Common reactions include diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Less frequent, but still possible, are skin rashes, including more severe reactions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome.<\/p>\n<p>Serious allergic reactions, though rare, are a significant concern. Symptoms can range from hives and itching to swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, and difficulty breathing.

Consult your doctor immediately if you notice unusual bruising or bleeding.<\/p>\n<p>Ampicillin may interact with other medications. Always inform your doctor and pharmacist of all medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, you are taking.<\/p>\n<p>Pregnancy and breastfeeding require special consideration.
