How it works
Hilox Kid 125mg Tablet is an antibiotic with a probiotic agent. Amoxycillin, the antibiotic, works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) which is essential for the survival of the bacteria. This action aids in killing the infection-causing bacteria and prevents the infection from spreading without making them resistant to further treatment. The other agent, lactobacillus, helps prevent side effects such as diarrhea by restoring the balance of healthy bacteria in your child’s gut.
Quick Tips
Complete the entire course of antibiotics without stopping the medicine in between. Conditions like the common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Give Hilox Kid 125mg Tablet to your child only for their current infection. Stop this medicine and immediately report to your child’s doctor in case your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties while taking this medicine.
