Quick tips

  • Ampilox-LB Capsule is given to treat a bacterial infection.
  • It is better to take it when your stomach is empty, which means taking your doses one hour before you eat any food, or waiting until two hours afterward. This is because the food might decrease or delay the absorption of Ampilox-LB Capsule.
  • If you are taking any contraceptive 'pill' at the same time as this antibiotic, the effectiveness of the 'pill' can be reduced if you have a bout of being sick (vomiting) which lasts for more than 24 hours. In such a case, ask your doctor for additional contraceptive precautions.
  • Ampilox-LB Capsule can reduce the effectiveness of oral typhoid vaccine. If you are due to have any vaccinations, make sure the person treating you knows that you are taking this antibiotic.
