What is Amoxicillin?
Active Ingredients: Amoxicillin Sodium
Amoxicillin Sodium for Injection is a penicillin antibiotic drug used to treat different types of infections, such as ear infections, bladder infections, pneumonia, chlamydia, and streptococcal pharyngitis. It is typically a first-choice antibiotic because it is better absorbed than other beta-lactam antibiotics.
Amoxicillin is a moderate-spectrum, beta-lactam antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections caused by susceptible microorganisms. It works by killing bacteria, which prevents growth. This medicine will not work for viral infections.
This form of Amoxicillin Sodium has been manufactured as a powder for reconstitution. It is intended to be mixed into its injectable form and then administered by a healthcare professional.
