Description

How Does Phenoxymethylpenicillin Work?

Phenoxymethylpenicillin is an antibiotic. It works by interfering with bacterial 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. Phenoxymethylpenicillin interferes with the walls, killing the disease-causing bacteria.The drug, therefore, relieves the cough, discomfort, and pain from tonsillitis.
