About Amphy-375 Injection

Amphy-375 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 bacteria.

Amphy-375 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.

Amphy-375 Injection will be administered by a qualified healthcare professional. The common side-effects of Amphy-375 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. It is not known whether Amphy-375 Injection interacts with alcohol or if it affects your ability to drive. So, please discuss with your doctor about the possible risks and benefits before consuming alcohol with Amphy-375 Injection.

Amphy-375 Injection has broad-spectrum activity and is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It is used to treat bacterial infections such as skin infections, gynaecological infections and intra-abdominal infections.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Probiotics should be taken after taking an entire course of Amphy-375 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 like 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 Amphy-375 Injection as they can make you dehydrated and may affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid Amphy-375 Injection in the fight off infections.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Bacterial infections: A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply and infect the body. It can target any organ of the body and multiply very quickly. Many give off chemicals called toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Bacterial infections vary from minor illnesses (like sore throat and ear infections) to severe brain infections (like meningitis and encephalitis). When infected with bacteria, you can experience generalized symptoms, like fevers, chills and fatigue.  A few harmful bacteria that commonly cause infections include Streptococcus, Staphylococcus and E. coli. Anyone can get a bacterial infection, but people with a weak immune system or taking immunosuppressive medicines like steroids are more prone to infections.
