Octacillin® WSP
Pharmacological particulars
Pharmacodynamic properties:
The active ingredient, amoxicillin, is a bactericidal antibiotic of the beta-lactam class. It acts by inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Amoxicillin is not resistant to the action of beta-lactamases, which can hydrolyse the molecules causing the beta-lactam ring structure to open, rendering it antibiotically inactive.
