Ampicillin

Ampicillin is an antibiotic used to treat various infectious diseases of the urinary, respiratory tract, liver and gastrointestinal tract. It is ineffective against penicillinase, so it should not be prescribed in cases where the disease is caused by microbes produced by this enzyme. Taken orally or given by injection; possible side effects: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, various allergic reactions may develop. Trade names: Amfipen, Penbritin.

Ampicillin is one of the most common antibiotics used to treat infections of the urinary tract, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract and liver. It is effective against many of the bacteria that cause these diseases. However, it is not always effective against bacteria that produce penicillinase, an enzyme that breaks down penicillins. In such cases, the use of ampicillin may be ineffective.

Ampicillin can be taken by mouth or given by injection. When taken orally, the drug is usually taken once or twice daily depending on the severity of the disease. When administered by injection, ampicillin is administered intravenously or intramuscularly.

Possible side effects when using ampicillin include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and allergic reactions. In rare cases, ampicillin may also cause other side effects such as headache, dizziness, rash and hives.

Trade names of ampicillin may vary depending on the country and manufacturer. Some of these include amphipene and penbritin. Before using ampicillin, you should consult your doctor and follow his recommendations.

The natural causative agent of many infections is microbes that can destroy human cells. Usually all microorganisms are divided into classes and stay there for quite a long time. However, there are bacteria that can quickly produce certain drugs. They are called penicillin-resistant and thanks to their actions, humanity had to come up with completely new antibiotics. These include ampicillin, which has received its second name - ampiox. It belongs to the group of betalactam antibiotics. Thanks to the active components of the drug ampiolicin, it is able to suppress gram-negative bacteria. These are microorganisms such as Proteus, Shigella, Escherichia coli, streptococci, Neisseria, Klebsiella, some viruses and chlamydia. Most of these bacteria live in water. When a person drinks it, it can cause severe poisoning of the body. If microbes develop inside the kidneys, they penetrate the blood vessels and thereby poison the blood. Naturally, in such a situation, a person needs the help of antimicrobial drugs. The antibacterial properties of this drug are explained by the main substance called ampicillin. This chemical compound has a negative effect on the production of plasmids by bacteria. Unlike semisynthetic antibiotics, this drug has no effect on the suppression of the penicillinase enzyme. Semi-synthetic antibiotics disrupt the viability of microbial cell components,
