DESCRIPTION 
Amoxycillin trihydrate is a white or almost white, crystalline
powder, slightly soluble in water and in 
alcohol. 

Amoxycillin trihydrate is a semisynthetic antibiotic and is a member
of the penicillinase-stable group of 
penicillins derived from the penicillin nucleus, 6-aminopenicillanic
acid, isolated at Beecham Research 
Laboratories.  

PHARMACOLOGY 
PHARMACOKINETICS 
Amoxycillin is stable in the presence of gastric acid and is rapidly
and well absorbed after oral 
administration, even in the presence of food. Amoxycillin diffuses
rapidly into most body tissues and 
fluids, with the exception of brain and spinal fluid except when the
meninges are inflamed. Amoxycillin 
has been shown to diffuse into sputum and saliva and is excreted
mainly via the urine where it exists 
in a high concentration.   

The amount to be found in the bile is variable depending on normal
biliary secretory function. 

The half-life of amoxycillin is 61.3 minutes with normal renal
function, and in the absence of renal 
function is 16 to 20 hours. 

Amoxycillin is excreted in the urine both unchanged and as
penicilloic acid.  About 75% of a 1 g dose 
is excreted in the urine in six hours in the presence of normal renal
function (60% is biologically active 
and 15% is penicilloic acid).  However about 32% of a 3 g dose is
excreted via the urine as the 
biologically active component in 8 hours (by which time most of the
urinary excretion is complete).
