Pentrexyl Ampicillin 500 mg 28 Tabs

Pentrexyl, a systemic antibacterial medication, contains the primary ingredient Ampicillin. This substance is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, hindering their proliferation by disrupting the formation of their peptidoglycan cell walls. Notably, Pentrexyl does not affect bacteria that produce penicillin, nor is it useful against viral infections like the flu or common cold.
The impact of Ampicillin becomes evident within 2 hours of ingestion and does not accumulate in the body, being largely excreted by the kidneys, with 30-40% leaving the body unaltered.

Applications of Pentrexyl

Pentrexyl is utilized to treat bacterial infections across various organs and systems, including:
 

• Respiratory tract infections like pneumonia, lung abscesses, and bronchitis.
• ENT and upper respiratory issues such as acute tonsillitis, otitis media, sinusitis, and pharyngitis.
• Genitourinary disorders like pyelonephritis, cystitis, and urethritis, as well as sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhea and chlamydia.
• Dermatological conditions including abscesses, sepsis, and infected dermatosis.
• Gastrointestinal issues, particularly antibiotic-associated colitis.
• Bone and joint infections, including bacterial arthritis and osteomyelitis.
• Meningitis and bacterial endocarditis.
• Other infections caused by susceptible gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
• Use of Pentrexyl should be cautious in individuals with bronchial asthma, a history of bleeding disorders, and hay fever.
