ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: AMOXICILLIN + CLOXACILLIN
Ethiclox is a powerful combination antibiotic that pairs two effective penicillins: Amoxicillin and Cloxacillin. This "dual-action" approach broadens the spectrum of bacteria the medicine can fight. While Amoxicillin handles a wide range of common bacteria, Cloxacillin is specifically included to tackle "Staphylococcal" bacteria that produce enzymes (penicillinase) which normally destroy standard penicillins.
This 500mg combination is used to treat various moderate-to-severe bacterial infections, including:
Respiratory Tract Infections: Such as severe bronchitis, pneumonia, or infected tonsils (tonsillitis).
Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Boils, abscesses, infected wounds, cellulitis, and carbuncles.
Ear, Nose, and Throat Infections: Severe sinusitis or otitis media (middle ear infection).
Post-Surgical Infections: Used to prevent or treat infections following surgical procedures.
Bone Infections: Such as osteomyelitis.
Amoxicillin (250mg): A broad-spectrum antibiotic that kills a wide variety of bacteria by preventing them from building their cell walls.
Cloxacillin (250mg): A penicillinase-resistant antibiotic that targets specific bacteria that have become resistant to regular amoxicillin.
Standard Dose: Usually one (1) 500mg capsule every 6 hours (four times a day).
Timing: For the best results, take the capsules 30 to 60 minutes before a meal (on an empty stomach). Cloxacillin, in particular, is absorbed much better when the stomach is empty.
Finish the Course: CRITICAL: Even if you feel better after 2 days, you must complete the entire pack. Stopping early allows the strongest bacteria to survive and become "antibiotic-resistant."
Consistency: Space your doses evenly throughout the day (e.g., 6 AM, 12 PM, 6 PM, 12 AM).
Swallow Whole: Take the capsule with a full glass of water.
Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one. Do not take a double dose.
Penicillin Allergy: WARNING: Do not take Ethiclox if you have ever had a severe allergic reaction (rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing) to Penicillin, Amoxicillin, or Cephalosporins.
Diarrhea: If you develop severe, watery, or bloody diarrhea during or after treatment, stop use and contact our pharmacist immediately. This could be a sign of a secondary bowel infection.
Kidney/Liver Health: Ensure our pharmacist is aware if you have pre-existing kidney or liver issues, as dose adjustments may be needed.
Oral Contraceptives: Like many antibiotics, Ethiclox may temporarily reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills. Use an additional barrier method (condoms) during treatment.
Indicated For: Adults and children (where the dose is appropriate) with bacterial infections, particularly those involving the skin or respiratory system where resistant "Staph" bacteria are suspected.
Q: Can I take this with food if it upsets my stomach?
A: While it is best on an empty stomach for maximum absorption, if it causes significant nausea, you may take it with a small amount of light food. Avoid heavy dairy or fatty meals right at the time of the dose.
Q: Does it treat a viral sore throat?
A: No. Ethiclox only works against bacteria. It will not cure viral infections like the common cold, flu, or most sore throats.
Q: Why "every 6 hours"?
A: Cloxacillin stays in the body for a shorter time than other antibiotics. Taking it every 6 hours ensures there is always enough medicine in your blood to keep the bacteria from growing.
