REMEDYREPACK INC.
----------
AMPICILLIN CAPSULES, USP
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the
effectiveness of ampicillin and
other antibacterial drugs, ampicillin should be used only to treat or
prevent infections that are proven or
strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria.
DESCRIPTION
Ampicillin trihydrate is a semisynthetic penicillin derived from the
basic penicillin nucleus, 6-
aminopenicillanic acid. Ampicillin is designated chemically as (2S, 5
_R_, 6 _R_)-6-[( _R_)-2-Amino-2-
phenylacetamido]-3,3- dimethyl-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo [3.2.0]
heptane-2- carboxylic acid. Its
structural formula is:
Ampicillin Capsules, USP for oral administration provide ampicillin
trihydrate equivalent to 250 mg and
500 mg ampicillin. Inactive ingredients: black iron oxide, gelatin,
magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide,
shellac, propylene glycol, ammonium hydroxide, and potassium
hydroxide.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Ampicillin is bactericidal at low concentrations and is clinically
effective not only against the gram-
positive organisms usually susceptible to penicillin G but also
against a variety of gram-negative
organisms. It is stable in the presence of gastric acid and is well
absorbed from the gastrointestinal
tract. It diffuses readily into most body tissues and fluids; however,
penetration into the cerebrospinal
fluid and brain occurs only with meningeal inflammation. Ampicillin is
excreted largely unchanged in
the urine; its excretion can be delayed by concurrent administration
of probenecid which inhibits the
renal tubular secretion of ampicillin. In blood serum, ampicillin is
the least bound of all the penicillins;
an average of about 20 percent of the drug is bound to plasma proteins
as compared to 60 to 90 percent
of the other penicillins. The administration of 500 mg dose of
ampicillin capsules results in an average
peak blood serum level of approximately 3.0 mcg/mL.
MICROBIOLOGY
Mechanism of Action
Ampicillin is similar to penicillin in its bactericida
