Medicinal Benefits

Maitrimox Dry Syrup contains amoxicillin. It is a broad-spectrum penicillin-type antibiotic that acts against both aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (grow in the absence of oxygen) bacteria. Maitrimox Dry Syrup is used in the treatment of several bacterial infections in children. Maitrimox Dry Syrup works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) and causing damage to the bacterial cell wall. This eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell and thus prevents the growth of bacterial infections.
