PROPERTIES
Amoxycillin is a broad spectrum β-lactam antibiotic which acts by inhibiting mucopeptide synthesis in the bacterial cell wall. It is active against Gram positive such as Staphylococci that do not produce penicillinase, Streptococcus spp., Corynebacterium spp., Clostridium spp., Actinomyces spp., Bacillus anthracis, Listeria monocytogenes, and Gram negative bacteria such as Proteus mirabilis, Pasteurella spp., Haemophilus spp., Actinobacillus spp., Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Morarella spp., Fusobacterium.
Amoxycillin has good absorption and is widely distributed in all tissues. It is mainly eliminated through the urine in its active form..
