Ampicillin for Injectable Suspension is a prescription antibiotic used in the treatment of bacterial infections in dogs, cats, cattle, and calves. This versatile veterinary medication should be dosed based on species, body weight, and infection severity.
In all species, a 3-day treatment course is typically effective. Continue treatment for 48 to 72 hours after the animal becomes afebrile or shows no clinical symptoms.
Federal law restricts the use of this drug to licensed veterinarians or those acting under their supervision.
Do not use in animals with a known hypersensitivity to penicillin, cephalosporins, or related antibiotics.
As a derivative of 6-aminopenicillanic acid, ampicillin may cause allergic reactions. If symptoms occur, discontinue treatment and administer appropriate agents (e.g., antihistamines, corticosteroids, or pressor amines) as directed by a veterinarian.
