COMPOSITION:-

DESCRIPTION:- Amoxicillin is a semi-synthetic amino penicillin, an analogue of ampicillin,with a Good spectrum of bactericidal activity against many gram-positive and gram-negative micro-organisms. Amoxycillin is stable in presence of gastric acid and may be given without regard to meals.

It acts through inhibition of biosynthesis of cell wall mucopeptide and bacterial cell explodes due to internal pressure. Its oral absorption is better and has higher and more sustained blood levels. It has low incidences of diarrhoea. It is active against shigella and H.Influenza.It is also more active against those microbes which are sensitive to PenicillinG; in addition many gram negative bacilli like E.Colli,proteus, Salmonella are inhibited . Cloxacillin has an isoxazolyl side chain and is highly penicillinase as well as acid resistant. It is more active than methicillin against penicillinase producing Staph. It absobed from gut. A combination of Amoxicillin and Cloxacillin is clinically effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms including penicilinase producing bacteria.
