Demoxil DS Suspension 250 mg/5 ml contains Amoxicillin Trihydrate 250 mg per 5 ml, a higher-strength pediatric antibiotic formulation designed for the effective treatment of moderate bacterial infections. This double-strength (DS) suspension is ideal for children who require a higher dose of amoxicillin in a convenient and easy-to-administer liquid form.

Amoxicillin is a broad-spectrum, bactericidal antibiotic belonging to the penicillin class. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. By binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), amoxicillin prevents the formation of peptidoglycan, an essential component of the bacterial cell wall. This results in weakening of the bacterial structure and eventual destruction of the organism. Demoxil DS Suspension provides reliable activity against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria responsible for common pediatric infections.
