Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

Amoxicillin is an aminobenzyl penicillin, a semisynthetic broad-spectrum antibiotic that has a bactericidal effect due to inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) thresholds for different sensitive microorganisms vary. The prevalence of resistant strains varies geographically and over time, so it is advisable to rely on local resistance information, especially when treating severe infections.

Pharmacokinetics

Suction

Absorption is fast, high (93%), food intake does not affect absorption, and is not destroyed in the acidic environment of the stomach. When taken orally at a dose of 250 mg and 500 mg, the maximum concentration in blood plasma is 5 mcg/ml and 10 mcg/ml, respectively. The time to reach maximum concentration after oral administration is 1-2 hours.

Distribution

It has a large volume of distribution - high concentrations are found in blood plasma, bronchial secretions (in purulent bronchial secretions the distribution is weak), liver, lymph nodes, uterus, ovaries, paranasal sinuses, pleural and peritoneal fluid, saliva and tear fluid, urine, contents of skin blisters , lung tissue, intestinal mucosa, middle ear fluid and paranasal sinuses, bones, adipose tissue, gall bladder (the concentration in bile is 10 times higher than the concentration in blood plasma - with normal patency of the bile ducts), fetal tissues. When the dose is doubled, the concentration also doubles. In the amniotic fluid and umbilical cord vessels, the concentration of amoxicillin is about 50% of the concentration in the blood plasma of a pregnant woman. It penetrates poorly through the blood-brain barrier; with inflammation of the meninges (meningitis), the concentration in the cerebrospinal fluid increases to 20% of the concentration in the blood plasma. Bonding with blood plasma proteins is 15-25%.

Metabolism

Partially (10-20%) is metabolized to form inactive metabolites.

Removal

The half-life (T1/2) is 1-1.5 hours. It is excreted 50-70% unchanged by the kidneys through tubular excretion (80%) and glomerular filtration (20%), and 10-20% by the liver. A small amount is excreted in breast milk. If renal function is impaired (creatinine clearance [CC] ≤ 15 ml/min), T1/2 is extended to 8.5 hours.

Amoxicillin is removed by hemodialysis.

Special patient groups

Age

T1/2 of amoxicillin in children aged 3 months to 2 years is similar to T1/2 in older children and adults.

Since in elderly patients the likelihood of decreased renal function increases, dose selection is carried out with caution, and monitoring of renal function is also necessary.

Floor

When administered orally to healthy men and women, the gender of the patients does not have a significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of amoxicillin.

Kidney failure

The total serum clearance of amoxicillin increases in proportion to the decrease in renal function. If renal function is impaired (creatinine clearance < 15 ml/min), T1/2 lengthens and can reach 8.5 hours in anuria.

Liver failure

In patients with impaired liver function, dose selection should be carried out with caution, and regular monitoring of liver function is necessary.

Indications for use

Infectious and inflammatory diseases caused by microorganisms sensitive to the drug:

  • upper respiratory tract infections (tonsillopharyngitis, sinusitis, acute otitis media);
  • lower respiratory tract infections (acute bacterial bronchitis, exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, community-acquired pneumonia);
  • infections of the genitourinary system (pyelonephritis, pyelitis, cystitis, urethritis, endometritis, cervicitis, gonorrhea);
  • abdominal infections (cholangitis, cholecystitis);
  • eradication of Helicobacter pylori
    in patients with duodenal or gastric ulcers (always in combination with other drugs);
  • infections of the skin and soft tissues (erysipelas, impetigo, secondary infected dermatoses);
  • leptospirosis, listeriosis;
  • Lyme disease;
  • infections of the gastrointestinal tract (enterocolitis, typhoid fever, dysentery, salmonellosis (caused by Salmonella typhi
    , sensitive to ampicillin), salmonella carriage;
  • prevention of bacterial endocarditis during surgical procedures in the oral cavity and upper respiratory tract.

Interaction

In combination with glucosamine , antacids , laxatives, aminoglycosides and food, the absorption of the drug may be reduced.

When taking amoxicillin and ascorbic acid , the absorption of the drug, on the contrary, increases. The same thing happens in the case of combination with bactericidal antibiotics.

Women who combine Amosin with combined contraceptives should take additional contraceptives , for example, barrier ones .

When combined with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, plasma concentrations of amoxicillin .

In case of simultaneous use of the drug with allopurinol, allergic skin reactions may develop.

Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding

Results from animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect effects on reproductive toxicity. Limited data on the use of amoxicillin during human pregnancy do not indicate an increased risk of congenital malformations. Amoxicillin can be used during pregnancy only in cases where the expected benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.

Amoxicillin is excreted into breast milk in small quantities; if necessary, the drug can be used during breastfeeding. A breastfed baby may develop diarrhea, sensitization and fungal infection of the mucous membranes, so it may be necessary to stop breastfeeding. Amoxicillin should be used during breastfeeding only after the attending physician has assessed the benefit/risk ratio.
