Abstract:

Ampicillin (am" pi sil' in) is an oral, third generation penicillin that is one of the most commonly used antibiotics worldwide. Ampicillin has been available in the United States since the mid-1960s and continues to be widely used for bacterial infections in both children and adults. Ampicillin is indicated for mild-to-severe upper respiratory tract infections caused by susceptible agents, such as (but not limited to) Escherichia coli, Hemophilis influenzae, Listeria monocytogenesis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Proteus mirabilis, Salmonella, Shigella, Staphylococcus aureus (non-penicillinase producing), Staphyloccocus epidermidis, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Ampicillin is also used for pneumonia, meningitis, endocarditis and uncomplicated gonorrhea. Ampicillin is available orally in multiple generic formulations as capsules of 250 and 500 mg and is usually given in doses of 250 to 500 mg every 6 to 8 hours for 7 to 14 days. Ampicillin is also available in parenteral form (intramuscular and intravenous) and recommended doses are 2 to 4 grams daily in divided doses given every 4 to 6 hours.
