What is Ampicillin and what are its uses?
Ampicillin is a penicillin antibiotic used to treat certain kinds of bacterial infections. It will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections. AMPICILLIN may be used for other purposes; ask your health care provider or pharmacist if you have questions.
How does Ampicillin (Ampisyn) Works (Mechanism) ?
Ampicillin's mode of action is very similar to Penicillin and it works by stopping the bacteria from growing. This is achieved by impairing the bacteria's ability to form bonds and thereby pulling down their cell walls. The holes that appear in the cell walls allow the body's immune system to take over and fight off the bacteria. Ampicillin has received FDA approval for its action of mechanism.
