What is Campiciline Capsule

Campiciline Capsule is an antibiotic treatment used to treat bacterial infections, including Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), respiratory tract infections, gastrointestinal infections, and skin infections. It contains Ampicillin, a penicillin-class antibiotic that works by stopping bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to the destruction of the bacteria.

Ampicillin, the active ingredient in Campiciline 500 mg, belongs to the beta-lactam antibiotic group. It works by interfering with the formation of bacterial cell walls, which are needed for bacterial survival. By preventing cell wall synthesis, it weakens the bacteria, causing them to rupture and eventually die. This makes it effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Patients allergic to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics should avoid taking Campiciline 500 mg. It may cause diarrhea, so staying hydrated is essential. Misuse or overuse may lead to antibiotic resistance, making future infections harder to treat.

Long-term use may lead to a secondary infection or fungal overgrowth. It can interact with oral contraceptives, blood thinners, and certain diuretics, affecting their efficacy. Prolonged use of may disturb gut bacteria, leading to digestive issues. Taking probiotics can help with gut health.

Regular monitoring and proper dosage adherence are crucial for safe and effective treatment with Campiciline. It is manufactured by J.R.S Oryx Pharmaceuticals Private Limited in GMP-compliant facilities.
