What is Amoxicillin?
Active Ingredients: Amoxicillin
Amoxicillin Soluble Powder is a long-acting antibiotic drug used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections in animals such as cows, sheep, goats, pigs, poultry, dogs and cats. It is indicated for the treatment of skin infections, gastrointestinal tract infections, bone/joint infections, and many other types of infections.
Amoxicillin is a moderate-spectrum, beta-lactam antibiotic. It works by inhibiting cell wall synthesis, which kills the bacteria. It shows bactericidal activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including Streptococci, Staphylococci (non-penicillinase-producing), Bacillus anthracis, Corynebacterium, Clostridium, Brucella, Haemophilus, Pasteurella, Salmonella, Moraxella, E. coli, Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, Fusiformis, Bordetella, Diplococci, Micrococci, and Sphaerophorus necrophorus.
