Abbreviated New Drug Application
AMPICILLIN AND SULBACTAM- AMPICILLIN SODIUM AND SULBACTAM SODIUM INJECTION, POWDER, FOR SOLUTION HOSPIRA, INC ---------- AMPICILLIN AND SULBACTAM FOR INJECTION, USP ADD-VANTAGE VIALS RX ONLY TO REDUCE THE DEVELOPMENT OF DRUG-RESISTANT BACTERIA AND MAINTAIN THE EFFECTIVENESS OF AMPICILLIN AND SULBACTAM FOR INJECTION AND OTHER ANTIBACTERIAL DRUGS, AMPICILLIN AND SULBACTAM FOR INJECTION SHOULD BE USED ONLY TO TREAT INFECTIONS THAT ARE PROVEN OR STRONGLY SUSPECTED TO BE CAUSED BY BACTERIA. DESCRIPTION Ampicillin and sulbactam for injection, USP is an injectable antibacterial combination consisting of the semisynthetic antibacterial ampicillin sodium and the beta-lactamase inhibitor sulbactam sodium for intravenous administration. Ampicillin sodium is derived from the penicillin nucleus, 6-aminopenicillanic acid. Chemically, it is monosodium (2S, 5R, 6R)-6-[(R)-2-amino-2-phenylacetamido]-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-4-thia-1- azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylate and has a molecular weight of 371.39. Its chemical formula is C H N NaO S. The structural formula is: Sulbactam sodium is a derivative of the basic penicillin nucleus. Chemically, sulbactam sodium is sodium penicillinate sulfone; sodium (2S, 5R)-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2- carboxylate 4,4-dioxide. Its chemical formula is C H NNaO S with a molecular weight of 255.22. The structural formula is: Ampicillin and sulbactam for injection, USP parenteral combination, is available as a white to yellowish ® 16 18 3 4 8 10 5 dry powder for reconstitution. Ampicillin and sulbactam for injection, USP dry powder is freely soluble in aqueous diluents to yield pale yellow to yellow solutions containing ampicillin sodium and sulbactam sodium equivalent to 250 mg ampicillin per mL and 125 mg sulbactam per mL. The pH of the solutions is between 8 and 10. Dilute solutions (up to 30 mg ampicillin and 15 mg sulbactam per mL) are essentially colorless to pale yellow. The pH of dilute solutions remains the same. Each 1.5 grams ADD-Vantage® vial contains 1.5 g am Read the complete document
