By prescribing an antibiotic, the doctor first determines which infection has caused the infection. After all, different bacteria are resistant to different drugs. Therefore, if you need to replace Ampiox, the analogs should contain the same active substance. Only so the replacement can be considered adequate.
How to replace Ampioks tablets?
Antibiotic Ampioks is a complex drug, it combines just two bactericidal components: ampicillin and oxacillin. Both these substances are semisynthetic analogues of penicillin , but they affect different groups of microorganisms, complementing each other. Ampiox is effective against such bacteria:
- Staphylococcus spp .;
- Streptococcus spp .;
- Actinimyces spp .;
- Corynebacterium diphtheriae;
- Streptococcus pneumoniae;
- Bacillus anthracis;
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae;
- Neisseria meningitides;
- Escherichia coli;
- Salmonella spp .;
- Shigella spp .;
- Proteus mirabilis;
- Haemophilus influenza;
- Haemophilus influenza;
- E. coli;
- Clostridium;
- Pr.mirabilis and others.
These pathogens are the cause of diseases of the respiratory, digestive and genitourinary systems. May provoke the development of suppuration and inflammation. Looking for a replacement for Ampioksu, pay attention to medicines that are effective in fighting bacteria of the same type.
Analogues of the drug Ampiox in the form of tablets are two drugs - Ampicillin and Oxampicin. They need to be used together.
How to replace Ampiox injections?
For intramuscular injections, a powder called Ampioks-Sodium is used. It contains the same active ingredients, but the effect of using the drug comes faster and lasts longer. However, this medicine also needs regular application. Its direct analogue are injections Ampicillin-Oxacillin. There are other medications that can replace this remedy:
- Amoxyl;
- Amoxicillin ;
- Amoxicillin-Solutab;
- Amoxicillin-Forte;
- B-Mox;
- Ospamox;
- Gracsimol.
The most optimal alternative to Ampiox is Amoxicillin-Forte, but the effect of this drug is more pronounced, it is not recommended for use in the treatment of children younger than 16 years. Side effects are also more pronounced.
The composition of all the above pharmacological agents are close to Ampiox, but each of them can cause an allergic reaction, so without consulting a doctor to replace the drug with another, even similar, it is not desirable.
