The action is bactericidal and against most Gram-positive bacteria, but the drug is destroyed by penicillinase. The particular value of ampicillin is its activity against Gram-negative bacteria, especially Haemophilus spp. and various enteric organisms including Salmonella and Shigella.Antibiotic (semisynthetic penicillin) used to treat a wide variety of infections. Adverse effects include nausea, diarrhea, skin rash, and anaphylaxis.An antibiotic used to treat a variety of infections, including those of urinary, respiratory, biliary, and intestinal tracts. It is inactivated by penicillinase and therefore cannot be used against organisms producing this enzyme. It is given by mouth or injection; side-effects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, and some allergic reactions may occur.A semisynthetic penicillin. Trade names include Amcill, Omnipen, Polycillin, and Principen.Ampicillin, a commonly prescribed penicillin medication, is frequently employed in the treatment of cystitis, bronchitis, and ear infections. One common adverse effect associated with its use is diarrhea. It is important to note that some individuals may have an allergic reaction to ampicillin, which can manifest as a rash, fever, swelling of the mouth and tongue, itching, and difficulty in breathing.
