About AmoxycillinSemisynthetic Broad spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic, An aminopenicillin Derivative.Mechanism of Action of AmoxycillinAmoxycillin is a bactericidal drug. It is a Beta lactum antibiotic. It binds to the Penicillin binding protein in the cell wall of bacteria and inhibits the enzyme transpeptidase which is responsible for the transpeptidation reaction in peptidoglycan synthesis. It also activates the endogenous enzyme which degrades the peptidoglycan.These results in inhibition of protein synthesis and there by cell wall synthesis. Amoxycillin is active against gram positive and gram negative bacteria except penicillinase producing once.Pharmacokinets of AmoxycillinAbsorption .It is well absorbed after oral administration. Distribution: It is very widely distributed in the body .Metabolism: In significant metabolism. Excretion: It is excreted mainly through urine and small amount excreted

Clarithromycin
About ClarithromycinIt is a new macrolide antimicrobial drug.It is the most effective macrolide against Haemophilus influenzae, chlamydia trachomaitis and chlamydia pneumoniae.Mechanism of Action of ClarithromycinClarithromycin is a member of macrolide antibiotic.It binds to the 50S sub unit of bacterial ribosome and inhibits translocation.ie:they interfere with the transfer of the newly formed peptide chain from the A site to the P site and fails to expose the A site .So that A site is unable to bind with the next aminoacyl tRNA complex. This leads to premature termination of amino acid chain and there by inhibits protein synthesis.Pharmacokinets of ClarithromycinAbsorption: Clarithromycin is completely absorbed after oral administration. Distribution: It is widely distributed in the body .Metabolism: It is metabolized in to active and inactive compound .Excretion: It is excreted through urine.Onset of Action for Clarithromycin0.5 - 1 hourDuration of Action for Clarithromycin8 - 12 hourHalf Life of ClarithromycinN/ASide Effects of Clarithromycin1.Nausea

About LansoprazoleA proton pump inhibitor, Benzimidazole derivative, Anti ulcer.Mechanism of Action of LansoprazoleLansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor. It is a prodrug. After administration it diffuses in to the parietal cell of the stomach and accumulates in the secretory canaliculi. In the acidic medium Lansoprazole is converted to sulfenamide. This sulfenamide covalently interacts with sulfhydryl (SH) group in the proton pump
(H+ K+ATPase) and inhibits the exchange of extracellular K+ for intracellular H+ ion. Lansoprazole irreversibly inhibits proton pumps activity and decreases gastric acid secretion.
Pharmacokinets of LansoprazoleAbsorption: Lansoprazole is well absorbed after oral administration.Distribution: It is widely distributed in the body in protein bound form.Metabolism: Lansoprazole is extensively metabolised in the liver.Excretion: It is excreted mainly in the faeces and small amount in urine.
