First-choice antibiotic to treat nasal infection
Cipmox 500 is an antibiotic medication that contains amoxicillin, which is used to treat various bacterial infections. When it comes to nasal infections, Ciplox 500 can help by targeting and killing the bacteria causing the infection in your nose.
Staphylococcus aureus is a common bacterium that may survive on the skin and in our nose passages without causing damage. However, under certain conditions, like when the immune system is weakened or if there is a break in the skin, staphylococcus aureus can cause a nasal infection.
Cipmox 500 helps clear up nasal infections by fighting off S.aureus bacteria and ultimately helping you get rid of the infection.
Cipmox 500 contains amoxicillin, an antibiotic from the penicillin family. Amoxicillin treats nasal infections by targeting and destroying the germs that cause them.
When you have a nasal infection caused by bacteria, such as staphylococcus aureus or streptococcus pneumoniae, these bacteria multiply and cause inflammation in your nasal passages. This leads to symptoms like congestion, nasal discharge, and facial pain or pressure.
Amoxicillin disrupts the bacteria's ability to construct their cell walls. Bacteria need sturdy cell walls to reproduce. By stopping the formation of these walls, amoxicillin weakens the bacteria, so they can’t survive.
As the bacteria are killed off, your body's immune system can more effectively clear the infection, reducing your symptoms and improving your overall condition.
Cipmox comes in two doses of 250mg and 500mg. For nasal infections, your doctor will usually recommend taking Cipmox 500 which contains 500mg of amoxicillin. Your doctor may suggest taking Cipmox 500 for five to 10 days.

Take the medication exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The typical dosage for Cipmox 500 is one capsule or tablet (500 mg) taken orally every 8 or 12 hours, depending on the severity of your nasal infection.
Take Cipmox 500 at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day to maintain a consistent level of the medication in your bloodstream. You can take it with or without food, but if you get an upset stomach, taking it with food may help.
You may notice an improvement within two to three days of using Cipmox 500. However, in order to prevent your infection from recurring, it is important that you complete the course exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Avoid using Cipmox 500 with foods, drinks, or drugs that may react with it. For example, avoid drinking alcohol while taking antibiotics since it might diminish their efficacy. Never double-dose to compensate for a missing dosage. If you miss a dosage, take it as soon as you recall.
