Amoxycillin Trihydrate IP equivalent to Amoxycillin 100 mg Description Amoxycillin is a semi synthetic penicillin which exerts its bactericidal action by inhibition of cell wall synthesis. It acts against a broad spectrum of gram positive and gram negative microorganisms. Indications RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS GENITO URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS SKIN AND SOFT TISSUE INFECTIONS ENTERIC INFECTIONS Bacterial diarrhoea, bacillary dysentery, shigellosis, salmonellosis, typhoid and paratyphoid fevers and carriers, cholecystitis and cholangitis. DENTAL INFECTIONS Post oro surgical and periodontal procedures. Dosage and Administration In all infections except gonorrhoea Adults and children 20 kgs or more 250 500 mg thrice daily at equal intervals. Children under 20 kgs 20-40 mg/kg/day eight hourly in divided doses. Gonorrhoea Single dose of 3 grams. In impaired renal function Dosage adjustments are required for patients with renal impairment or for patients undergoing haemodialysis. A dose of 250 500 mg every 16 24 hours is suggested for adults with creatinine clearance less than 30 ml/minute. A supplementary dose of 250 mg after every dialysis and maintenance dose of 250 500 mg every 16 24 hours is suggested for patients undergoing haemodialysis. Contraindications Hypersensitivity reactions to penicillins. Warnings and Precautions DRUG INTERACTIONS Allopurinol: A significant increase in skin rashes is observed when allopurinol and ampicillin are given concurrently. A similar interaction can occur with amoxycillin. Bacteriostatic drugs like chloramphenicol, erythromycin and tetracyclines may reduce the bactericidal action of amoxycillin. PREGNANCY The drug can be used safely throughout pregnancy at the normal adult doses. NURSING MOTHERS Amoxycillin is secreted into breast milk in small amounts. The potential risk is for sensitisation and skin rash in the child. Side Effects As with penicillins, adverse reactions to amoxycillin are generally those related to allergic response. These are more common in patients with a previous history of penicillin allergy or asthma, hay fever or urticaria. Reversible hyperactivity, agitation, anxiety, insomnia, confusion, behavioural changes and dizziness have been reported rare Presentation
