Apramart 100%
Doppio colineo
W.S.P.
(For Vet. Use)
Composition :
Each 1gm contains:
Amoxicillin 500 mg
(corresponding to 573.88 mg of Amoxicillin trihydrate)
Clavulanic acid 125 mg
(corresponding to 148.88 mg of Potassium clavulanate)
Properties:
The product is a combination of a β-lactam antibiotic with a β¬lactamase inhibitor which restores the potency of amoxicillin against strains producing β¬lactamases.
Amoxicillin is a bactericidal antibiotic, which acts by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls during bacterial multiplication. It inhibits cross-linkage between the linear peptidoglycan polymer chains in the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria as (Clostridium perfringens., Streptococcus suis. ). Broad spectrum penicillin antibiotic amoxicillin is active also against a limited range of Gram negative bacteria as (Pasteurella, E. coli, Salmonella typhimurium). where the outer layer of bacteria cell-wall is made up of lypopolysaccharide and protein.
Clavulanic acid acts as inhibitor of bacterial β-lactamases. It prevents destruction of the β-lactam ring and penicillins by β-lactamase enzymes. The reaction is irreversible and both the enzyme and the clavulanate are destroyed while the antibiotic activity is preserved.
Indications:
- Treatment of clinical infections
- Respiratory tract infections caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida, Streptococcus suis.
- Gastrointestinal infections caused by Clostridium perfringens., E. coli . and Salmonella typhimurium
Target Species:
Pigs
Dosage & route of administration:
