This is now less true, but clinically helpful comparisons are still sparse, and over the last five years there has been a remarkable lack of controlled trials comparing the two drugs. Amoxycillin is marketed by Bencard, a subsidiary of Beecham, one of the makers of ampicillin and the sole maker of talampicillin.
