MOXIGRAM TAB

About

Moxigram Tab contains Amoxicillin, a penicillin-class antibiotic widely used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. As a broad-spectrum aminopenicillin, Amoxicillin works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, leading to the lysis and death of susceptible bacteria. Its effectiveness extends to many gram-positive and some gram-negative organisms. Amoxicillin is well-absorbed orally and is a cornerstone in the treatment of common infections, including those affecting the respiratory tract, urinary tract, and skin. It is generally well-tolerated and has a long history of safe and effective use in both adults and children.
