Description
Overview of the medicine
Bilasi 125 mg Oral Solution is an antibiotic medication used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including those affecting the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissues. It contains Amoxicillin as its active ingredient and is primarily indicated for pediatric use.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
This 125 mg oral solution is primarily for pediatric use. Adults typically require higher strengths or different formulations.
Elderly
For elderly patients, especially those with renal impairment, a doctor should determine the appropriate dose. This strength is rarely used in elderly.
Renal_impairment
Dose adjustment is necessary for patients with impaired renal function regardless of age. Consult a physician based on creatinine clearance.
How to Take
Administer orally, usually every 8 hours (three times a day) or as directed by a physician. Can be taken with or without food. Use the provided measuring device for accurate dosing.
Mechanism of Action
Amoxicillin works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to bacterial lysis and death. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Within 30-60 minutes
Excretion
Primarily via the kidneys (renal excretion) in urine.
Half life
Approximately 1-1.5 hours in adults with normal renal function
Absorption
Rapidly and well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, not significantly affected by food.
Metabolism
Limited hepatic metabolism, primarily excreted unchanged.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- •History of hypersensitivity to penicillin antibiotics or any component of the formulation.
- •History of severe immediate hypersensitivity reaction to another beta-lactam agent (e.g., cephalosporin, carbapenem).
Drug Interactions
Probenecid
Increases and prolongs plasma levels of Amoxicillin by reducing renal tubular secretion.
Methotrexate
May increase methotrexate toxicity; monitor levels.
Oral Contraceptives
May reduce efficacy of oral contraceptives (rare, but advise additional contraception).
Anticoagulants (e.g., Warfarin)
May prolong prothrombin time; monitor INR closely.
Storage
Store dry powder below 30°C in a cool, dry place, protected from light. Keep reconstituted solution refrigerated (2-8°C) and discard after the specified period.
Overdose
Symptoms may include gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) and disturbances of fluid and electrolyte balance. In severe cases, crystalluria leading to renal failure has been observed. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive; hemodialysis may be used to remove Amoxicillin from circulation.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Generally considered safe for use during pregnancy (Category B). Small amounts are excreted in breast milk; generally considered compatible with breastfeeding, but monitor infant for potential side effects (e.g., diarrhea, rash).
