Is Novaclox LB Safe Post Extraction Of Wisdom Tooth?

Hi three days back i got my two wisdom tooth out so doctor gave me few medicines for recovery. The problem is that by mistake the chemist has given me NOVACLOX LB 500 instead of what doctor wrote i.e NOVAMOX LB 500. After three days i have realised this. So can you please tell me that this is fine or not.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain Novamox contains main ingredient as antibiotic Amoxicillin while Novaclox contains a combination of antibiotics Amoxicillin+Cloxacillin..
As both the medications are suitable and can be very well taken as post operative treatment therefore if you are taking Novalclox instead of novamox, and there s no discomfort or problem associated with the intake of medicine you need not to worry and can continue with the antibiotic..
As it is not a varied difference in the medication, there is no problem associated with taking the antibiotic, but you should take a lesson from this and in future always check the medication or get it re-checked with your doctor so that you do not tend to take any wrong medication accidentally that can be fatal..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
