Uses

• Treatment and prevention of bacterial infections

Benefits

Amitax 500mg Injection contains an antibiotic that prevents bacteria from growing by interfering with their ability to produce essential proteins. This action helps clear infections such as those affecting the urinary tract, lungs, bones, joints, brain, and blood. Patients often notice improvement within a few days of starting treatment. Following the prescribed dosage and schedule helps maximize the medicine’s benefits.

How to Use

This injection is given by a healthcare professional in a hospital or clinic setting. Do not attempt to self-administer this medication.

Mechanism of Action

Amitax works by targeting bacterial protein synthesis. It binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit of bacteria, disrupting the production of proteins vital for bacterial survival. This leads to the formation of faulty proteins or stops protein synthesis altogether, which prevents bacteria from multiplying and eventually causes their death.
