Ciclacillin Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

A cyclohexylamido analog of penicillanic acid.

Ciclacillin, a penicillin, is a cyclohexylamido analog of penicillanic acid. Ciclacillin is more resistant to beta-lactamase hydrolysis than ampicillin, is much better absorbed when given by mouth and, as a result, the levels reached in the blood and in the urine are considerably higher than those obtained with the same dose of ampicillin. Ciclacillin has been replaced by newer penicillin treatments.
