Mechanism of Action (How Amoxicillin Works)
Amoxicillin bacteria ke Penicillin-Binding Proteins (PBPs) ko block karti hai.
Ye PBPs bacteria ki cell wall ke liye peptidoglycan layer banate hain. Jab yeh process ruk jata hai:
- Cell wall kamzor ho jati hai
- Bacteria pressure bardasht nahi kar pata
- Bacteria toot kar mar jata hai
Isi liye amoxicillin ek bactericidal antibiotic kehlati hai.

Amoxicillin vs Augmentin: Kya Farq Hai?
Bohat se mareez aksar poochte hain ke Amoxicillin aur Augmentin mein asal farq kya hai aur kaun si dawa zyada effective hai. Dono penicillin antibiotics hain, lekin unka istemal infection ki severity aur type par depend karta hai.
Amoxicillin: Ye ek plain penicillin antibiotic hai jo mild se moderate bacterial infections mein use hoti hai. Misal ke taur par:
- Gale ki kharash (throat infection treatment)
- Ear infection (otitis media)
- Chest infection (bronchitis, pneumonia – selected cases)
- Urinary tract infection (UTI)
- Dental infections jaise abscess ya gum infection
Augmentin: Ye ek combination antibiotic hai jisme Amoxicillin ke sath Clavulanic Acid hota hai. Clavulanic acid un bacteria ke khilaf kaam karta hai jo simple Amoxicillin se resistant hote hain. Isliye Augmentin zyada complex ya resistant infections mein doctor ke baghair prescribe ki jati hai.
Tip: Har mild bacterial infection ke liye plain Amoxicillin sufficient hoti hai, lekin agar pehle Amoxicillin se infection control na ho to Augmentin prefer ki jati hai.
Missed Dose Aur Overdose – Safety Guidelines
Antibiotics ka course complete karna bohot zaruri hai. Galat use se antibiotic resistance barh sakta hai aur future infections treat karna mushkil ho jata hai.
