Q

Describe the different characters of broad spectrum pencillin

A

1_Ampicillin: orally
low bioavailability, but enough for action.
short half life 6 hours.
absorption decrease with food

2_Amoxacillin: orally
better absorption 
not affected by food 
longer half life 8 hours 
therapeutic index is wide, less toxicity. 
50 mg /kg/day.
