About Zenoclav-625 Tablet 10's

Zenoclav-625 Tablet 10's is used to treat bacterial infections in the body that affect the skin, soft tissues, lungs, ears, urinary tract, and nasal sinuses. It should be mentioned that viral infections like the flu and the common cold are not treated by this medication.

Zenoclav-625 Tablet 10's consists of two medicines: Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin acts by destroying the outer protein layer, thereby killing the bacteria (bactericidal action). Clavulanic acid inhibits the enzyme beta-lactamase, which prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of amoxycillin. As a result, the action of Clavulanic acid allows Amoxycillin to work better and kill the bacteria. Zenoclav-625 Tablet 10's does not work against infections caused by viruses, including colds and flu.

The dose of Zenoclav-625 Tablet 10's can vary depending on your condition and the severity of the infection. Also, it is recommended to complete the course of medicine even if you feel better as it is an antibiotic, and leaving it in between may lead to even severe infection that will, in fact, stop responding to the antibiotic as well (antibiotic resistance). The common side effects of Zenoclav-625 Tablet 10's include vomiting, nausea, and diarrhoea. Everyone may not experience the above side effects. In case of any discomfort, speak with a doctor.

Before starting Zenoclav-625 Tablet 10's, please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic) or kidney or liver problems. Do not take Zenoclav-625 Tablet 10's on your own as self-medication since it may lead to antibiotic resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Zenoclav-625 Tablet 10's is safe for children if prescribed by a doctor; the dose and duration may vary depending on the child’s weight and the severity of the infection. Inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking and about your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, 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.

  • Probiotics should be taken after taking a full course of Zenoclav-625 Tablet 10's in order 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.

  • Avoid alcoholic beverages with Zenoclav-625 Tablet 10's as they can make you dehydrated and may affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the Zenoclav-625 Tablet 10's in fighting off infections.

Special Advise

  • Even if you feel better after taking Zenoclav-625 Tablet 10's, do not stop taking it until your doctor says so. This might cause the symptoms to reappear and make the infection difficult to treat due to antibiotic resistance.

  • Make sure you drink plenty of fluids when you are sick. This will, in general, help you clear out the infection faster, protect you from dehydration, and help you overcome some unpleasant side effects of taking Zenoclav-625 Tablet 10's.

  • Some people may be allergic to Zenoclav-625 Tablet 10's or other penicillin or cephalosporin group of antibiotics. So a prior sensitivity test may be necessary. Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any medicine, particularly antibiotics belonging to these groups.
