If serious anaphylactic reaction occurs,?Ampicillin?should be discontinued and the patient treated with adrenalin, corticosteriods and antihistamines. The onset of the symptoms varies: it may occur within a few days of the beginning of treatment or not until therapy with a penicillin derivative is resumed on a subsequent occasion.
