Monitoring
- • Although anaphylaxis is more frequent following parenteral therapy, it has occurred in patients on oral penicillins.
- • These reactions are more apt to occur in individuals with a history of penicillin hypersensitivity and/or a history of sensitivity to multiple allergens.
- • There have been well-documented reports of individuals with a history of penicillin hypersensitivity reactions who have experienced severe hypersensitivity reactions when treated with a cephalosporin.
- • Review the product-specific label before prescribing.
Interaction Notes
- • It is not known whether this potentiation of ampicillin rashes is due to allopurinol or the hyperuricemia present in these patients.
- • Interaction data should be confirmed against the corresponding label.
