Antimicrobial medication is active against many pathogenic pathogens due to the active ingredient amoxicillin. "Flemoxin 250" has a bactericidal action, that is, it affects the cell walls of the microorganism that caused the disease, which contributes to the death of the bacterium.
Antibiotics of the penicillin series have onea characteristic feature (and "Flemoxin soluteab" is not an exception) - they are destroyed under the action of the enzyme penicillinase.
