AMPICILLIN vs VONOPRAZAN FUMARATE AND AMOXICILLIN

How did the dosing of PO ampicillin and PO azithromycin come about? Ampicillin IV dosing is in 1-2 grams given q4h or q6h, whereas ampicillin PO is dosed 250 mg or 500 mg with similar frequencies. On top of that, it only has about 50% oral bioavailability. Azithromycin bioavailability is 40-50% but

The micro lab at our hospital reports C/S for bugs like enterococcus for ampicillin and not Unasyn. Is there any reason, besides cost, to use Ampicillin by itself over Unasyn if an organism is reported Susceptible to ampicillin? I would figure that using Unasyn may be beneficial for increased effica

Hospital RPH here. We have a pt whose blood cultures x2 tested positive for E. faecalis susceptible to ampicillin and vancomycin. Provider wants double coverage (amp and vanc) because the pt has osteomyelitis. Problem is the bug has an MIC of 2 against vanc, but the susceptibility chart still give

Looking for some clinical discussion around Unasyn (ampicillin/sulbactam) for MSSA bacteremia. CLSI m100 equates a lack of methicillin resistance with susceptibility Unasyn (lets assume C/S confirm and no unforeseen mechanisms of resistance) and during shortage it has been successfully used in Japan
