Beecham Ampiclox Suspension 250mg/5ml (100ml)

Beecham Ampiclox Suspension is a trusted, broad-spectrum antibiotic combination formulated for pediatric use. It contains two active ingredients, Ampicillin and Cloxacillin, which work together to eliminate various bacterial infections in children.

This "Ampiclox" combination is highly effective because while Ampicillin targets a wide range of bacteria, Cloxacillin is specifically designed to kill bacteria that are resistant to regular penicillin.

Uses of Beecham Ampiclox Suspension

In Nigeria, doctors commonly prescribe Beecham Ampiclox for children aged 2 to 12 years to treat:

• Respiratory Tract Infections: Including coughs, chest infections, and bronchitis.
• ENT Infections: Such as ear infections, sore throats, and sinus issues.
• Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Including boils and infected wounds.
• Gastrointestinal Infections: Infections of the gut or stomach.
