Cyclapen-W Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

A cyclohexylamido analog of penicillanic acid.

Cyclapen-W, a penicillin, is a cyclohexylamido analog of penicillanic acid. Cyclapen-W is more resistant to beta-lactamase hydrolysis than ampicillin, is much better absorbed when given by mouth and, as a result, the levels reached in the blood and in the urine are considerably higher than those obtained with the same dose of ampicillin. Cyclapen-W has been replaced by newer penicillin treatments.

How Cyclapen-W works

The bactericidal activity of cyclacillin results from the inhibition of cell wall synthesis via affinity for penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). Cyclapen-W is stable in the presence of a variety of b-lactamases, including penicillinases and some cephalosporinases.
