Can Ampiclox Beecham Prevent Pregnancy

| Ampiclox for preventing |
Ampiclox is a brand of ampicillin and cloxacillin. They are a group of antiinfective agent. They are bactericidal in nature. They are used to treat some form of urinary tract infection (UTI), pneumonia, respiratory tract infection (RTI), ear, nose and throat (ENT) infection, meningitis, gonorrhoea, skin and soft tissue infection, gastrointestinal infection, etc. They affect bacteria reproduction by interfering with their cell wall construction. This drug has some known adverse effects. Adverse effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sin rash, itching, etc.
Ampiclox To Prevent Pregnancy
From the description above, it is obvious that the drug is not medically approved to prevent pregnancy. Not even it's indication or adverse effect. And from it's mechanism of action, it seems practically impossible to prevent pregnancy even at high doses. It is advise that girls using oral contraceptive avoid the use of ampiclox or use a different contraceptive method. This shows that it may even increase chances of getting pregnantš¤°. Not even it's adverse effect can help prevent pregnancy unlike drugs like cyproheptadine whose side effect is increased appetite as against its medical use in antiallergic conditions.
Ampiclox Protect Against STI
Surest way to protect yourself against STI is abstinence and the proper use of condoms. However, people especially girls have device new means of protecting themselves against STI. A good example is ampiclox.
STI are caused by microorganisms of various class. They are fungi, bacteria, virus, yeast, etc. Since ampiclox is an antibiotic, it has no effect on the other class of microorganisms. Also, ampiclox is not effective in treating all forms of STI caused by bacteria.
But the use of ampiclox in preventing some STI may be wrong. I use the word maybe because it is still a matter of debate worldwide. A 2017 study found out that doxycycline is able to protect its users from chlamydia and syphilis as a form of prophylaxis. However, the fear of adopting such strategy is being weighed against development of resistance of some infection to the drug which is more life threatening than what is being prevented.
Dosage
Another matter of concern is how the drug is used. The dosage frequency of ampiclox is about every 6 hours. Some of the users take just a capsule or two and stop until the next time they will need it. This maybe in another two weeks time. This is a time bomb that will soon cause more trouble such as resistance.

Sources Of Information
If you are a pharmacist or a medical doctor who is curious how some of these people get these Information, look no further. They are the product of unprofessional media influencers. They go by funny online names like @bestdoc, @pharmpharm, etc. They share some of these wrong information on very popular blogs and even newspaper. A very good example is the one by legit.com in one of their articles found here https://www.legit.ng/amp/1084383-how-flush-sperm-body.html which said ampiclox work exactly as postinor 2, an emergency contraceptive for females. It has gained more than 700 thousand views within the space of two years. Just imagine the number of people who have gotten hold of such information and will use it for the rest of their lives if something urgent is not done about it soon. These false testimonies make our users gullible.
Testimonies
So many girls give testimonies as to how effective ampiclox is. But they fail to realize that it may look like it is effective if they had unprotected sex during their safe period. Even sex during fertile days is no guarantee of pregnancy. It requires the sperm to hit the right spot on the ovum for fertilization to take place. So ampiclox is not the new cheap, safe and effective postinor 2. Scientists are still working on that.
