How does Cipmox 500 mg (Amoxicillin) work?
Cipmox 500 Mg works by preventing the growth and replication of bacteria in the body. It does this by blocking the production of a bacterial enzyme called transpeptidase. Transpeptidase is an essential component in the formation of the bacterial cell wall, and without it, the bacterial cell wall becomes weak and eventually collapses, leading to the death of the bacteria. It does not kill the bacteria directly but it stops bacteria from multiplying by preventing them from forming a wall around themselves as bacteria cannot survive without the cell wall. Taken at the proper prescribed dose for the prescribed time it works effectively.
