Amoxil (Amoxicillin) 250 mg

How Does Amoxil Work?

Amoxicillin disrupts the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for bacterial survival and reproduction. Here’s how it works:

1. Inhibits Cell Wall Synthesis: Amoxicillin binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) in the bacterial cell wall.
2. Weakens Structural Integrity: This weakens the cell wall, causing the bacteria to become fragile.
3. Leads to Cell Death: The weakened bacterial cells burst and die, effectively stopping the infection.

This mechanism targets bacterial cells without affecting human cells, making Amoxil a safe and effective antibiotic for treating bacterial infections.
