Biomox is a brand name for the antibiotic medication amoxicillin. Amoxicillin belongs to the class of antibiotics known as penicillins and is commonly used to treat various bacterial infections. It is effective against a wide range of bacteria and is often prescribed for respiratory tract infections, ear infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and other types of infections.
Amoxicillin works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and preventing them from forming cell walls, leading to their eventual death. It is available in different forms, including tablets, capsules, chewable tablets, and oral suspension.
As with any medication, Biomox (amoxicillin) may have potential side effects. The most common side effects include gastrointestinal issues like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain. Allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, and swelling, can also occur in some individuals. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about any known allergies or sensitivities before taking Biomox.
The recommended dosage 5mg per pound of body weight administered twice daily for 5 to 7 days or 48 hours after all symptoms have subsided. If no improvement is noted in 5 days, the diagnosis should be reconsidered and therapy changed.
