HOW MOX 500MG CAPSULE WORKS
MOX 500MG CAPSULE contains a medicine called Amoxicillin which is a type of antibiotic that belongs to the penicillin group. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. Bacteria have a protective outer layer called the cell wall, which is essential for their survival. Amoxicillin interferes with the enzymes that are responsible for forming the cell wall, specifically targeting the cross-linking process. This weakens the cell wall, causing it to rupture and ultimately leading to the death of the bacteria. This action makes amoxicillin effective against a wide range of bacterial infections.

To manage nausea caused by antibiotics, it's important to take the medication with food unless otherwise directed by your doctor, as this can help reduce stomach irritation. Drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated can also alleviate nausea. Eating small, frequent meals and avoiding spicy or greasy foods may further help.
