Amoxicillin is ansemisynthetic penicillin group antibiotic, which has a wide spectrum of antibacterial action. It is active against many microorganisms, including: gram-positive: aerobic cocci - Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., aerobic non-spore-forming bacteria - Listeria monocytogenes, anaerobic spore-forming bacteria - Clostridium spp, Actynomyces spp., anaerobic non-spore-forming - Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, Corynebacterium spp. gram-negative: aerobic cocci - Actinobacillus spp., aerobic spirochetes - Leptospira spp .; aerobic bacteria - Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Klebsiella spp., Haemophilus spp., Pasteurella spp., Bordetella bronchiseptica, Moraxella spp., Proteus mirabilis, anaerobic non-spore-forming - Fusobacterium necrophorum
Amoxicillin is not active against microorganisms that produce β-lactamase and does not act on penicillin-resistant strains of microorganisms.
The mechanism of the bactericidal action of the antibiotic is to interfere with the synthesis of the cell wall by inhibiting the enzymes transpeptidase and carboxypeptidase, causing a damage of the osmotic pressure in the bacterial cell, which leads to the death of bacteria at the stage of their growth.
Amoxicillin is well absorbed into the bloodstream from the gastrointestinal tract and is rapidly distributed in the organs and tissues. The maximum concentration in blood plasma is reached within 1-2 hours after administration of the veterinary product.
With a constant intake of an antibiotic with water or food, therapeutic concentrations are maintained in the body throughout the entire course of treatment.
Amoxicillin is practically not metabolized and is excreted mainly unchanged with urine and, to a lesser extent, with bile.
Amoxicillin 80-TRV, according to the degree of the exposure, belongs to low-hazard substances (hazard class 4 according to GOST 12.1.007-76).
