Store Ampicillin in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Maintain a temperature between 15-25°C (59-77°F). This prevents degradation and maintains potency.

Proper Handling Procedures
Always wash your hands thoroughly before handling Ampicillin. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and a lab coat. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for reconstitution and administration. Dispose of any unused Ampicillin according to local regulations. Never flush medication down the toilet or drain. Report any adverse reactions or unusual observations immediately to your healthcare provider.
Storage Requirements
Keep Ampicillin out of reach of children and pets. Use airtight containers if necessary to maintain its quality. Proper storage extends its shelf life and ensures its safety.
