    Ampicillin

    Uploaded by

    Ivy Ruzol
    Ampicillin is an antibiotic that works by interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis, preventing bacterial multiplication and rendering the cell wall unstable. It is administered orally or by mouth 1 to 2 hours before or after meals in divided doses every 6 hours. Indications include respiratory tract, soft tissue, and bacterial infections caused by susceptible microorganisms. Contraindications include hypersensitivity to penicillins or cephalosporins. Adverse effects include dizziness, fatigue, insomnia, and diarrhea. Probenecid can impair drug excretion while allopurinol increases risk of skin rashes. Nursing responsibilities include instructing patients to take all medication as prescribed and for the full length of time ordered, and to monitor
