KEPRO AMOXY-COL WSP 100g

Description

 

DESCRIPTION:

Amoxycillin is a semi-synthetic penicillin with a broad antimicrobial bactericidal activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The range of effect includes: Streptococci, not penicillinase producing Staphylococci, Bacillus anthracis, Corynebacterium spp., Clostridium spp., Brucella spp., Haemophilus spp., Pasteurella spp., Salmonella spp., Moraxella spp., E. coli, Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, Fusiformis, Bordetella spp., Diplococci, Micrococci and Sphaerophorus necrophorus.

The bacterial activity is governed by an inhibition of the formation of the cell. The excretion takes mainly place via the urine and the bile so that amoxycillin is also useful for the treatment of renal- and Salmonella infections in the intra-hepatic billiary tree. Colistin is a cyclic polypeptide antibiotic and has a bactericidal action against selected Gram-negative bacteria. The first bacterial effect of colistin is a blockade of the cell division of bacteria, followed by a secondary progressive lysis. Susceptible bacteria are Aerobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Haemophilus spp., Pasteurella spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Vibrio spp. and paracolon bacteria (MIC values < 5 mcg/ml). Some Pseudomonas species may be primary resistant. Colistin sulphate is hardly absorbed after oral administration (less than 1 % of the administered dose) and therefore remains active only in the gastrointestinal tract.
