Indications

Navamox Capsule 500 mg is indicated for:

Mechanism of Action

Amoxicillin works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), preventing the formation of peptidoglycan, an essential structural component of the bacterial cell wall. This leads to weakening of the bacterial wall and ultimately bacterial cell death.
