Moxilin 500 mg Capsule, manufactured by ACME Laboratories Ltd., is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the penicillin class. It contains amoxicillin trihydrate, which is effective against various bacterial infections. Amoxicillin works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to the destruction of the bacteria.
This medication is commonly prescribed for treating respiratory tract infections (such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and otitis media), urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and certain sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhea. It is also used in combination with other medications to treat Helicobacter pylori infections associated with peptic ulcers.
The typical adult dosage is 250 mg to 500 mg taken three times daily, depending on the severity of the infection. For more severe infections, the dosage may be increased as directed by a healthcare provider. It's important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed to prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
