Elvantine by MVS Pharma for children: Amoxicillin is a commonly used antibiotic that belongs to the penicillin class of medications. It works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, preventing them from building the cell walls they need to survive. This makes it effective in treating a variety of bacterial infections. Amoxicillin is generally safe and effective for people of all ages, including children. In fact, it is one of the most prescribed antibiotics for pediatric infections. It is often used to treat common bacterial infections in children.

Amoxicillin is often prescribed in liquid form for children, especially for younger kids who may have difficulty swallowing pills. To make the medicine more palatable, it is common for manufacturers to add flavoring agents, such as strawberry, bubblegum, or citrus flavors. These flavors help mask the naturally bitter taste of the antibiotic, making it easier for children to take the medication without resistance.
Amoxicillin trihydrate is the chemical form of amoxicillin commonly found in many amoxicillin-based medications, including oral suspension and tablets. Amoxicillin trihydrate works by inhibiting the formation of bacterial cell walls, which is a key mechanism in how antibiotics kill bacteria. Mainly the bacterial cell wall is a rigid cell wall that provides structural support and protects them from environmental stresses. The bacterial cell wall is primarily composed of peptidoglycan, a complex polymer made up of sugars and amino acids. Amoxicillin works by interfering with the formation of peptidoglycan. It specifically binds to and inhibits enzymes known as penicillin-binding proteins which are involved in the final stages of cell wall synthesis.
PBPs are essential for cross-linking the peptidoglycan strands, which provide the cell wall with its structural strength and rigidity. By binding to these proteins, amoxicillin prevents the cross-linking process, weakening the bacterial cell wall. Without a functional cell wall, the bacterium becomes unable to maintain its shape or withstand the internal pressure inside the cell. As a result, the bacterial cell undergoes lysis, where the cell wall bursts due to the pressure, leading to the death of the bacterium. This mechanism makes amoxicillin an effective antibiotic for treating a wide range of bacterial infections, thus our product Elvantine is safely administrable for children.
Active Inredients in Elvantine by MVS Pharma
The primary active ingredient is amoxicillin trihydrate but there are also several inactive ingredients that serve various purposes, such as improving the stability, texture, flavor, and shelf life of the product. The main excipients in our formulation are silicon dioxide Aspartame (E 951), Xanthan gum, Sodium benzoate (E211), Tri sodium citrate dehydrate, Colloidal silicon dioxide, Strawberry Flavour 052311 AP0551, and Benzyl alcohol. Most oral suspensions have a limited shelf life after reconstitution (usually 7 to 14 days), so it’s important to discard any leftover medicine after that period.
The safe and correct use of amoxicillin is crucial in treating bacterial infections in children. When used appropriately, it can effectively clear up infections, preventing more serious health problems and helping children recover quickly. Of course, medical guidance is essential to ensure that amoxicillin is used appropriately and that the full course of antibiotics is taken to prevent the recurrence of infections or the development of resistance.

MVS Pharma GmbH will soon be launching an omega-3 dietary supplement onto the European market that has been developed for the highest quality standards in terms of oxidation avoidance and therefore greatest bioavailability. In addition, in vitro studies are currently underway at the University of Ulm, in which Professor Dr. Rüdiger Groß tested a patented mouth and nose spray (Virudol) that can eliminate various flu viruses based on natural substances. In addition, MVS has a wholesale license and has specialized in sourcing much-needed medicines such as Amoxicillin, Salbutamol, etc. from India through its local branch with a focus on local quality and safety testing, compliance with international GMP regulations and the highest quality level of user security (examples of local language brochures, identical units of measurement, batch control and full tracking, etc.).
