Properties:
Magnabiotic is an anti-microbial combination of Amoxicillin & Clavulinic acid.
Amoxycillin:Is a broad spectrum semi-synthetic penicillin against Gram +ve & Gram-ve micro-organisms.
Clavulanic acid:Is a B-lactam structurally related to Penicillins that inactivate B-lactamase enzymes commonly found in micro-organisms resistant to penicillin .
The combination of Amoxycillin / Clavulanic acid extends the antibiotic spectrum of Amoxycillin to include bacteria normally resistant to Amoxycillin & other B-lactam antibiotics. Magnabiotic is well absorbed from G.I.T after oral administration, stable in the presence of gastric acid & may be administered without regard to to meals. About 50-70 % of Magnabiotic is excreted unchanged in urine during the first 6 hours after oral administration . It diffuses readily into most body tissues & fluids & can be detected in middle ear effusion .
