Zampiciln 500mg Inj is an injection made by Zafa Pharmaceutical Labortories Ltd that contains Ampicillin 500mg, a broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotic. It is used for chest infections, urinary tract infections, abdominal infections, ear and sinus infections, meningitis and infections in newborns. Pack size: 10 pcs.

Uses of Zampiciln 500mg Inj

Zampiciln 500mg Inj is used to treat a range of bacterial infections, including chest infections, urinary tract infections, ear and sinus infections, and infections inside the abdomen. In hospital it is often given by injection, sometimes with other antibiotics, for serious infections such as meningitis and infections in newborn babies. It only works against bacteria and is not effective for colds, flu or other viral illnesses.

How Zampiciln 500mg Inj works

Ampicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic that prevents bacteria from building their cell walls. As they try to grow and divide without a proper wall, the bacteria burst and die, allowing the immune system to clear the infection.

Possible side effects

Like most antibiotics, Zampiciln 500mg Inj can upset the stomach. Common side effects include:

• Diarrhoea
• Nausea or vomiting
• Skin rash
• Itching
• Pain at the injection site
• Oral or vaginal thrush

Stop taking it and get medical help straight away for swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, a severe or blistering rash, or severe, watery or bloody diarrhoea.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not use it if you are allergic to penicillin, and tell your doctor about any previous reaction to cephalosporins or other antibiotics.
• Finish the full course as prescribed, even if you feel better, to help stop the infection returning and reduce resistance.
• Tell your doctor if you have glandular fever (infectious mononucleosis) or leukaemia, as ampicillin very often causes a rash in these conditions.
• Let your doctor know about kidney disease and about other medicines such as methotrexate, allopurinol or warfarin.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, use it only on your doctor’s advice.

Storage

Store as directed on the pack, protected from light. Injections should only be prepared and given by a doctor, nurse or other trained healthcare professional. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
