*6.1.2.2.1 Amoxicillin*

Even if administered with meals through GIS amoxicillin is absorbed faster and almost completely and has fewer side effects compared to ampicillin. It is an acid resistant ampicillin derivative and administered at a dose of PO; 25-50 mg/kg/day (every 8 hours) (Longo et al, 2002).

In a study where Feder and his friends (1999) compared the effects of Amoxicillin and Penicillin V it has been found out that amoxicillin does better than penicillin V in the treatment of angina caused by group a beta-hemolytic streptococcus (Feder et al, 1999).
