Antibiotic Ampicillin

Ampicillin belongs to the group of penicillin-like drugs. This antibiotic is highly efficient in treating of such bacterial infections as bronchitis, pneumonia, urinary, skin and lung infections, food poisoning due to the Salmonella bacteria and many other infections caused by bacteria susceptive to the effect of Ampicillin. It should be mentioned that this antibiotic is of no use for common colds, flu and viral infections in general. Other cases when the antibiotic is active can be determined by the doctor in charge.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers offer us to buy Ampicillin in the form of liquid solution, capsules and drops for oral administration in children. The frequency of intake and dosing schedule depends on the state of your health and the disease you are suffering from. You should follow the recommendations of the doctor: take the medication in recommended dosage as long as it is advised by the healthcare professional. If you stop taking the antibiotic earlier, even when feeling much better, the infection may return even stronger and now Ampicillin can be powerless as the bacteria became resistant.
Do not adjust the dosage and the dosing schedule as overdosing can be very dangerous. Pediatric drops and liquid solution should be properly shaken before mixing it. The drops and liquid solution can be mixed with milk, water, fruit juice and formula milk or just placed on the tongue. Tablets (capsules) should be taken with a glass of water as a whole, not being crushed. Try to buy Ampicillin in the form the medication was recommended.
People, allergic to Ampicillin cannot take the medication, that’s why it is necessary to tell your doctor about this allergy and the allergic reactions experienced after taking penicillin.  Besides, your doctor should know if you are on other medications (both prescription and over-the-counter), including birth control pills and herbal supplements. The medication may cause some troubles if taken by a person with any kind of blood disease, liver or kidney disorders, bronchial asthma, colitis, hay fever or colitis. Pregnant women should take the drug with caution. In case a woman became pregnant while taking Ampicillin, she should inform the doctor about it immediately.
