What is Clamoxyl 125mg/5ml?
Penicillins are used to treat infections caused by bacteria. They work by killing the bacteria or preventing their growth.
There are several different kinds of penicillins. Each is used to treat different kinds of infections. One kind of penicillin usually may not be used in place of another. In addition, penicillins are used to treat bacterial infections in many different parts of the body. They are sometimes given with other antibacterial medicines (antibiotics). Some of the penicillins may also be used for other problems as determined by your doctor. However, none of the penicillins will work for colds, flu, or other virus infections.
Penicillins are available only with your doctor's prescription.
Once a medicine has been approved for marketing for a certain use, experience may show that it is also useful for other medical problems. Although these uses are not included in product labeling, penicillins are used in certain patients with the following medical conditions:
- Chlamydia infections in pregnant women—Clamoxyl 125mg/5ml and ampicillin
- Gas gangrene—Penicillin G
- Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis or peptic ulcer disease—Clamoxyl 125mg/5ml
- Leptospirosis—Ampicillin and penicillin G
- Lyme disease—Clamoxyl 125mg/5ml and penicillin V

What are the possible side effects of Clamoxyl 125mg/5ml?
. Overdosage
In case of overdosage, discontinue medication, treat symptomatically, and institute supportive measures as required. If the overdosage is very recent and there is no contraindication, an attempt at emesis or other means of removal of drug from the stomach may be performed. A prospective study of 51 pediatric patients at a poison-control center suggested that overdosages of less than 250 mg/kg of Clamoxyl 125mg/5ml are not associated with significant clinical symptoms and do not require gastric emptying.3
Interstitial nephritis resulting in oliguric renal failure has been reported in a small number of patients after overdosage with Clamoxyl 125mg/5ml.
Crystalluria, in some cases leading to renal failure, has also been reported after Clamoxyl 125mg/5ml overdosage in adult and pediatric patients. In case of overdosage, adequate fluid intake and diuresis should be maintained to reduce the risk of Clamoxyl 125mg/5ml crystalluria.
Renal impairment appears to be reversible with cessation of drug administration. High blood levels may occur more readily in patients with impaired renal function because of decreased renal clearance of Clamoxyl 125mg/5ml. Clamoxyl 125mg/5ml may be removed from circulation by hemodialysis.
