SUPRIMOX KID TABLET

Uses and Benefits of SUPRIMOX KID TABLET (AMOXYCILLIN)

Amoxycillin is used to treat infections caused by bacteria that are sensitive to it.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Respiratory tract infections such as sinusitis, tonsillitis and bronchitis
• Ear infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections

HOW IT WORKS

• It belongs to the penicillin group of antibiotics
• It stops bacteria from forming their protective cell wall
• Without a proper cell wall, the bacteria burst and die
• This helps clear the infection and reduce symptoms like fever and pain

• Preventing infections that are not bacterial in nature
• Self-treatment without a doctor's advice, as wrong use can cause resistance
