DOXYCYCLINE ACTION MECHANISM Central action mechanism of Doxycycline is through inhibition of protein synthesis terminating translation process. As a result, Doxycycline slows down bacterial growth thereby allowing body’s immune system to destroy infecting bacteria. DOXYCYCLINE DOSAGE Doxycycline should be taken as exactly prescribed by..

AMOXICILLIN ACTION MECHANISM Amoxicillin binds to penicillin-binding protein 1A (PBP-1A) located inside bacterial cell wall. Amoxicillin's action mechanism involves inhibition of third stage bacterial cell wall biosynthesis thereby preventing peptidoglycan cross-linking. Inability to synthesize cell wall leads to lyses of bacteria. AMOXICIL..

AMPICILLIN ACTION MECHANISM Ampicillin binds to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside cell wall of bacteria, thereby inhibiting third or last stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis through autolysins. AMPICILLIN DOSAGE Take Ampicillin dosage as exactly prescribed by your health care professional. It is available in ..

AUGMENTIN ACTION MECHANISM Augmentin inhibits cross-linkage of linear peptidoglycan polymer chain, which is major component of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria cell walls. Hence, Augmentin inhibits bacterial call wall synthesis. AUGMENTIN DOSAGE Take Augmentin dosage as exactly prescribed by your doctor and with a glass ful..

ZITHROMAX ACTION MECHANISM Zithromax prevents bacterial protein synthesis by interfering with their growth. Zithromax acts by binding to 50S subunit of bacterial ribosome thereby inhibiting mRNA translation in bacteria. ZITHROMAX DOSAGE Zithromax dosage depends on clinical condition and medical history of patient and can be taken with o..

CIPRO ACTION MECHANISM Cipro acts by inhibiting DNA gyrase(a type II topoisomerase) and topoisomerase IV enzymes necessary for bacterial DNA separation, thereby inhibiting cell division and stopping bacterial growth. CIPRO DOSAGE Take Cipro dosage as recommended by your health care professional. Cipro is usually taken with or without me..

CLEOCIN ACTION MECHANISM Cleocin is bacterial protein synthesis inhibitor and works by ceasing bacterial growth and reproduction. Cleocin attacks bacterial RNA thereby preventing formation of proteins. As a result, it stops spreading of infection, resulting in bacterial death. CLEOCIN DOSAGE Cleocin is oral medication and usually recommended 3-4 ti..

FLAGYL ACTION MECHANISM Flagyl contains Metronidazole as active component which is selectively absorbed by anaerobic bacteria and sensitive protozoa. Flagyl metabolites are taken up into bacterial DNA, and form unstable molecules resulting in inactivation of various bacterial enzymes and fragmentation of bacterial DNA. FLAGYL DOSAGE Fla..

CLARITHROMYCIN ACTION MECHANISM Mechanism of action of Clarithromycin includes binding to 50S ribosomal subunit of bacteria thereby inhibiting peptide translocation. Hence, Clarithromycin interferes with bacterial protein synthesis preventing bacterial growth. CLARITHROMYCIN DOSAGE Depending upon medical condition and clinical history, ..

ERYTHROMYCIN ACTION MECHANISM Erythromycin acts by inhibiting protein synthesis and various subsequent structural and functional processes critical for life or replication. Thus, Erythromycin slows down the growth or sometimes kills sensitive bacteria. ERYTHROMYCIN DOSAGE Erythromycin is usually recommended for every 6 hours (four times..

LEVAQUIN ACTION MECHANISM Mechanism of action of Levaquin involves inhibition of DNA gyrase (bacterial topoisomerase II), which is an enzyme necessary for DNA replication, transcription, repair and recombination. LEVAQUIN DOSAGE Levaquin should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually recommended with a glass of water and wi..

ROXITHROMYCIN ACTION MECHANISM Roxithromycin acts by binding to 50S subunit of bacterial ribosome, thereby inhibiting translocation of peptides. As a result, Roxithromycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, preventing bacterial growth. ROXITHROMYCIN DOSAGE Roxithromycin is an oral medication and its dosage for adults is 150 mg twice ..

ZYVOX ACTION MECHANISM Zyvox acts by selectively inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis through binding to bacterial ribosomal sites thereby preventing formation of functional 70S-initiation complex, which is an essential component of bacterial translation process. ZYVOX DOSAGE Take Zyvox as exactly prescribed by your health care professional..
