AMOXYCILLIN - 200 MG + CLAVULINIC  ACID- 28.5 MG

DESCRIPTION

Moxytec Dry Syrup is a combination of (Amoxycillin 200 mg + Clavulanic acid 28.5 mg). Moxytec Dry Syrup (Amoxycillin 200 mg + Clavulanic acid 28.5 mg) is used orally to treat many bacterial infections of the lungs, middle ear, sinuses, skin, teeth, and urinary tract. Amoxycillin interferes with the growth and division process of the bacterial cell wall while Clavulanic acid enhances the activity of Amoxycillin against bacteria. Amoxicillin is a broad-spectrum penicillin-type antibiotic that works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to the destruction of the bacteria. Moxytec Dry Syrup (Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid) is effective against a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Clavulanic Acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, is included in Moxytec Dry Syrup (Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid) combination to protect amoxicillin from being inactivated by beta-lactamase enzymes produced by certain bacteria. This makes Moxytec Dry Syrup (Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid) combination particularly effective against beta-lactamase-producing bacteria, which might otherwise be resistant to amoxicillin alone. Moxytec Dry Syrup (Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid) combination is commonly prescribed for conditions such as respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and sinusitis, providing enhanced antibacterial coverage and helping to treat infections caused by a variety of resistant bacteria.

INDICATION

1. Acute otitis media : Otitis media (AOM), is an infection of the middle ear (the area behind the eardrum), common in infants and young children. Moxytec Dry Syrup (Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid) is used to treat acute otitis media caused by bacteria. Applying a warm, moist washcloth over the infected ear can also help to reduce the swelling of the middle ear along with this medicine.
    
2. Sinusitis : Sinusitis is the swelling of membranes that line your nose and surrounding sinuses (four paired spaces in the head). It is often caused by bacteria and sometimes, viruses and fungi. You may experience a stuffed nose and pain or pressure behind your eyes, nose, cheeks, or forehead. Moxytec Dry Syrup (Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid) is used to treat bacterial sinusitis.
   
   
   
   
   
   
    
3. Lower Respiratory Tract Infection : Moxytec Dry Syrup (Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid)is used to treat the following lung infections:
   
   
   
    
4.  
5.  

• Pneumonia : It is an infection of the air sacs in the lungs (either single or both lungs). It can be bacterial and viral. Moxytec Dry Syrup (Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid) is used to treat pneumonia caused by bacteria. 
   
• Bronchitis : It is the swelling and irritation of bronchial tubes that regulates air passage in the lungs. Moxytec Dry Syrup (Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid) is used to treat bronchitis caused by bacteria. 
   
• Tuberculosis : It is a lung infection caused by bacteria. Moxytec Dry Syrup (Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid) kills this bacteria that is resistant to multiple antibiotics.

4. Skin Infection : Skin and soft tissue infections occur when the bacteria invade the skin and its supporting structures. Moxytec Dry Syrup (Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid) is used to treat all skin infections including abscess caused by bacteria. 

5. Urinary Tract Infection : An infection in any part of your urinary system- the kidneys, bladder, ureters (tubes that propel urine from kidneys to the urinary bladder), or urethra (lower opening of bladder) is called urinary tract infection (UTIs). UTIs are the most common infections in humans and girls/women are at greater risk of getting this infection. UTIs are caused by bacteria and in some cases, viruses or fungi. Moxytec Dry Syrup (Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid) is used to treat urinary tract infections caused by bacteria.

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Amoxicillin (200 mg) : Amoxicillin is a broad-spectrum penicillin-type antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to specific proteins on the bacterial cell wall known as penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). This binding interferes with the final stages of bacterial cell wall synthesis, causing the cell wall to weaken and eventually leading to bacterial cell lysis and death. Amoxicillin is effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including those causing respiratory, urinary, and skin infections.

Clavulanic Acid (28.5 mg) : Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that works by binding to and inactivating beta-lactamase enzymes produced by certain bacteria. Beta-lactamase enzymes break down the beta-lactam ring structure of antibiotics like amoxicillin, rendering them ineffective. By inhibiting these enzymes, clavulanic acid protects amoxicillin from degradation, allowing it to remain active against bacteria that would otherwise be resistant. This enhances the effectiveness of amoxicillin, particularly against beta-lactamase-producing bacteria.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Drug-Drug Interaction : Caution should be exercised when Moxytec Dry Syrup (Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid) is administered in combination with gout medicine (allopurinol, probenecid), blood thinners (warfarin), anticancer, or anti-arthritis drug (methotrexate), and drug to prevent organ transplant (mycophenolate mofetil).

Drug-Food Interaction :  Avoid taking eating high-fat meals as this may make it harder for your body to absorb Moxytec Dry Syrup (Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid).

Drug-Disease Interaction : People affected with liver disease (like jaundice), glandular fever (viral infection with fever and sore throat), or colitis (bowel disease that affects the large intestine, causing irritation, inflammation, and ulcers in the colon) should take Moxytec Dry Syrup (Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid).

PRECAUTION

Moxytec Dry Syrup (Amoxicillin 200 mg + Clavulanic acid 28.5 mg) should be used carefully in children, especially if they have allergies to penicillin or cephalosporins. It should be administered with caution in those with liver or kidney problems. The medication may cause stomach upset, diarrhea, or rash. Always follow the prescribed dosage and complete the full course of treatment.
