Ampicillin Prescription

Ampicillin is a penicillin-like antibiotic prescribed for a wide variety of infections, including:
- Gastrointestinal infections as well as meningitis (inflamed membranes of the spinal cord or brain);
- Gonorrhea;
- Other genital and urinary infections;
- Respiratory infections;

If you are allergic to either penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics in any form, consult your doctor before taking ampicillin. There is a possibility that you are allergic to both types of drug; and if a reaction occurs, it could be extremely severe. If you take the drug and develop:
- Wheezing;
- Sore throat;
- Shortness of breath;
- Fever;
- Diarrhea;
- A skin reaction;
seek medical attention immediately.

Take ampicillin capsules with a full glass of water, a half hour before or 2 hours after a meal.

The oral suspension should be shaken well before using.


Penbritin capsules and injection contain the active ingredient ampicillin, which belongs to a group of antibiotics called penicillins. (NB. Ampicillin is also available without a brand name, ie as the generic drug.) Ampicillin is prescribed to treat infections caused by bacteria. The injection is prescribed to treat more serious infections, or in cases where the drug can't be taken by mouth.

Ampicillin works by interfering with the ability of bacteria to form cell walls. The cell walls of bacteria are vital for their survival. They keep unwanted substances from entering their cells and stop the contents of their cells from leaking out. Amoxicillin impairs the bonds that hold the bacterial cell wall together. This allows holes to appear in the cell walls and kills the bacteria.

Ampicillin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that kills a wide variety of bacteria that cause a wide variety of commonly-occuring infections. Ampicillin may be prescribed to treat infections of the airways, ears, nose and throat. It may also be prescribed to treat urine infections, certain sexually-transmitted infections, and certain infections affecting the blood or internal organs.

To make sure the bacteria causing an infection are susceptible to ampicillin your doctor should take a tissue sample, for example a swab from the throat or skin, or a urine or blood sample.
