Hagimox 500mg (10 blisters x 10 capsules/box)
Hagimox 500mg contains the active ingredient amoxicillin which is a penicillin antibiotic. Amoxicillin is an aminopenicillin, stable in gastric acid, has a broader spectrum of activity than benzylpenicillin, particularly against Gram-negative bacilli. The bactericidal effect of amoxicillin is by interfering with the biosynthesis of the bacterial cell wall mucopeptide. Amoxicillin is active against most of Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms: Streptococci, non-penicillinase producing Staphylococci, H. influenzae, Diplococcus pneumoniae, N. gonorrheae, E. coli and Proteus mirabilis. Amoxicillin is not active against penicillinase-producing strains, especially to methicillin-resistant Staphylococci, all strains of Pseudomonas and most of Klebsiella and Enterobacter strains. Amoxicillin has been reported to be more active in vitro than ampicillin against Enterococcus faecalis and Salmonella spp. but less active against Shigella spp.. The spectrum of activity of amoxicillin may be extended by the concomitant use of sulbactam and clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin combined with clavulanic acid (16.8%) is reported to be resistant to E. coli.
