Typical indications include nose, ear, and throat infections, pneumonia, gonorrhoea, bronchitis, gynaecological infections, endocarditis, enteric fever, septicaemia, and meningitis. The active ingredient of the medicine, Ampicillin, effectively treats a variety of bacterial infections by fighting and stopping the growth of many types of bacteria.
Precautions with Ampicillin capsule
Campicillin 500 mg should not be administered to patients with a history of hypersensitivity to certain antibiotics (including penicillin, Ampicillin, and cephalosporins) or other ingredients in the medication.
Bacteriostatic medicines may interfere with the bactericidal action of Ampicillin. Probenecid reduces the renal secretion of the antibiotic medicine.
Concurrent usage of allopurinol during treatment with Ampicillin can increase the likelihood of allergic reactions. Serious and occasionally fatal hypersensitivity reactions may occur in patients receiving beta-lactam antibiotics. It has occurred in patients or oral penicillins. These reactions are more likely to develop in people with a history of beta-lactam hypersensitivity.
Caution should be exercised with patients with kidney insufficiency, and dose adjustment may be required. Care should be taken when treating syphilis. Antibiotic medicine should be avoided in patients with cytomegalovirus, glandular fever, acute and lymphatic leukaemia and HIV, as erythematous rashes are more common.
Caution should be exercised when high doses are used; kidney and liver health should be closely monitored during high-dose and prolonged treatment. Long-term use of an anti-infective may occasionally lead to the development of superinfection.
Pregnancy: When antibiotic treatment is needed, Campicillin may be considered appropriate.
Lactation: Traces of penicillin can be detected in breast milk during lactation. Adequate data on the use of Campicillin during lactation are not available.

- Antibacterials such as Ampicillin are reduced when taken concomitantly with chloroquine.

- Ampicillin may reduce the effectiveness of oral birth control, and patients should be warned of these effects.
- When used along with medicines like probenecid and sulfinpyrazone, the excretion of penicillin is decreased, giving an increased risk of toxicity.
- Absorption of the antibiotic is reduced when taken concomitantly with chloroquine.
- The effectiveness of the oral typhoid vaccine may be reduced when Campicilin is coadministered.
- Antibacterials such as chloramphenicol, tetracycline, and erythromycin may interfere with the action of Ampicillin.
- Allopurinol increases the risk of Ampicillin-induced skin reactions.
