Potassium Clavulanic Acid is known as a beta-lactamase inhibitor, but only works specifically on the penicillinase enzymes affecting Amoxicillin. Microcrystalline Cellulose is a commonly used excipient that stabilizes Potassium Clavulanic Acid when combined 1:1. The combined product is used in the manufacture of tablets after the addition of Amoxicillin and other excipients.
Beta-lactamases are enzymes produced by bacteria that provide multi-resistance to β-lactam antibiotics such as Amoxicillin. Potassium Clavulanic Acid is known as a beta-lactamase inhibitor, but only works specifically on the penicillinase enzymes affecting Amoxicillin. Thus, when combined with Amoxicillin, the Clavulanic Acid prevents beta-lactamase enzymes from destroying the antibiotic Amoxicillin.
Dicloxacillin is a chlorinated derivative of Oxacillin, meaning it is also a semisynthetic derivative of penicillin used as a narrow-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic. Dicloxacillin is resistant to beta-lactamase (also known as penicillinase) enzymes secreted by many penicillin-resistant bacteria, and is thus used against staphylococci (like Oxacillin).
Mometasone Furoate is an anti-inflammatory synthetic glucocorticoid corticosteroid. It is a prodrug of the free form Mometasone, a medium-potency synthetic corticosteroid.
Cefadroxil is a broad-spectrum 1st generation cephalosporin used as a beta-lactam antibiotic. Cefadroxil is a para-hydroxy derivative of Cephalexin.
Rifampicin is a semi-synthetic antibiotic often used as the 1st line of defense drug for the treatment of tuberculosis. Rifampicin belongs to the Rifamycin group of antibiotics, a subclass of Ansamycins.
Azithromycin is a semi-synthetic Macrolide antibiotic, belonging to the Azalide class. In combination with Ceftriaxone, Azithromycin is part of the CDC recommended regimen for the treatment of gonorrhea.
Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor drug that inhibits gastric acid secretion. It is used for the short-term treatment of erosion and ulceration of the esophagus caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease.
