Amoxicillin - Cipmox 250mg and 500mg Capsules, Pack of 60

Cipmox - Amoxicillin 250mg and 500mg Capsules

Cipmox contains amoxicillin, a penicillin antibiotic supplied as 250 mg or 500 mg capsules in packs of 60. It is prescribed for bacterial infections of the chest, throat, ears, urinary tract and skin, and - with other medicines - for H. pylori stomach ulcers. It does not treat viruses, so it is never used for colds or flu. Where penicillins are unsuitable, a doctor may prescribe a macrolide such as azithromycin instead.

• Two strengths - Cipmox 250 mg and Cipmox 500 mg, 60 capsules per pack
• Penicillin antibiotic - active against common respiratory, urinary and skin pathogens
• Manufactured as a generic - marketed under the Cipmox brand name
• Ships internationally from the supplier warehouse

Variant Comparison

Both packs hold the same medicine, amoxicillin, and differ only in strength. Which you need is set by the infection's severity and the schedule your prescriber picks, not the brand: 250 mg to 500 mg three times a day, or 500 mg to 875 mg twice a day. The table compares the two.

The difference is how much amoxicillin each capsule delivers. A twice-daily schedule needs Cipmox 500 mg, since 500 mg to 875 mg per intake is the usual adult range, while three smaller intakes of 250 mg to 500 mg suit Cipmox 250 mg. Where beta-lactamase enzymes are a concern, amoxicillin and clavulanic acid is used instead, and for atypical or tick-borne infections a doctor may prefer doxycycline.

How Amoxicillin Works

Amoxicillin belongs to the aminopenicillin group inside the wider beta-lactam family. It binds to the proteins bacteria use to build their cell wall and blocks the final cross-linking step, so the wall weakens and the cell bursts as it divides. This is bactericidal - the bacteria are killed, not simply held in check. It is not stable against beta-lactamase enzymes, so enzyme-producing bacteria can survive unless an inhibitor is added.

Dosage & Administration

The usual adult dose is 250 mg to 500 mg three times a day, or 500 mg to 875 mg twice a day - 750 mg to 1750 mg in 24 hours. Capsules can be taken with or without food, and a meal can reduce stomach upset. Swallow them whole with water. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless the next dose is nearly due, and never take two doses at once. Complete the full course prescribed, even if you feel better after a few days. Follow your prescribing physician's instructions.
