Each Vial contains: Amoxycillin Sodium I.P.: 1.5 gm Cloxacillin Sodium I.P. :1.5 gm
Pharmacology and Mechanism of Action
Beta-lactam antibiotic. Ampicillin inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis. Ampicillin has a narrow spectrum of activity that is similar to that of amoxicillin.
Pharmacokinetics of ampicillin indicated that the half-life is approximately 1- 1.5 hours in most animals. When the trihydrate formulation is injected IM, it produces a lower peak concentration but a longer half-life of 6.7 hours in cattle.
Indications and Clinical Uses
Ampicillin is indicated in patients with infections caused by susceptible bacteria, such as skin and soft tissue infections, UTIs, and pneumonia.
