Is a beta-lactam antibiotic, specifically a penicillin-derivative.
Treatment of infections caused by susceptible bacteria, including respiratory tract infections (e.g., pneumonia, bronchitis), urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and certain types of gastrointestinal infections.
Prophylaxis (prevention) of bacterial endocarditis (infection of the heart valves) in patients undergoing certain dental or surgical procedures.
Roscillin 250mg Susp (Ampicillin) inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). This prevents the formation of peptidoglycan, a crucial component of the bacterial cell wall, leading to bacterial cell lysis and death.
