Amoxicillin (Amoxil) GlaxoSmithKline Uk
- Pack Size : 21, 250mg
How it Works:
Amoxicillin, the active ingredient in Amoxil, belongs to a class of drugs known as penicillin antibiotics. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to the death of susceptible bacteria. Amoxicillin exerts its bactericidal action by binding to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located in the bacterial cell wall, thereby disrupting the formation of peptidoglycan, an essential component of the bacterial cell wall. This disruption weakens the bacterial cell wall, leading to cell lysis and ultimately, the death of the bacteria.
