Ampicillin should not be added to infusion bottles containing Dextran 40 Injection but may be injected into the drip tubing of such an infusion.
Blood and Plasma: A dilute solution (i.e. 500 mg dissolved in 20 mL Water for Injections) should be injected slowly into the drip tubing rather than added to the infusion bottle.
SIDE-EFFECTS AND SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS:
If symptoms due to overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms (Aerobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas, Candida, etc.) appear, the drug should be discontinued and specific or supportive therapy instituted. Side-effects are usually mild, transitory and infrequent and are similar to those found with other penicillins, however the administration of high doses to children may cause cerebral irritation and convulsions. Transient diarrhoea, nausea, heartburn and pruritus ani may occur. When ampicillin is administered to a hypersensitive patient, allergic reactions may occur; urticaria and skin rashes are common; exfoliative dermatitis, eosinophilia, angioneurotic oedema, fever and swollen joints are less frequent; occasionally severe allergic reactions, which may be fatal, occur.
These reactions are more common after parenteral use but may occur after oral administration of any penicillin derivative in persons who have become hypersensitised after a previous course of treatment.
The onset of symptoms varies; it may occur within a few hours or days of the beginning of treatment or not until therapy with a penicillin derivative is resumed on a subsequent occasion.
Occasionally an erythema multiforme type of rash may occur up to 15 days after stopping administration.
KNOWN SYMPTOMS OF OVERDOSAGE AND PARTICULARS OF ITS TREATMENT:
Overdosing is virtually impossible. However, in patients with renal impairment, because serum levels increase, dosage may be reduced if required. Should a serious allergic reaction occur, the drug should be discontinued and the patient treated specifically (antihistamines, pressor amines or corticosteroids).
