Gastrointestinal: The most common were nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Skin/Skin Structure: The most common were rash, itching and other skin reactions.
Haematopoietic and Lymphatic Systems: Anemia, thrombocytopenia, eosinophilia and leucopenia have been reported during therapy with sulbactam sodium/ampicillin sodium. These reactions are reversible on discontinuation of therapy and are believed to be sensitivity reactions.
Hepatic: Transient elevations of alanine and aspartic transaminases have been observed.
It is expected that the adverse reactions associated with the use of ampicillin will be occasionally observed.
Since infectious mononucleosis is viral in origin, ampicillin should not be used in the treatment. A high percentage of patients with mononucleosis who receive ampicillin develop a skin rash.
