The drug HELIPAK A contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
|
1
Amoxicillin trihydrate
UNII 804826J2HU - AMOXICILLIN
|
|
Amoxicillin is a semisynthetic penicillin (beta-lactam antibiotic) that inhibits one or more enzymes (often referred to as penicillin-binding proteins, PBPs) in the biosynthetic pathway of bactericidal peptidoglycan, which is an integral structural component of the bacterial cell wall. Inhibition of peptidoglycan synthesis leads to weakening of the cell wall, which is usually followed by cell lysis and death. |
|
2
Lansoprazole
UNII 0K5C5T2QPG - LANSOPRAZOLE
|
|
Lansoprazole is a gastric proton pump inhibitor. It inhibits the final stage of gastric acid formation by inhibiting the activity of H+/K+ ATPase of the parietal cells in the stomach. The inhibition is dose-dependent and reversible, and the effect applies to both basal and stimulated secretion of gastric acid. |

UNII 140QMO216E - METRONIDAZOLE
