ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Amoxicillin exerts its bactericidal action by interfering with
bacterial cell wall synthesis.
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE
APO-AMOXI may be indicated in the treatment of infections due to
susceptible strains of the
following micro-organisms: Gram-negative organisms: H. influenzae, P.
mirabilis and N.
gonorrhoeae. Gram-positive organisms: Streptococci (including
Streptococcus faecalis and
Streptococcus pneumoniae).
Amoxicillin is not active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
indole-positive Proteus species,
Serratia marcescens, Klebsiella and Enterobacter species.
In emergency cases, where the causative organism is not yet
identified, therapy may be initiated
with amoxicillin on the basis of clinical judgment while awaiting
bacteriologic tests to determine its
antimicrobial sensitivity.
APO-AMOXI may be indicated as a prophylaxis against alpha-hemolytic
(Viridan's group)
Streptococci before dental, oral or upper respiratory tract surgery or
instrumentation.
It may be also indicated as a prophylaxis of bacterial endocarditis in
patients with any of the
following conditions: congenital cardiac malformations, rheumatic and
other acquired valvular
lesions, prosthetic heart valves, previous history of bacterial
endocarditis, hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy, surgically constructed systemic pulmonary shunts,
mitral valve prolapse with
valvular regurgitation or mitral valve prolapse without valvular
regurgitation but associated with
thickening and/or redundancy of the valve leaflets.
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the
