Moving to the realm of antibiotics, amoxicillin is a widely used active ingredient that belongs to the penicillin class. It is highly effective against a variety of bacterial infections, including ear infections, strep throat, and urinary tract infections. Amoxicillin works by inhibiting cell wall synthesis in bacteria, leading to cell death. However, the rising concern of antibiotic resistance necessitates careful prescribing practices to ensure its efficacy remains intact.
One of the most significant trends in the API industry is the increasing focus on biologics. Biologics are complex molecules derived from living organisms, and they often require specialized manufacturing processes. This shift towards biologics represents both a challenge and an opportunity for API manufacturers.
