When should Ampicillin Injection (Vet.) not be taken?
Penicillin Allergy:
If your pet has ever had an unfavorably susceptible response to penicillin or some other beta-lactam antibiotic, Ampicillin is completely contraindicated because of the high risk of a serious allergic response, including anaphylaxis.
Cephalosporin allergy:
While more uncommon, a few animals allergic to cephalosporins may also respond to Ampicillin because of cross-reactivity. Always inform your veterinarian regarding any allergies your pet is suffering.
Medical conditions:
Mononucleosis: This viral disease can deteriorate with Ampicillin treatment.
Irresistible mononucleosis: Like mononucleosis, this viral infection can be exacerbated by Ampicillin.
Pregnant or lactating animals:
While for the most part thought to be protected, consult your veterinarian carefully about risks and advantages before using Ampicillin in pregnant or lactating animals.
The medicine can go through the placenta or milk, possibly influencing the fetus or nursing young doggies/little cats.
Animals with extreme organ dysfunction:
If your pet has impaired kidney or liver function, Ampicillin dosage changes or alternative prescriptions may be important because of the likely expanded risk of side effects.
