Ampicillin is a penicillin antibiotic that fights bacteria. Ampicillin is used to treat or prevent many different types of infections such as bladder infections, pneumonia, gonorrhea, meningitis, or infections of the stomach or intestines. Ampicillin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Ampicillin is an antibiotic used to prevent and treat a number of bacterial infections, such as respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, meningitis, salmonellosis, and endocarditis.[2] It may also be used to prevent group B streptococcal infection in newborns.[2] It is used by mouth, by injection into a muscle, or intravenously.[2] Like all antibiotics, it is not useful for the treatment of viral infections. Common side effects include rash, nausea, and diarrhea.[2] It should not be used in people who are allergic to penicillin.[2] Serious side effects may include Clostridium difficile colitis or anaphylaxis.[2] While usable in those with kidney problems, the dose may need to be decreased.[2] Its use during pregnancy and breastfeeding appears to be generally safe.
