Ampicillin for Injection, USP is indicated in the treatment of infections caused by susceptible strains of the designated organisms in the following conditions: Respiratory tract Infections caused by S. pneumoniae (formerly D. pneumoniae ). Staphylococcus aureus (penicillinase and nonpenicillinase-producing), H. influenzae, and Group A beta-hemolytic Streptococci. Bacterial Meningitis caused by E. coli, Group B Streptococci, and other Gram-negative bacteria (Listeria monocytogenes, N. meningitidis ). The addition of an aminoglycoside with ampicillin may increase its effectiveness against Gram-negative bacteria. Septicemia and Endocarditis caused by susceptible Gram-positive organisms including Streptococcus sp., penicillin G-susceptible staphylococci, and enterococci. Gram-negative sepsis caused by E. coli, Proteus mirabilis and Salmonella sp. respond to ampicillin. Endocarditis due to enterococcal strains usually respond to intravenous therapy. The addition of an aminoglycoside may enhance the effe

DESCRIPTION
Ampicillin for Injection, USP the monosodium salt of

[(aminophenylacetyl)amino]-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic
acid, is
a synthetic penicillin. It is an antibacterial agent with a broad
spectrum of bactericidal activity against
both penicillin-susceptible Gram-positive organisms and many common
Gram-negative pathogens.
It has the following chemical structure:
Ampicillin sodium is a white to off-white crystalline powder with the
molecular formula of
C
H N NaO S, and the molecular weight of 371.39. Each vial of Ampicillin
for Injection contains

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Ampicillin for Injection, USP diffuses readily into most body tissues
and fluids. However, penetration
into the cerebrospinal fluid and brain occurs only when the meninges
are inflamed. Ampicillin is
excreted largely unchanged in the urine and its excretion can be
delayed by concurrent administration of
probenecid. The active form appears in the bile in higher
concentrations than those found in serum.
Ampicillin is the least serum-bound of all the penicillins, averaging
about 20% compared to
approximately 60 to 90% for other penicillins. Ampicillin for
Injection, USP is well tolerated by most
patients and has been given in doses of 2 grams daily for many weeks
