Pharmacological Action

Ampicillin is a bactericidal antibiotic that acts by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins, disrupting cell wall formation and leading to bacterial cell lysis. Due to its broad-spectrum activity, ampicillin is effective against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

After oral administration, Acmecilin Capsule is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and distributed widely throughout body tissues and fluids. Therapeutic concentrations are achieved at infection sites, supporting effective bacterial eradication.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Acmecilin Capsule 250 mg should be determined by a physician based on the patient’s age, body weight, type of infection, and renal function. Capsules should be taken with a full glass of water, preferably before meals to enhance absorption. It is important to complete the full course of therapy as prescribed, even if symptoms improve earlier.

Precautions and Warnings

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to penicillins or other beta-lactam antibiotics.

• Use with caution in patients with a history of allergic reactions or asthma.

• Prolonged use may lead to superinfection with non-susceptible organisms.
