Store ampicillin powder in a tightly closed container, protected from moisture and light, at a temperature below 25°C (77°F).
Reconstituted ampicillin solutions should be refrigerated at 2-8°C (36-46°F). Use within 24 hours to maintain potency. Discard any unused portion after this time.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions printed on the product label. These instructions provide specific guidance tailored to the particular formulation of ampicillin.
Proper hygiene is vital. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after handling ampicillin. Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse the affected area immediately with plenty of water.
When disposing of ampicillin, follow local regulations. Never flush unused medication down the toilet or drain.
