Pharmacological properties

Amoxicillin is a broad-spectrum bactericidal antibiotic from the group of aminopenicillins. It inhibits the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, inhibits the enzymes transpeptidase and carboxypeptidase, causing a violation of the osmotic pressure in the bacterial cell, which leads to the death of bacteria during their growth. The drug is active against gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms (Streptococcus spp., Pasteurella spp., Haemophilus spp., Bacillus anthracis, Actinomyces spp., Clostridium spp., Corynebacterium spp., Erysipelothrix, Lususiochiacya. ., Moraxella spp., Proteus mirabilis, Salmonella spp.).

The maximum concentration in blood plasma is reached in 1-2 hours after drug administration and remains at therapeutic level within 48 hours. Amoxicillin is practically not metabolized. Excreted mainly in the urine, to a lesser extent in milk and bile.

Betamethasone – belongs to the group of synthetic corticosteroids (hormones of the adrenal cortex), has anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, antiallergic, antiproliferative effect.

Betamethasone suppresses the functions of leukocytes and tissue macrophages. Limits the migration of leukocytes into the area of ​​inflammation. Disrupts the ability of macrophages to phagocytosis, as well as the formation of interleukin-1. Promotes stabilization of lysosomal membranes, thereby reducing the concentration of proteolytic enzymes in the area of ​​inflammation. Reduces capillary permeability due to the release of histamine. Inhibits the activity of fibroblasts and collagen formation.

Betamethasone dipropionate has a prolonged effect due to slow absorption. The bioavailability of betamethasone is approximately 72%, the half-life is 5.6 hours, and 64% is bound to plasma proteins. It is broken down in the liver, excreted by the kidneys and only a small part is excreted in the bile.
