Eramox 400 mg injection is administered intravenously (IV) or intramuscularly (IM). For IV administration, it should be diluted in an appropriate intravenous fluid and infused slowly over 3-4 minutes or as an infusion over 30-60 minutes. IM administration should be deep into a large muscle.

Amoxicillin is a bactericidal antibiotic. It acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Specifically, it binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located in the bacterial cell wall, which prevents the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains. This leads to impaired cell wall formation, increased osmotic pressure, and ultimately bacterial cell lysis and death.

• •Hypersensitivity to penicillin antibiotics or any component of the formulation.
• •History of severe hypersensitivity reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) to any other beta-lactam antibiotic (e.g., cephalosporins, carbapenems).

Store the powder for injection below 25°C, protected from moisture and light. After reconstitution, the solution should be used immediately or stored as per manufacturer's instructions, typically for a short period (e.g., 6 hours at room temperature or 24 hours in a refrigerator).

In case of overdose, symptoms may include gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), and in rare cases, renal dysfunction, crystalluria, or convulsions. Treatment is largely symptomatic and supportive. Hemodialysis can be used to remove Amoxicillin from the circulation.

Pregnancy Category B. Studies in animals have not shown harm to the fetus. Amoxicillin is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy when clearly needed. It is excreted in human milk in small amounts, generally considered compatible with breastfeeding, but caution is advised.
