Amoxicillin Sodium

Amoxicillin sodium (Amox) is a moderate- spectrum, bacteriolytic, β-lactam antibiotic. Amoxicillin sodium (Amox) is used to treat bacterial infections caused by susceptible microorganisms. Amoxicillin sodium (Amox) is usually the drug of choice within the class because it is better absorbed, following oral administration, than other β-lactam antibiotics. Amoxicillin sodium (Amox) is susceptible to degradation by β-lactamase-producing bacteria, which are resistant to a broad spectrum of β-lactam antibiotics, such as penicillin. For this reason, it is often combined with clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin sodium (Amox) acts by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. Amoxicillin sodium (Amox) inhibits cross-linkage between the linear peptidoglycan polymer chains that make up a major c
