| Properties: |
Fucamox is a combination of two broad spectrum
semi synthetic penicillin: Amoxycillin & Flucloxacillin.
Amoxycillin:
Covers a wide range of Gm-ve microorganisms. Unlike
Ampicillin the absorption of Amoxycillin is not affected by the
presence of food in the stomach. It also produces higher plasma
and tissue concentration than those obtained by the same dose of
ampicillin.
Flucloxacillin (isoxazolyl penicillin ):
Is resistant to
penicillinase enzyme and thus it acts on penicillinase producing
micro-organisms including most Staphylococci.
Flucamox is well
absorbed from the G.I.T with high peak blood levels that last
for more than 8 hours.
