Ampicillin is an antibacterial medication used to treat certain bacterial infections in small and large animals.
Ampicillin Sodium is a highly effective, broad-spectrum and safe antibiotic for the treatment of bacterial infections in livestock, especially for infections of the respiratory, digestive and urinary tracts.
What is Ampicillin?
Ampicillin Sodium for Injection is an antibiotic used to treat various types of bacterial infections in both small and large animals. It is indicated for the treatment of urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, systemic infections like sepsis, and other infections.
Ampicillin is a broad-spectrum, semisynthetic, beta-lactam penicillin antibiotic. It works by inhibiting cell wall synthesis within the bacteria. Ampicillin shows bactericidal activity against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms, such as E. coli and Klebsiella. At high dosages, this antibiotic is effective against penicillin-sensitive enterococci.
Can Ampicillin be used on animals?
Ampicillin is indicated for use in horses and livestock such as cattle, goats, and sheep. It is also used to treat companion animals, such as cats and dogs. Do not use ampicillin to treat rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters, or other small mammals. It may cause enteritis or clostridial enterotoxemia in these animals.
