Do not take Campicilin (Ampicillin) antibiotic medication if allergic to it. Before taking this medicine, let your doctor know if you are allergic to it or cephalosporin antibiotics such as Cefaclor, Cefuroxime Axetil, Cephalexin, Cefadroxil, and others, or if you have asthma, kidney disease, a bleeding or blood clotting disorder, mononucleosis (also known as ‘mono’), or a history of any allergy.
Ampicillin is an FDA pregnancy category B drug, meaning it is not expected to be harmful to an unborn baby if taken while pregnant. However, you must inform your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. This medication can make birth control pills less effective. Ask your doctor about using other forms of contraception (non-hormonal such as condoms, spermicide, or diaphragm) if you use birth control regularly. Ampicillin can pass into breast milk and harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without your doctor’s advice if you are nursing a baby.
You must complete the course of Ampicillin antibiotic medicine as your doctor prescribes. Symptoms usually improve before the infection is completely cleared from your body. Not completing the antibiotic course can cause a drug-resistant infection which is difficult to treat with common antibiotics. Ampicillin will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or flu.
