- Antibiotic
Active Ingredients: Ampicillin Trihydrate
Ampicillin Capsules are a penicillin antibiotic drug used to prevent and treat certain bacterial infections, such as respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, meningitis, salmonellosis, and endocarditis. It may also be used to prevent group B streptococcal infection in newborns.
Ampicillin, like all antibiotics, is not useful for the treatment of viral infections.
Ampicillin Trihydrate is classified as a broad-spectrum, semi-synthetic, beta-lactam penicillin antibiotic. The active ingredient works by interfering with the action of the penicillin-binding proteins of the bacteria’s cell wall. This weakens the cell wall and causes the bacteria to die.
