Amoxil (Amoxicillin) 500 mg

How Does Amoxil Work?

Amoxicillin targets and disrupts the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for the bacteria’s survival and reproduction. Specifically, it:

1. Inhibits Cell Wall Synthesis: Amoxicillin binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located within the bacterial cell wall.
2. Weakens Structural Integrity: This interference weakens the cell wall, causing the bacteria to become susceptible to osmotic pressure.
3. Leads to Bacterial Death: The bacteria burst and die due to the compromised cell wall.

Since human cells lack cell walls, amoxicillin specifically targets bacteria without harming human cells, making it an effective and safe treatment.
