What is Cilicaine VK (Phenoxymethylpencillin) used for?

Cilicaine VK (Phenoxymethylpenicillin) is an oral antibiotic used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. The medication prevents the reproduction of bacteria cells so that the immune system may destroy or alter the effects of their contents. This makes it useful for treating bacterial infections affecting the tonsils, middle ear, lungs, airways, skin, or soft tissues. Your doctor may prescribe this medication to be used along with others or for the treatment of other unlisted conditions, as well.

How should I use Cilicaine VK (Phenoxymethylpencillin)?

Follow your doctor`s instructions while using Cilicaine VK (Phenoxymethylpenicillin) to ensure the safest and most effective results from treatment. The normal dosage is one capsule taken once or twice each day for a cycle of medicine lasting one or two weeks, but your particular directions will depend on your age, weight, current health, the condition being treated, and the severity of your symptoms. These should be swallowed with a large glass of water and may be taken on an empty stomach, although a snack or meal is recommended prior to use if you experience nausea. Do not open the capsules or dissolve their contents in water as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents. Never stop using the medicine, even if your symptoms seem to have disappeared, as the infection may not be destroyed and can return stronger or more resistant to treatment. Ask your doctor or pharmacist any questions you have about the medicine to ensure the correct administration.
