Drug Mechanism: How does Trimox work?

Trimox works by interfering with the ability of bacteria to form cell walls. The cell walls of bacteria are vital for their survival. They keep unwanted substances from entering their cells and stop the contents of their cells from leaking out. Trimox impairs the bonds that hold the bacterial cell wall together. This allows holes to appear in the cell walls and kills the bacteria.

Trimox is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that kills a wide variety of bacteria that cause a wide variety of commonly-occuring infections.

Trimox may be used to treat infections of the upper or lower airways, skin or soft tissue, or ears.

Trimox may also be used to treat urine infections, certain sexually-transmitted infections, dental infections, and infections affecting the blood or internal organs.

To make sure the bacteria causing an infection are susceptible to Trimox your doctor may take a tissue sample, for example a swab from the throat or skin, or a urine or blood sample.
