One of the most important discoveries in the history of mankind is the discovery of antibiotics. Starting with penicillin, which saved the lives of millions of people, a group of these drugs continued to grow rapidly. The latest generations of drugs have significantly fewer side effects, but they cope much better with a variety of diseases.
Amoxicillin, a semi-synthetic agent from the penicillin series, stands in a special place among many modern antibiotics. This means that they receive this medicine by combining a natural, natural antibiotic with additional radicals that expand the scope of the substance.
One of its trade names is Amosin. The instruction explains that the medicine is produced by the company Synthesis AKO OJSC, located in Kurgan. However, the medicine has analogues that are made in other countries or in other industries in Russia. These include: Flemoxin Solutab (Netherlands, Russia), Ompamox (Germany, Austria), Grunamox (Germany), Amoxicillin (Russia).
The active substance of all drugs is amoxicillin.
The medicine "Amosin", the instruction informs about it, is a broad-spectrum drug. This means that the substance actively suppresses anaerobic gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including Helicobacter pylori, Neisseria meningitidis, Listeria monocytogenes, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Streptococcus spp, Staphylococcus spp, and other strains.
How fast is Amosin? The reviews of doctors, and those who used the antibiotic, report that the effect is felt within half an hour after administration or administration, and lasts about 8 hours.
"Amosin" is excellent (93%) absorbed, not destroyed by gastric juice. This property of the drug allows you to take it regardless of food intake.
The antibiotic "Amosin", the instruction tells about this in great detail, is available in several dosage forms. In pharmacies are presented: powder for suspension, which is prepared before administration, tablets, gelatin capsules.
The antibiotic is appreciated by specialists for the fact that it can be prescribed to both adults and children.
"Amosin" is usually prescribed for children in suspension. Dosage depends on the age and weight of the child. So, children who have not reached two years old are recommended to take 125 mg of the drug three times a day. Children under 10 years old - 250 mg each.
Dosage for adults depends on the diagnosis and severity of the disease.
What are the diagnoses for treatment with Amosin? The instruction explains that the tool is effective in treating:
- bacterial infections of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary organs, respiratory system;
- abdominal infections;
- soft tissue or skin diseases.
In other words, the medicine can be used for gonorrhea, urethritis, endocarditis, sinusitis, stomach ulcers, leptospirosis and a hundred diseases.
However, do not think that this antibiotic is a panacea. Like all representatives of this group, Amosin has many contraindications and many side effects. If the dosage of the medicine is not chosen correctly, instead of the expected benefit, it can cause irreparable harm to the body.
In particular, an overdose can lead to tachycardia, respiratory arrest, anaphylactic shock, an epileptic seizure, and cause many other, sometimes fatal, effects. That is why, before prescribing this drug, the doctor is obliged to conduct special tests. With their help, he must establish whether Amoxin acts against a specific infection, and whether the patient has an allergy to the drug.
But even in this case, some negative reactions are possible: dizziness, dyspepsia, anxiety, sleep disturbance. Some patients complained that during the course of treatment they experienced depression, a change in taste, and nausea. Malfunctions in the liver sometimes occur.
Needless to say, at the first appearance of negative reactions, you should immediately report them to your doctor. Only he will be able to decide whether the drug should be withdrawn altogether, or whether treatment can continue with other doses.
