Amoxicillin 500mg Capsules

Pharmacological Action

Amoxicillin is a semi-synthetic, broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotic. It exerts its bactericidal action by inhibiting the biosynthesis of bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan, making it effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and selected Gram-negative organisms.

• Acute bacterial infections of the upper and lower respiratory tract (including community-acquired pneumonia and acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis)
• Uncomplicated urinary tract infections caused by susceptible organisms
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Dental and oral infections
• Typhoid fever and other Salmonella infections (where susceptibility is confirmed)
