Oxamycin Pharmacology
Cycloserine, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, may be bactericidal or bacteriostatic, depending on its concentration at the site of infection and the susceptibility of the organism. Cycloserine works by blocking the formation of these peptidoglycans. By doing this the walls of the bacteria become weak and it results in the death of the bacteria
Oxamycin Absorption
Rapidly and almost completely absorbed (70 to 90%) from the gastrointestinal tract following oral administration.
Oxamycin side effects and Toxicity
