GC HANFORD MANUFACTURING COMPANY
----------
AMPICILLIN FOR INJECTION, USP
FOR INTRAMUSCULAR OR INTRAVENOUS INJECTION
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the
effectiveness of Ampicillin and
other antibacterial drugs, Ampicillin for Injection, USP should be
used only to treat or prevent
infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by
bacteria.
DESCRIPTION
Ampicillin for Injection, USP, the monosodium salt of [2S-[2α, 5 α,
6β(S*)]]-6-
[(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:
The molecular formula is C
H N NaO S, and the molecular weight is 371.39. Ampicillin for
Injection, USP contains 2.9 milliequivalents of sodium per 1 gram of
drug. Ampicillin for Injection, USP
is supplied in vials equivalent to 125 mg, 250 mg, 500 mg, 1 gram or 2
grams of ampicillin. It is to be
administered by intravenous or intramuscular routes.
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
without adverse reactions.

susceptibility of most st
