Supramox 125mg/5ml Syrup 90ml is an oral amoxicillin antibiotic from the penicillin family. It works by interfering with the formation of bacterial cell walls, helping eliminate susceptible bacteria.

It may be prescribed for certain ear, throat, respiratory, sinus, urinary tract, and skin infections. The 125mg/5ml strength is a lower-concentration liquid formulation that may be prescribed when a specific dose is required, particularly in children. The dose should always be determined by a healthcare professional based on age, body weight, kidney function, and the type of infection.

Supramox is not effective against viral infections such as the common cold or flu.
