COMPOSITION

Contains per ml:

Amoxycillin (as trihydrate)                               150         mg

 

DESCRIPTION

Amoxycillin is a semisynthetic broad-spectrum long-acting penicillin (beta-lactam antibiotic). It has wide spectrum of effect against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Like other penicillins, the mechanism of its effect is based on a blockage of the synthesis of the cell wall in bacteria. The antibiotic is bound to a special binding protein, the synthesis of the cell wall is inhibited by the blockage of synthesis of peptidoglycan and autolytic enzymes are activated in the cell wall resulting in wall lesions and cell death. Antibacterial impact of amoxycillin includes a wide range of microbes such as Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp. (this does not cause penicilliosis), Haemophilus spp., Corynebacterium spp., Brucella spp., Shigella spp., Fusiformis spp., Clostridia spp., Streptococcus faecalis, Salmonella spp., E. Coli, Proteus mirabilis.
