Amoxicillin was synthesized by Beecham Research Laboratories in 1968. A hydroxyl group was introduced on the benzene ring of ampicillin. Amoxicillin shows about a twofold higher serum concentration than ampicillin when administered orally. It was shown by double-blind comparative studies with ampicillin that amoxicillin was as effective as ampicillin when administered at half the dose of ampicillin.
