Cipmox 500mg (Amoxicillin) Capsules

Cipmox 500mg is a potent, broad-spectrum antibiotic manufactured by Cipla Ltd. It contains Amoxicillin, a member of the penicillin group, which is highly effective in treating a wide range of bacterial infections.

What is Cipmox 500mg used for?

Cipmox is commonly prescribed by healthcare professionals in Nigeria for various bacterial conditions, including:

• Respiratory Tract Infections: Such as pneumonia and bronchitis.
• Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Infections: Including sinusitis, tonsillitis, and pharyngitis (throat infection).
• Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Often referred to locally as part of "toilet infections."
• Skin and Soft Tissue Infections.
• Dental Abscesses: For relief from painful tooth infections.
• Stomach Ulcers: Often used alongside other medications to treat H. pylori infections.

How it works

Amoxicillin works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. This action prevents bacteria from growing and ultimately destroys the infection-causing organisms.

Cipmox should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

• Standard Adult Dose: Typically one 500mg capsule every 8 hours.
