About CLACIL-625 Tablet , 10's
Amoxycillin 500 mg + Clauvulanic acid 125 mg + Lactobacillus 60 million spores
CLACIL-625 Tablet belongs to a group of antibiotics known as penicillin combination. It
is a
broad-
spectrum antibiotic that works against various types of bacteria.
CLACIL-625 Tablet is
made up
of two
medicines: Amoxicillin (the active part of antibiotic) & Clavulanic acid (that boosts the
efficacy of the
amoxicillin).
CLACIL-625 Tablet is generally prescribed to prevent middle ear and
sinus
infections,
throat or lung respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, soft
tissue infections,
dental infections, joint and bone infections.
Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body. These
harmful
bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you
sick. Amoxicillin
acts by destroying the outer protein layer, thereby killing the bacteria (bactericidal).
Clavulanic acid
inhibits the enzyme beta-lactamase that prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of
amoxicillin. As
a result, the action of Clavulanic acid allows Amoxicillin to work better and kill the
bacteria.
CLACIL-625 Tablet does not work against infections caused by viruses, including cold
and flu.
MOXYCLACIL-625 Tablet should be taken as prescribed by your doctor, preferably with a meal to
avoid stomach upset and at fixed intervals every day for best results.The dose of
CLACIL-625
Tablet
can vary depending upon your condition and the severity of the infection. Also, it is
recommended to
complete the course of medicine even if you feel better as it is an antibiotic, and leaving it
in between
may lead to even severe infection that will, in fact, stop responding to the antibiotic as well
(antibiotic
resistance). The common side effects of
CLACIL-625 Tablet include vomiting, nausea, and
diarrhea.
Everyone need not experience the above side effects. In case of any discomfort, speak with a
doctor.
Before starting
CLACIL-625 Tablet please inform your doctor if you have any allergy
(against
any
antibiotic), kidney or liver problems. Do not take
CLACIL-625 Tablet on your own as
self-medication
may lead to antibiotic resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial
infections.
Uses of CLACIL-625 Tablet
Bacterial Infections (Ear infections (acute otitis media), Bronchitis, Pneumonia, Urinary tract
infections, skin infections, etc.)
Medicinal Benefits
CLACIL-625Tablet is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that covers a very wide range of
bacterial
infections.
CLACIL-625Tablet has the advantage of having Clavulanic acid, which protects
amoxicillin from getting destroyed by the bacterial enzyme increasing its efficacy. Besides
this,
it helps overcome antibiotic resistance in bacteria caused by the enzyme which destroys
amoxicillin (beta-lactamase). This makes the drug effective in multiple infections like ear
infections (acute otitis media), bronchitis, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin
infections,
etc. It can be used safely in children, pregnancy, and breastfeeding if taken at the
prescription
of the doctor.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise
Probiotics should be taken after taking a full course of CLACIL-625 Tablet 10's in order to
restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics
after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain
fermented foods like yogurt, cheese, sauerkraut, kombucha, & kimchi can help restore the
intestine's good bacteria.Include more fibre enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily
digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre rich foods may
help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain
bread, brown rice should be included in your diet.
