Gimalxina Amoxicilina 500 Mg (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

I have taken amoxicilina many times during my life; bought in the US and in Honduras. This last week I got a bottle of 60 capsulas while in Cozumel, to complete my antibiotic treatment (I lost the previous amoxi I was taking). I am very familiar with the smell and taste of amoxicilina and penicillin. I open the capsules when I take it, it tastes bad, and has a unique taste & smell (also in urine). The current bottle I just purchased, red & white capsulas, is a white powder with NO taste nor smell. Furthermore, it appears to have no affect on my sinusitis, and NO odor in urine. This is the first Amoxi I have ever taken that is like this (no taste & no odor. So common sense tells me I HAVE BEEN ROBBED. If this is COUNTERFEIT Amoxi, we need to STOP ITS SALE. The bottle I have says, "Hecho en Mexico por: Productos Farmaceuticos. Distribudo por: Grupo Farmaceutico. Who actually makes this? Where is it coming from? Who can we contact to investigate this?

REPORT

This company Collins is well known in the pharmaceutical community for fraud and counterfeit medications. Someone needs to go down to Zapatlan and clean house and sue the owner of this company. I sent a box of twelve 500mg caps to Bayer for HPLC analyses. Shamatzu High Performance Liquid Gas Chromatography. The caps contained no antibiotics. Accession #7757648/2017-05. You may call Salude de Mexico... Pills are 100% fake...

Not really, this is a semisynthetic type of penicillin, so that could be the reason you dont get that smell that penicilling has

I have several packages of 10 sealed in an aluminum packet of red/white capsules that have amoxicillin capsules IP 500 mg Unimax 500 stamped on package, nothing on the red/white capsule. I have taken for 4 days now with no improvement in dental infection. I too noticed the missing smell(on urine) and taste, I just cut one open, very tough to cut and had a slight smell and white powder. Are these legit? Usually dentist prescribes amoxicillin and knocks out a tooth ache in s few days, would appreciate any help/advice.

So I'm confused; counterfeit or not? Who is ART ? He is saying it is; but if you type in Gimalxina amoxicilina; it tells about it.
Or is it only counterfeit if bought in Mexico?

I have the same ones and they seem to work. I do not open them up so I would not know about the smell! Got mine in Cabo.

WARNING! AMOXICILLIN (Penicillin) from Mexico IS COUNTERFEIT if there is no sulfur smell. Amoxicillin (and Penicillin) are sulfur compounds, and yield a strong sulfur odor in sweat and urine. They also have a bad sulfur taste if you break them open to taste them. If no sulfur order is detected, you can bet they are placebos (counterfeit) and you have been robbed and deceived. The brand (trademark) Gimalxina, made in Mexico, has been identified as one of Mexico's many counterfeit (placebo, i.e. fake) drugs. DO NOT waste your money or RISK your health with drugs that are not FDA approved or made in Mexico. They won't help your illness and can even harm you!

Hello, Jimbo! Sorry that you're sick and seem to have gotten gypped on the medication.

The operative word here, however, is Mexico! No, there is no agency or anything to report it to and nothing that can be done. They have their own rules there, which can basically be summed up as: There are virtually no regulations for prescription drugs!

No one is going to investigate if you report this, no one is going to worry that perhaps you were sold placebos, or any such thing. This actually happens pretty regularly and is just one of the hazards of purchasing drugs that aren't FDA approved for the U.S. market.

I've taken it myself, I am well aware of the sulfur smell that they have and cause in your urine, their not having it definitely makes me suspicious, as well.

The best suggestion I can make is to see your doctor and get a prescription for a legitimate supple of it.
