Amoxicillin

Function and Efficacy

Amoxicillin is a semi-synthetic broad-spectrum penicillin drug. Its antibacterial spectrum and antibacterial activity are basically the same as those of ampicillin, but its acid resistance is stronger than that of ampicillin. Its bactericidal effect is stronger and faster than that of the latter, but it cannot be used to treat meningitis. The half-life is about 61.3 minutes. Amoxicillin is stable under acidic conditions, and its gastrointestinal absorption rate reaches 90%, which is faster and more complete than that of ampicillin. Except for its poor effect on Shigella, the other effects are similar.
