What is Ampicillin?
Active Ingredients: Ampicillin
Ampicillin for Oral Suspension is a penicillin antibiotic drug used to prevent and treat certain bacterial infections, such as bronchitis, urinary tract infections, meningitis, peritonitis, salmonellosis, and endocarditis. It may also be used to prevent group B streptococcal infection in newborns.
Ampicillin, like all antibiotics, is not useful for the treatment of viral infections.
Ampicillin is classified as a broad-spectrum, beta-lactam penicillin antibiotic. The active ingredient works by interfering with the action of the penicillin-binding proteins of the bacteria's cell wall. This weakens the cell wall and causes the bacteria to die.
This medication is produced and exported by AdvaCare Pharma. Ampicillin for Oral Suspension is manufactured in our facilities in China, India, and the USA. These production factories are GMP certified and are regularly inspected to ensure they meet health, safety, and environmental standards.
