Moxmentin Dry Syrup
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Moxmentin Dry Syrup is an antibiotic that helps your body fight infections caused by bacteria. It is used to treat infections of the lungs (e.g., pneumonia), ear, nasal sinus, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissue. It will not work for viral infections such as the common cold.
Moxmentin Dry Syrup is best taken with a meal to reduce the chance of a stomach upset. You should take it regularly at evenly spaced intervals as per the schedule prescribed by your doctor. Taking it at the same time every day will help you to remember to take it. The dose will depend on what you are being treated for, but you should always complete a full course of this antibiotic as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking it until you have finished, even when you feel better. If you stop taking it early, some bacteria may survive and the infection may come back or worsen.
The most common side effects of Moxmentin Dry Syrup include vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. These are usually mild but let your doctor know if they bother you or will not go away.
Before taking it, let your doctor know if you are allergic to any antibiotics or have any kidney or liver problems. You should also let your healthcare team know about all other medicines you are taking as they may affect, or be affected by, Moxmentin Dry Syrup. This medicine is generally regarded as safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding if prescribed by a doctor.
