Novamox Mechanism of Action - How Does Amoxycillin Work?

Novamox (Generic Amoxycillin capsules) is a penicillin antibiotic. Like other antibiotics, Novamox capsules do not actually kill the bacteria but rather obstructs the multiplication of the bacteria by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. Amoxycillin trihydrate damages the molecular bonds that hold the cell wall together. The bacterial cell wall protects the bacteria from the surroundings and helps to maintain the bacterial contents without any damage.
It also protects the bacteria from any foreign invasion. The absence of a cell wall has lethal consequences for the bacteria and the bacterial survival becomes difficult.
Amoxycillin trihydrate exerts its bactericidal effect against a broad range of bacteria such as H. influenzae, N. gonorrhoea, E. coli, Pneumococci, Streptococci, and certain strains of Staphylococci that cause urine infections, certain sexually-transmitted infections, dental infections, and infections affecting the blood or internal organs.

Overdose

In case of overdosage, discontinue medication, treat symptomatically, and institute supportive measures as required. If the overdosage is very recent and there is no contraindication, an attempt at emesis or other means of removal of drug from the stomach may be performed. Interstitial nephritis resulting in oliguric renal failure has been reported in a small number of patients after overdosage with amoxicillin.
Crystalluria, in some cases leading to renal failure, has also been reported after Amoxicillin overdosage in adult and pediatric patients. In case of overdosage, adequate fluid intake and diuresis should be maintained to reduce the risk of amoxicillin crystalluria.
Renal impairment appears to be reversible with cessation of drug administration. High blood levels may occur more readily in patients with impaired renal function because of decreased renal clearance of amoxicillin. Amoxicillin may be removed from circulation by hemodialysis.
