylomox 250 mg Capsule with anyone else, even if their symptoms seem similar.

Each Zylomox 250 mg Capsule provides 250 mg of amoxicillin, which is a moderate capsule strength that may be taken more than once per day depending on the infection. The exact schedule, total daily dose, and maximum amount per day are decided by the prescribing clinician based on age, infection type, kidney function, and response to treatment.

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