Inform your doctor if you don't feel better after finishing the full course of treatment. Also, inform if your symptoms are getting worse while using this medicine.
Q. Can I stop taking Ampicillin when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop taking Ampicillin and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared.

Sulbactam

Q. Why is Sulbactam added to other antibiotics?
Sulbactam added to other antibiotics like ampicillin, cefoperazone, etc., because Sulbactam contains Sulbactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, which reduces resistance and enhances the activity of other antibiotics like ampicillin, cefoperazone, etc., against the bacteria.
Q. Who should not take Sulbactam?
Sulbactam should not be taken by an individual if he/she had an allergic reaction to ampicillin, sulbactam, or any penicillin antibiotic (such as penicillins or cephalosporins), or if he/she has a history of liver problems caused by ampicillin/sulbactam.
Q. What should I discuss with my doctor before receiving Sulbactam?
Before taking Sulbactam, you should tell your doctor if you have ever had an allergic reaction to Sulbactam or any similar medicine. Inform the doctor if you have any type of allergy, asthma or breathing problems, heart disease or kidney disease.

Q. Can I use a discolored solution of Sulbactam?
No. You should not use Sulbactam if the medicine has changed colors or has particles in it. The discolored solution may be contaminated and may not be as effective as it is expected to be. Also, it may cause additional side effects. So, it is better, that you discard the solution and go for another vial.
Q. I feel better now. Can I stop taking Sulbactam?
No. Make sure to receive all doses your doctor has prescribed, even if you feel better. This is because your symptoms may have improved but chances are that the infection is still present in your body. Skipping doses can increase the risk of developing an infection that is resistant to medication. So, continue taking Sulbactam as prescribed. After you have finished all the doses, your doctor may advise you on some tests to make sure your infection has completely cleared up.
Q. Does Sulbactam treat the flu?
No. Sulbactam does not treat a viral infection such as the flu or a common cold.
