PHARMACOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION:
A 20.1.2 Penicillins
PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION:
(a) Bacteriology:
(i) Spectrum
Amoxycillin is a penicillinase-susceptible penicillin. Amoxycillin exhibits in vitro, bactericidal activity against a wide range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms including:
Gram-positive, bacteria Gram-negative bacteria
Staphylococcus, aureus (penicillin*-sensitive) Neisseria gonorrhoea*
Streptococcus, pyogenes Neisseria meningitidis
Streptococcus, viridans* Haemophilus influenzae**
Streptococcus, faecalis Bordetella pertussis
Diplococcus, pneumoniae* Escherichia coli*
Corynebacterium, species* Salmonella typhi
Clostridium, species* Salmonella species
Bacillus, anthracis* Shigella species
Proteus, mirabilis
Brucella, species
* Sensitivity, tests must be performed,
** except, type b-strains causing meningitis in children.
(ii) Bactericidal Action
Amoxycillin exerts a rapid bactericidal activity at normal dosage levels against all susceptible organisms.
(b) Absorption
Amoxycillin, is extremely well absorbed orally. A single 250 mg oral dose achieves an average peak serum level virtually equal to that achieved by IM injection viz. 5,3 µg/mL oral and 5,6 µg/mL IM. The peak serum level is achieved within 1,5 ––2 hours after oral and 15 minutes after IM or IV administration.
After oral, administration, there is no significant difference between the peak serum levels in fasting and non-fasting subjects. The presence of food does not interfere with the absorption of Amoxil. Amoxil may, therefore, be taken with meals.
There is a, linear/dose response in peak serum levels after both oral and parenteral administration.
(c) Distribution
(i) Sputum: The, concentration of amoxycillin in sputum does not decrease as occurs with ampicillin as purulence subsides.
(ii) Bile: Amoxil, is present in bile obtained from a common bile duct drain of a healthy gall-bladder, however, biliary levels are lower when the gall-bladder is diseased and absent in the presence of biliary tract obstruction.
(iii) Urine: the average, concentration of Amoxil in urine collected during the first six hours after 250 mg oral dose, is 580 mg/mL.
(d) Excretion,
(i) Renal: Approximately 60% of an oral dose of Amoxycillin is excreted unchanged in the active form into the urine within six hours. Approximately 70% - 80% of an intramuscular dose and 90% of an intravenous dose is excreted unchanged in the active form, into the urine within 12 hours.
(ii) Biliary: A variable percentage of Amoxil is excreted into the bile.
(e) Probenecid,
Even higher, Amoxil serum levels may be achieved, after oral administration to patients with normal renal function, by the simultaneous administration of a renal blocking agent such as probenecid. Probenecid should not be given in the presence of abnormal renal function. No data on the effect of probenecid on parenteral Amoxil are yet available.
INDICATIONS:
Infections, caused by susceptible, non-penicillinase-producing, organisms including:
Upper, respiratory tract infections Lower respiratory tract infec,tions
Otitis media Typhoid Fever
Upper urinary tract infections, Lower urinary tract, infections
Skin and soft tissue infections, Gastro-intestinal, tract infections
Gonorrhoea Non-specific urethritis,
CONTRA-INDICATIONS:
Allergy, to penicillins or any of the cephalosporins, is an absolute contra indication, to the use of Amoxil.
WARNINGS:
Serious, and occasionally fatal hypersensitivity, (anaphylactoid) reactions have been reported in patients on penicillin therapy. Although anaphylaxis is more frequent following parenteral therapy, it has occurred in patients on oral penicillins. Before commencing therapy with any penicillin, careful inquiry should be made concerning previous hypersensitivity reactions to penicillins, cephalosporins, or other allergies.
If an allergic reaction occurs, appropriate therapy, should be instituted, and amoxycillin therapy discontinued.
There is insufficient evidence at present to show that Amoxil penetrates into the cerebro-spinal fluid in therapeutic quantities and it should, therefore, not be used in the treatment of cerebro-spinal infections.
DOSAGE AND DIRECTIONS, FOR USE:
The average adult dose, for Amoxil is 750 mg ––1,5 g/day, but in serious infections up to 6 g daily has been administered.
(a) General dosages:
(i) Oral
Adults: 250 mg =( 1 x 250 mg capsule or 5 mL of 250 mg/5 mL syrup) three times a day.
*Children 2 ==10 years: 125 mg (5 mL of 125 mg/5 mL syrup) three times a day.
*Children 6 months ––2 years: 125 mg (one full pipette of paediatric suspension or 5 mL of 125 mg/5 mL syrup) three times a day.
*Infants 0 ==6 months: 62,5 mg (half pipette measure of paediatric suspension) three times a day.
*Premature, infants 1,0 ––2,5 kg: 30,0 ––62,5 mg (quarter to half pipette measure of paediatric suspension) once daily for the first 1 ––2 weeks depending on the size and maturity of the infant, thereafter dose may be given 2 ––3 times daily.
In severe infections these dosages may be increased.
(ii) Parenteral
Adults: Mild to moderate infections: 250 mg ––500 mg IV or IM three times a day.
Severe, infections: 500 mg, ––2 g IV 4 ––6 times a day.
In particularly severe/ infections doses of up to 3 g may be administered by rapid intravenous infusion over a period of 30 minutes. This may be repeated every four hours.
Children 2 ––10 years: Half the adult dose. *
Children up to 2 years: Quarter the adult dose. *
* This should, correspond to a daily, dosage of 35 ––100 mg/kg.
NOTE:
(1) Patients with renal insufficiency may possibly require a reduced dose.
(2) During treatment with high doses of Amoxil particularly by bolus injection an adequate fluid intake and urinary output must be maintained. Indwelling catheters should be checked regularly for potency since at room temperature high urinary concentration of Amoxil may precipitate out of solution.
DIRECTIONS FOR PARENTERAL USE:
On dissolution of the powder, a transient colour change (red to purple) may be seen before a clear solution is obtained. The more concentrated IM solutions will be a pale yellow colour and may show slight opalescence.
Intramuscular injections:
Amoxil by intramuscular injection is always painful. If deemed necessary, the transient pain can be reduced by the use of 0,5% procaine solution as a diluent.
250 mg vial ––add 1,5 mL Water for Injections B.P. and shake vigorously.
500 mg vial ––add 2,5 mL Water for infections B.P. and shake vigorously.
Intravenous Injections:
Normally given as a bolus injection every 30 seconds (half a minute).
250 mg vial ––dissolve in 10 mL Water for Injections B.P.
500 mg vial ––dissolve in 10 mL Water for Injections B.P.
Intravenous Infusion:
3 g should be dissolved in 50 mL, Water for Injections, B.P. and given as a rapid intravenous infusion over 30 minutes (half an hour).
Solutions must be used within half an hour after preparation.
When reconstituted, at the recommended dilutions, sodium, amoxycillin is stable in most commonly used infusion fluids at ambient temperature. It is relatively less stable in solutions containing sugars.
Compatibility:
Amoxil, injections are compatible with commonly, used intravenous fluids including: sodium chloride, Ringer's solution, sodium lactate, compound lactate, 5% dextrose and sodium chloride plus 4% dextrose.
Intramuscular Injection of Amoxil is compatible, with 0,5% procaine solution and with a 1% lignocaine solution.
Incompatibility:
Amoxil should not be added to infusion bottles containing proteinaceous fluids such as protein hydrolysates, intravenous lipid emulsions, blood or plasma.
Specific, dosages: (oral or parenteral)
Indications, Daily Dosages* Duration
Adults Children
Gastro-intestinal, tract infections 1 ––2 g –– 4 ––5 days
Acute Typhoid Fever, 4 g –– 14 days
–– 100 mg/kg 21 days
Gonorrhoea 2 ––3 g –– Stat
* Either oral or, parenteral administration.
SIDE EFFECTS, AND SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS:
Precautions:
Allergic, reactions presenting as a skin rash, pruritus and urticaria have been reported less frequently. Other reactions including angio-oedema, anaphylaxis, erythema multiforma, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and exfoliative dermatitis may occur in exceptional cases. If a skin rash occurs, treatment should be discontinued. In the event of an anaphylactic reaction, immediate treatment with adrenalin, oxygen, corticosteroids and antihistamines should be initiated.
Blood:
Blood, dyscrasias have been reported less frequently. These reactions are usually reversible on discontinuation of therapy and are believed to be hypersensitivity phenomena.
Liver:
A moderate rise in SGOT and for SGPT has been reported in exceptional cases.
At high doses, of parenteral Amoxil, caution must be exercised in treating patients with dehydration or oliguria because of the possibility of cristalluria.
The use of this antibiotic, may lead to the appearance, of resistant strains of organisms and sensitivity testing should, therefore be carried out wherever possible, to ensure the appropriateness of the therapy.
Gastro-intestinal, disturbance including diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting have been reported. Pseudo-membranous colitis has been reported, if this condition occurs, treatment should be discontinued and appropriate therapy, e.g. vancomycin, should be initiated.
The dose should be, reduced in patients with renal failure. Periodic assessment of renal, hepatic, and haematopoietic function should be made during prolonged therapy. Prolonged use may also occasionally result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms
Amoxycillin should, preferably not be used in patients with infectious mononucleosis and should also be used with caution in patients glandular fever, lymphatic leukaemia, and patients treated with allopurinol since they are especially susceptible to ampicillin-induced skin rashes.
Due to Amoxycillin,'s effect on intestinal flora, the absorption of other medicine may be affected. Amoxycillin may reduce the efficacy of oral contraceptives and patients should be warned accordingly.
The absorption of, concurrently administered digoxin may be increased during treatment with Amoxycillin.
Caution is needed, when administering Amoxycillin to patients with syphilis, as the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction may occur in these patients
Pregnancy and Lactation:
Animal reproduction studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the foetus. There are no adequate and well controlled studies in pregnant women.
Amoxil, is excreted in breast milk, and should be used with caution when administered to lactating women.
KNOWN, SYMPTOMS OF OVERDOSAGE AND PARTICULARS OF ITS TREATMENT:
If encountered, gastro-intestinal symptoms and disturbance of the fluid and electrolyte balance may be evident. They may be treated symptomatically and supportive with attention to the water/electrolyte balance. In the absence of an adequate fluid intake and urinary output, crystalluria is a possibility and the antibiotic may be removed from the circulation by haemodialysis.
Oral, administration can cause gastro-intestinal symptoms such as transient diarrhoea, nausea and colic which are dose related and a result of local irritation not toxicity.

*Children 2 ==10 years: 125 mg (5 mL of 125 mg/5 mL syrup) three times a day.
*Children 6 months ––2 years: 125 mg (one full pipette of paediatric suspension or 5 mL of 125 mg/5 mL syrup) three times a day.
*Infants 0 ==6 months: 62,5 mg (half pipette measure of paediatric suspension) three times a day.
*Premature, infants 1,0 ––2,5 kg: 30,0 ––62,5 mg (quarter to half pipette measure of paediatric suspension) once daily for the first 1 ––2 weeks depending on the size and maturity of the infant, thereafter dose may be given 2 ––3 times daily.
In severe infections these dosages may be increased.
(ii) Parenteral
Adults: Mild to moderate infections: 250 mg ––500 mg IV or IM three times a day.
Severe, infections: 500 mg, ––2 g IV 4 ––6 times a day.
In particularly severe/ infections doses of up to 3 g may be administered by rapid intravenous infusion over a period of 30 minutes. This may be repeated every four hours.
Children 2 ––10 years: Half the adult dose. *
Children up to 2 years: Quarter the adult dose. *
* This should, correspond to a daily, dosage of 35 ––100 mg/kg.
NOTE:
(1) Patients with renal insufficiency may possibly require a reduced dose.
(2) During treatment with high doses of Amoxil particularly by bolus injection an adequate fluid intake and urinary output must be maintained. Indwelling catheters should be checked regularly for potency since at room temperature high urinary concentration of Amoxil may precipitate out of solution.
DIRECTIONS FOR PARENTERAL USE:
On dissolution of the powder, a transient colour change (red to purple) may be seen before a clear solution is obtained. The more concentrated IM solutions will be a pale yellow colour and may show slight opalescence.
Intramuscular injections:
Amoxil by intramuscular injection is always painful. If deemed necessary, the transient pain can be reduced by the use of 0,5% procaine solution as a diluent.
250 mg vial ––add 1,5 mL Water for Injections B.P. and shake vigorously.
500 mg vial ––add 2,5 mL Water for infections B.P. and shake vigorously.
Intravenous Injections:
Normally given as a bolus injection every 30 seconds (half a minute).
250 mg vial ––dissolve in 10 mL Water for Injections B.P.
500 mg vial ––dissolve in 10 mL Water for Injections B.P.
Intravenous Infusion:
3 g should be dissolved in 50 mL, Water for Injections, B.P. and given as a rapid intravenous infusion over 30 minutes (half an hour).
Solutions must be used within half an hour after preparation.
When reconstituted, at the recommended dilutions, sodium, amoxycillin is stable in most commonly used infusion fluids at ambient temperature. It is relatively less stable in solutions containing sugars.
Compatibility:
Amoxil, injections are compatible with commonly, used intravenous fluids including: sodium chloride, Ringer's solution, sodium lactate, compound lactate, 5% dextrose and sodium chloride plus 4% dextrose.
Intramuscular Injection of Amoxil is compatible, with 0,5% procaine solution and with a 1% lignocaine solution.
Incompatibility:
Amoxil should not be added to infusion bottles containing proteinaceous fluids such as protein hydrolysates, intravenous lipid emulsions, blood or plasma.
Specific, dosages: (oral or parenteral)
Indications, Daily Dosages* Duration

Gastro-intestinal, tract infections 1 ––2 g –– 4 ––5 days
Acute Typhoid Fever, 4 g –– 14 days
–– 100 mg/kg 21 days
Gonorrhoea 2 ––3 g –– Stat
* Either oral or, parenteral administration.
SIDE EFFECTS, AND SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS:
Precautions:
Allergic, reactions presenting as a skin rash, pruritus and urticaria have been reported less frequently. Other reactions including angio-oedema, anaphylaxis, erythema multiforma, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and exfoliative dermatitis may occur in exceptional cases. If a skin rash occurs, treatment should be discontinued. In the event of an anaphylactic reaction, immediate treatment with adrenalin, oxygen, corticosteroids and antihistamines should be initiated.
Blood:
Blood, dyscrasias have been reported less frequently. These reactions are usually reversible on discontinuation of therapy and are believed to be hypersensitivity phenomena.
Liver:
A moderate rise in SGOT and for SGPT has been reported in exceptional cases.
At high doses, of parenteral Amoxil, caution must be exercised in treating patients with dehydration or oliguria because of the possibility of cristalluria.
The use of this antibiotic, may lead to the appearance, of resistant strains of organisms and sensitivity testing should, therefore be carried out wherever possible, to ensure the appropriateness of the therapy.
Gastro-intestinal, disturbance including diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting have been reported. Pseudo-membranous colitis has been reported, if this condition occurs, treatment should be discontinued and appropriate therapy, e.g. vancomycin, should be initiated.
The dose should be, reduced in patients with renal failure. Periodic assessment of renal, hepatic, and haematopoietic function should be made during prolonged therapy. Prolonged use may also occasionally result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms
Amoxycillin should, preferably not be used in patients with infectious mononucleosis and should also be used with caution in patients glandular fever, lymphatic leukaemia, and patients treated with allopurinol since they are especially susceptible to ampicillin-induced skin rashes.
Due to Amoxycillin,'s effect on intestinal flora, the absorption of other medicine may be affected. Amoxycillin may reduce the efficacy of oral contraceptives and patients should be warned accordingly.
The absorption of, concurrently administered digoxin may be increased during treatment with Amoxycillin.
Caution is needed, when administering Amoxycillin to patients with syphilis, as the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction may occur in these patients
Pregnancy and Lactation:
Animal reproduction studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the foetus. There are no adequate and well controlled studies in pregnant women.
Amoxil, is excreted in breast milk, and should be used with caution when administered to lactating women.
KNOWN, SYMPTOMS OF OVERDOSAGE AND PARTICULARS OF ITS TREATMENT:
If encountered, gastro-intestinal symptoms and disturbance of the fluid and electrolyte balance may be evident. They may be treated symptomatically and supportive with attention to the water/electrolyte balance. In the absence of an adequate fluid intake and urinary output, crystalluria is a possibility and the antibiotic may be removed from the circulation by haemodialysis.
Oral, administration can cause gastro-intestinal symptoms such as transient diarrhoea, nausea and colic which are dose related and a result of local irritation not toxicity.
