Properties

Amoxicillin is a semi-synthetic penicillin

(beta-lactam antibiotic) that inhibits one or

more enzymes (known as penicillin-binding proteins) in the biosynthesis of bacterial peptidoglycan, which is the unifying structural component of the bacterial cell wall. Inhibition of peptidoglycan synthesis leads to a thinning of the cell wall, which subsequently leads to lysis and cell death. Amoxicillin is destroyed by the action of lactamases produced by resistant bacteria, and therefore the spectrum of activity of amoxicillin itself does not include microorganisms that produce these enzymes.

Augmentin is indicated for the treatment of the following infections in adults and children:

Dental infections (eg periodontitis, maxillary

sinusitis, severe dental abscesses with spreading cellulitis) — for tablets 500 mg / 125 mg or 875 mg / 125 mg;
