About Ampitrust 1.5gm Injection 1's

Ampitrust 1.5gm Injection 1's belongs to a class of drugs called antibiotics used to treat several types of bacterial infections, including infections of the urinary tract, upper and lower respiratory tract, ears, nose, throat, chest, lungs, soft tissue, skin, bone and joint, intra-abdominal and gonococcal infections. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Ampitrust 1.5gm Injection 1's does not work against infections caused by the virus.

Ampicillin works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. It damages the bacterial cell wall and kills bacteria. Sulbactam works by blocking beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by bacteria to inactivate antibiotics. Thus, it prevents bacteria from destroying Ampicillin.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Take probiotics after completing the full course of Ampitrust 1.5gm Injection 1's to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like cheese, yoghurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
  • Include fibre-rich foods, as they can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains such as whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet.
  • Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids daily while you are receiving Ampitrust 1.5gm Injection 1's.
  • Avoid alcohol consumption as it may increase adverse effects.

Bacterial infection: It is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes infection. It can target any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Bacteria come in three basic shapes: spherical, rod, or spiral-shaped. Bacteria may be gram-positive (have thick cell walls) or gram-negative (do not have cell walls). Appropriate tests are done to identify bacterial strains, and based on the results, proper medication is prescribed. Some common symptoms of bacterial infection include cough, fever, and tiredness.
