Evomox Lb 625mg Tab

EVOMOX LB 625MG Tablet

EVOMOX LB 625MG Tablet, manufactured by EVONEXT HEALTHCARE DIV., is a combination medication designed to combat various bacterial infections and support gut health during antibiotic treatment.

• Composition: Each tablet contains Amoxycillin (500mg), Clavulanic Acid (125mg), and Lactobacillus (60 Million spores). Amoxycillin is an antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, while Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents bacterial resistance and enhances Amoxycillin's effectiveness. Lactobacillus is a probiotic added to restore the balance of healthy gut bacteria, which can be disrupted by antibiotics, thereby improving digestion and overall health.

• Uses: EVOMOX LB 625MG Tablet is prescribed for a wide range of bacterial infections. These include tonsillitis, sinusitis, otitis media, respiratory tract infections (such as pneumonia and bronchitis), urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections (like boils, abscesses, and cellulitis), wound infections, bone infections, dental infections, and stomach ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori bacteria. It also helps in preventing diarrhea that can be a side effect of antibiotic use.

• Dosage and Administration: This medicine should be taken as prescribed by your doctor, typically every 8 or 12 hours. It is generally recommended to take it with a meal or snack to minimize stomach upset. Swallow the tablet whole; do not chew, crush, or break it. It is crucial to complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve, to ensure all bacteria are eradicated and to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.

• Side Effects: Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion, abdominal pain, headache, and skin rash. More serious side effects can involve allergic reactions (such as an itchy rash, swelling of the face, throat or tongue, or breathing difficulties), dizziness, or fits. If any severe or persistent side effects occur, medical attention should be sought immediately.

• Precautions:

  • EVOMOX LB 625MG Tablet is contraindicated in individuals with a known history of allergic reactions to penicillin or those with cholestatic jaundice/liver dysfunction associated with previous use of similar medications.
  • Patients with kidney disease should use this medicine with caution, and dose adjustment may be necessary. It is not recommended for those with severe kidney disease.
  • Caution is also advised for patients with liver disease.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use, although it is considered safe during breastfeeding as significant amounts do not pass into breastmilk.
  • Avoid or limit alcohol consumption as its safety with this medicine is not fully known and it can worsen side effects like nausea and dizziness.
  • This medication may cause dizziness or fits, which can impair the ability to drive or operate machinery.

• Storage: Store EVOMOX LB 625MG Tablet in its original container, tightly closed, in a cool and dry place, protected from direct sunlight, moisture, and heat. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Dispose of any unused medicine safely according to instructions on the label.

EVOMOX LB 625MG TAB is a combination antibiotic medication typically containing Amoxicillin, Clavulanic Acid, and Lactobacillus. It is prescribed to treat various bacterial infections while also helping to mitigate common antibiotic side effects like diarrhea.

Here are some frequently asked questions about EVOMOX LB 625MG TAB:

What is EVOMOX LB 625MG TAB used for?

EVOMOX LB 625MG TAB is primarily used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. This includes infections of the ears, lungs, sinus, skin, and urinary tract. It is also used for respiratory tract infections like pneumonia and bronchitis, throat infections, dental infections, and may help with infectious diarrhea. The Lactobacillus component helps to prevent diarrhea that can occur as a side effect of the antibiotic.

How does EVOMOX LB 625MG TAB work?

This medicine combines three active ingredients: Amoxicillin, Clavulanic Acid, and Lactobacillus.

• Amoxicillin is a penicillin-like antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria by preventing the formation of their protective cell walls, which are essential for their survival.
• Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Some bacteria produce enzymes called beta-lactamases that can destroy amoxicillin, making it ineffective. Clavulanic acid prevents these enzymes from working, thereby enhancing amoxicillin's activity and overcoming bacterial resistance.
• Lactobacillus is a probiotic. It helps restore the balance of healthy bacteria in the gut, which can be disrupted by antibiotics, and thus helps improve digestion and reduce antibiotic-associated diarrhea.

What is the usual dosage for EVOMOX LB 625MG TAB?

EVOMOX LB 625MG TAB is a prescription medicine, and the exact dosage will depend on the specific infection, its severity, and the patient's age and weight. It is generally taken by mouth, usually with a meal or snack, either every 8 hours (three times a day) or every 12 hours (twice a day). It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and take the medication at a fixed time each day for better efficacy.

What are the possible side effects of EVOMOX LB 625MG TAB?

Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion, and abdominal pain.

Serious side effects are less common but can occur. These include:

• Severe allergic reactions like rash, itching, hives, difficulty breathing or swallowing, and swelling of the face, throat, tongue, or lips.
• Severe or bloody diarrhea, stomach cramps, or fever, which can occur during or even months after treatment.
• Liver problems, indicated by symptoms such as yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, pain in the upper stomach, fatigue, or loss of appetite.

Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any serious side effects.

Is EVOMOX LB 625MG TAB safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Pregnancy: The use of amoxicillin, with or without clavulanic acid, is generally considered safe for pregnant women. Most studies have not found an increased chance of birth defects when taken during the first trimester. However, it should be used with caution, especially in the first trimester, and only when clearly needed. It's important to discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.

Breastfeeding: Amoxicillin and clavulanic acid pass into breast milk in small amounts. These small amounts are not typically expected to cause side effects for most nursing infants. However, infants should be monitored for potential side effects such as rash, diarrhea, or restlessness.

Can EVOMOX LB 625MG TAB be taken with other medications?

EVOMOX LB 625MG TAB can interact with certain medications.

• It may decrease the effectiveness of oral contraceptives (birth control pills); an alternative birth control method may be needed.
• It can increase the effects of warfarin (a blood thinner), increasing the risk of bleeding.
• It may increase the concentration and toxicity of methotrexate.
• Concomitant use with allopurinol (for gout) may increase the risk of skin rash.
• Probenecid can prevent the normal elimination of amoxicillin, leading to higher blood levels.
• Live bacterial vaccines (like typhoid vaccine) may not work as effectively.

Always inform your doctor or pharmacist about all other medications, supplements, and herbal products you are taking.

What precautions should be taken while using EVOMOX LB 625MG TAB?

• Inform your doctor if you have any known allergies to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics, or if you have had liver problems from previous use of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, liver disease, mononucleosis, or stomach/intestine problems like colitis.
• Take the medicine exactly as prescribed and complete the full course of treatment, even if you start feeling better. Stopping too soon can lead to the infection returning and bacteria becoming resistant.
• Take the medication with food or a snack to help reduce stomach upset.
• This medication may affect certain laboratory tests, so inform your healthcare providers and lab personnel that you are taking it.

What happens if a dose of EVOMOX LB 625MG TAB is missed?

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

How should EVOMOX LB 625MG TAB be stored?

Tablets should generally be stored at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light.

If the medicine is in a suspension (liquid) form after reconstitution, it usually needs to be stored in a refrigerator (between 2-8°C) to maintain its effectiveness. Reconstituted suspensions have a limited shelf-life, typically around 7 days, even when refrigerated. Always check the specific storage instructions provided with your medication.
