Frequently asked Questions about Amfect

Question about 5 years ago

How long can I safely take Amfect?

Dr. Chinmaya Bal MBBS , General Physician

Amfect can be safely taken as prescribed by your doctor. Do not discontinue the medicine suddenly or take it longer than prescribed duration.

Question over 4 years ago

Does Amfect cover pseudomonas?

Dr. Sameer Awadhiya MBBS , Pediatrics

Yes, Amfect is effective against bacteria (Pseudomonas). But it is also found that Pseudomonas can get resistant to this drug and in that case Amfect will not produce desired results. If you are experiencing no symptomatic relief after taking this medicine then inform your doctor and follow his/her instructions.

Question almost 5 years ago

Can I take Amfect with penicillin?

Dr. Braj Bhushan Ojha BAMS , Gastroenterology, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Ayurveda, Sexology, Diabetology

No, Amfect cannot be taken with penicillin. Because penicillin inactivates the Amfect by combining the beta-lactam ring of penicillin with an amino group of this drug to form amide which is biologically inactive. For this reason Amfect should not be taken with penicillin. The chances of inactivation of this drug are higher in case of renal failure because in this case concentration of penicillin is higher in the kidney for a longer time as compared to the normal renal function. 

Question almost 5 years ago

Does Amfect cause diarrhea?

Yes, Amfect has been reported to cause diarrhoea and it is a common side effect of this medicine. Drink plenty of fluids while you are taking this medicine. If you are experiencing severe diarrhoea after using this drug, discuss with your doctor immediately without any further delay.
