1. Amoxicillin — 500 mg

• A penicillin-class β-lactam antibiotic.

• Inhibits bacterial cell-wall synthesis.

• Kills susceptible bacteria.

• The 500 mg is generally supplied as amoxicillin trihydrate equivalent to 500 mg amoxicillin. (Zuventus)

2. Clavulanic acid — 125 mg

• A β-lactamase inhibitor.

• Certain bacteria produce β-lactamase enzymes that can destroy amoxicillin.

• Clavulanate inhibits these enzymes and thereby extends amoxicillin's activity against susceptible resistant bacteria. (Zuventus)

3. Lactic Acid Bacillus — 60 million spores

• A probiotic component.

• Included to help maintain/support the intestinal microbial balance during antibiotic treatment.

• Antibiotics can disturb normal gut bacteria and may cause antibiotic-associated diarrhea; the probiotic component is intended to help with this problem. (Zuventus)

Why it is called “625”

The antibiotic portion is:

Amoxicillin 500 mg + Clavulanic acid 125 mg = 625 mg

The 60 million probiotic spores are additional and are not included in the “625” designation.

In short

Moxycot-LB 625 = Amoxicillin 500 mg + Clavulanic acid 125 mg + Lactic Acid Bacillus 60 million spores per tablet.

Important precautions

• This is a prescription antibiotic and should be used only when a bacterial infection is suspected/confirmed and prescribed.

• It does not treat viral colds or influenza.

• Common adverse effects include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal discomfort.

• Avoid it if you have had a serious penicillin/β-lactam allergy.

• Severe rash, facial/throat swelling, breathing difficulty, or persistent/severe diarrhea requires medical attention.

Exact Accott-specific excipients cannot be confirmed from the front photograph. Comparable 625-LB formulations list excipients q.s. and coating colours, but those should not automatically be assumed to be identical to Moxycot-LB. (Zuventus)
