Description
One can protect oneself against bacterial infections by avoiding infected people and following the rules of the personal hygiene. But if you have been already infected, it is necessary to take a strong antibiotic as soon as possible. Ampicillin is one of the best antibiotics which neutralizes the symptoms of infection and inhibits bacteria activity.
What is Ampicillin?
Ampicillin is a semi-synthetic antibiotic from the group of penicillins. It provides a bactericidal action to bacteria and inhibits synthesis of the cellular membrane of the microorganisms, so that the cells with microorganisms are destroyed.
The therapeutic effect develops during the use of the high doses of Ampicillin. As a period of half-life of the active ingredients is short, the medicine is used several times per day. The medicine is excreted by kidneys, and therefore patients with kidney diseases should be cautious while taking Ampicillin. Some parts of the antibiotic are discharged with the breast milk, and therefore the medicine is contraindicated during lactation.
A resistance to the action of Ampicillin is quickly developed, and that is why, the medicine should be used strictly according to the recommendations.
