Pharmacology
Amoxicillin is a broad spectrum penicillin effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It acts through the inhibition of biosynthesis of the bacterial cell wall and is rapidly absorbed after oral administration.
Interaction
Concurrent use of Aristomox and Probenecid may result in increased and prolonged blood levels of Aristomox. It may also affect the gut flora, leading to lower estrogen reabsorption and reduced efficacy of combined oral estrogen/progesterone contraceptives.
Contraindications
Aristomox is contraindicated in penicillin hypersensitive patients.
SideEffects
- Mild and transient side effects including diarrhea, indigestion, and occasionally rash. Pseudo-membranous colitis has been rarely reported.
PregnancyAndLactation
