🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionThis medicine is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. The bioavailability is approximately 25% when taken with food and about 21% when taken on an empty stomach. The presence of food does not significantly affect the overall absorption, but it may reduce gastrointestinal side effects.

DistributionThis medicine is widely distributed throughout the body. It achieves good concentrations in the respiratory tract, skin, and soft tissues. It also penetrates into the middle ear fluid and sinus secretions. Protein binding is approximately 60-70%.

Protein BindingApproximately 60-70% bound to plasma proteins.

MetabolismThis medicine is not extensively metabolized in the body. It is primarily excreted unchanged in the urine.

Half-LifeThe elimination half-life is approximately 1.7 hours in healthy adults with normal kidney function. In patients with renal impairment, the half-life may be prolonged.

ExcretionThis medicine is primarily excreted unchanged in the urine. About 18-30% of an oral dose is excreted in the urine within 24 hours. It may also be excreted in bile, but this is a minor route.

BioavailabilityApproximately 21-25% after oral administration.

Onset of ActionThe onset of action is typically within 1-2 hours after oral administration, but clinical improvement may take 24-48 hours.

Peak Plasma TimePeak plasma concentrations are achieved approximately 2-4 hours after oral administration.

Duration of ActionThe duration of action is approximately 12-24 hours, depending on the dose and the susceptibility of the bacteria.

How It Works

This medicine works by binding to specific proteins called penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall. This binding inhibits the final step of cell wall synthesis, leading to a weakened cell wall and ultimately causing the bacteria to burst and die. It is bactericidal, meaning it kills the bacteria directly. It is effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis.

Mechanism Steps

1

Binding to penicillin-binding proteins: This medicine binds to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall.

2

Inhibition of cell wall synthesis: By binding to PBPs, it inhibits the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains, which are essential for the strength and rigidity of the bacterial cell wall.

3

Bacterial cell lysis: The weakened cell wall cannot withstand the internal osmotic pressure, leading to cell lysis and death of the bacteria.

Dosage Information

Adult Dosage	The usual adult dose of this medicine is 300 mg taken orally every 12 hours for 5 to 10 days, depending on the type and severity of the infection. For uncomplicated skin infections, a dose of 300 mg every 12 hours for 10 days is common. For community-acquired pneumonia, 300 mg every 12 hours for 10 days is typical. Dose must be individualized by a qualified clinician based on indication, age, weight, renal and hepatic function.
Pediatric Dosage	For children 6 months to 12 years, the dose is based on weight. The usual dose is 7 mg/kg every 12 hours or 14 mg/kg once daily for 5 to 10 days, depending on the infection. For acute otitis media and pharyngitis, a 10-day course is often recommended. Pediatric dosing is not established from available information for infants under 6 months. Consult a pediatrician.
Elderly Dosage	Elderly patients may have reduced kidney function, so dose adjustment may be necessary. The dose should be individualized based on renal function. No specific dose adjustments are recommended solely based on age, but caution is advised.
Renal Impairment	In patients with creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 30 mL/min, no dose adjustment is needed. For CrCl < 30 mL/min, the dose should be reduced. For adults with CrCl < 30 mL/min, the recommended dose is 300 mg once daily. For children with CrCl < 30 mL/min, the dose should be adjusted similarly. Dose must be individualized by a qualified clinician.
Hepatic Impairment	No dose adjustment is necessary for patients with hepatic impairment, as this medicine is not extensively metabolized by the liver.
Maximum Daily Dose	The maximum recommended daily dose for adults is 600 mg (300 mg every 12 hours). For children, the maximum daily dose is 14 mg/kg, not to exceed 600 mg per day.
