Storage and disposal

Dosage

Overdose

Missed a Dose

Your doctor will schedule your injections. If you miss a scheduled dose, contact your doctor or healthcare facility to reschedule.

How does this medicine work?

Ampicillin kills bacteria by disrupting their cell wall formation. Some bacteria produce an enzyme called beta-lactamase that destroys ampicillin before it can work. Sulbactam blocks this enzyme, allowing ampicillin to work effectively against these resistant bacteria.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Inform your doctor about all other medicines you are taking. Some medicines may affect how this antibiotic works. In particular, oral contraceptives may be less effective while taking this antibiotic.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects ampicillin from being destroyed by bacteria. This allows ampicillin to work against bacteria that would otherwise be resistant, making the combination more effective.
No. Ampicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic and should not be used if you have a penicillin allergy. Inform your doctor so they can prescribe a safe alternative.
Most infections begin to improve within 24-48 hours of starting treatment. However, you should complete the full course as prescribed by your doctor, even if you feel better, to prevent the infection from returning.
