Ampicillin typically has a half-life of about 1 to 1.5 hours in healthy adults, meaning it is eliminated from the body relatively quickly. The duration of its effects can last several hours, and it is usually administered multiple times a day to maintain effective drug levels. The exact duration can vary based on factors like dosage, the patient's kidney function, and the type of infection being treated. Always follow a healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment.
