    Drug Study Ampicillin

    Uploaded by

    Christine Nocomura
    Ampicillin is an antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections like urinary tract infections and respiratory infections. It works by preventing bacteria from forming cell walls needed for survival. Potential adverse effects include gastrointestinal issues, allergic reactions, and rare cases of seizures or heart failure. It should be used cautiously in patients with kidney problems or allergies to penicillin. Nursing considerations include monitoring for effectiveness, side effects, and signs of superinfection or allergic reaction. The patient should finish the full course unless otherwise instructed and drink plenty of fluids.
