Amoxicillin

• Generic Name: Amoxicillin

• Brand Name: Amoxil

• Classification: Antibiotic, penicillin

• Mode of action: Semisynthetic broad-spectrum penicillin closely related to

ampicillin. Binds to penicillin-binding proteins in the cytoplasmic membranes

of bacteria, thus inhibiting cell wall synthesis. Cell division and growth are

inhibited.

Ciprooxacin

• Generic Name: Ciprofloxacin

• Brand Name: Cipro oral suspension

• Classification: Antibiotic, fluoro#uinolone

Metronidazole

• Generic Name: (etronidaole

• Brand Name: )lagyl

• Classification: *richomonacide, amebicide

• Mode of action: +ffective against anaerobic bacteria and protooa.

Specifically inhibits growth of trichomonae and amoebae by binding to %&A,

resulting in loss of helical structure, strand breaage, inhibition of nucleic

acid synthesis, and cell death.

Penicillin

• Generic Name: enicillin

• Brand Name: ermapen

• Classification: Antibiotic, penicillin

• Mode of action: Binds to penicillin-binding proteins in the cytoplasmic

membranes of bacteria, thus inhibiting cell wall synthesis. Cell division and

growth are inhibited and often lysis and elongation of susceptible bacteria

occur.
