About Amoctam 3gm Injection

Amoctam 3gm Injection belongs to the group of medications called antibiotics, used to treat bacterial infections. Bacterial infections are caused by the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Symptoms of bacterial infection vary depending on the organ affected by the bacteria.

Amoctam 3gm Injection contains Amoxicillin and Sulbactam. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering, which is required for bacterial survival. Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that reduces resistance and improves Amoxicillin's antibacterial activity.

A qualified healthcare professional will administer Amoctam 3gm Injection. The common side-effects of Amoctam 3gm Injection are redness, irritation, or pain at the injection site, diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side effects persist or get worse, inform your doctor immediately.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to amoxicillin, sulbactam, or any other medicines in the past or if you have had liver or kidney problems. It is essential to inform the healthcare professional if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not take any other medicines, including herbal remedies, vitamins, or supplements, without first consulting your doctor.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Probiotics should be taken after taking an entire course of Amoctam 3gm Injection 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, such as yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut, kombucha, and 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. Fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet.
  • Avoid alcoholic beverages with Amoctam 3gm Injection as they can make you dehydrated and may affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid Amoctam 3gm Injection in the fight off infections.
