AMPICILLIN-250MGUlcerative colitis
Severe
How does the disease interact with Campicilin 250 Capsule 10's:
Nearly all antibacterial medications have been associated with Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD), formerly known as pseudomembranous colitis, which can range in severity from mild diarrhoea to deadly colitis. Lincomycin and clindamycin are typically to blame.

How to manage the interaction:
Campicilin 250 Capsule 10's should be used with caution in patients with a history of gastrointestinal disease, particularly colitis (inflammation in the large intestine) and pseudomembranous colitis (generally characterized by severe, persistent diarrhoea and severe abdominal cramps and sometimes associated with the passage of blood and mucus).
AMPICILLIN-250MGInfectious mononucleosis
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Campicilin 250 Capsule 10's:
When given an aminopenicillin antibiotic for mononucleosis, patients may experience a pruritic, erythematous, maculopapular skin rash. Usually, the rash self-limits and goes away a few days after the offending chemical is stopped. The underlying mechanism has been suggested to be a changed drug metabolism or an immune-mediated process unrelated to drug hypersensitivity. Patients with mononucleosis shouldn't receive treatment with antibiotics containing aminopenicillin.

How to manage the interaction:
Campicilin 250 Capsule 10's should not be used in patients with mononucleosis (contagious infection caused by virus) as it may cause skin rash.
AMPICILLIN-250MGOther disorders of kidney and ureter, not elsewhere classified
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Campicilin 250 Capsule 10's:
The kidneys remove the majority of beta-lactam antibiotics as unaltered drugs and, in some situations, as metabolites as well. In individuals with reduced renal function, the serum concentrations of beta-lactam antibiotics and their metabolites may rise, and their half-lives may be prolonged. These individuals have had parenteral administration of these drugs and have experienced neurotoxic responses such as encephalopathy, asterixis, myoclonus, seizures, and coma. Adjustments to the dosage may be required.

How to manage the interaction:
Dose adjustments may be required in patients with kidney impairment. Kidney function tests should be performed at regular intervals during prolonged and/or high-dose therapy since nephrotoxicity (rapid deterioration in kidney function) and alterations in kidney function have occasionally been associated with the use of Campicilin 250 Capsule 10's.
