Description

Amoxicillin 500 mg capsules are a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. As a member of the penicillin class of antibiotics, amoxicillin works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. It is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Each capsule contains 500 mg of amoxicillin in a stable oral formulation, designed for systemic absorption after ingestion. Amoxicillin is widely used due to its broad-spectrum activity, good oral bioavailability, and generally mild side effect profile. The product is packaged in a bottle containing 100 capsules, making it convenient for extended courses of therapy when required.

Amoxicillin is absorbed rapidly from the gastrointestinal tract, with peak plasma levels occurring within 1-2 hours after administration. It is excreted primarily by the kidneys, making dose adjustments necessary for patients with renal impairment. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and rash.
