Indication For the treatment of bacterial infections.
Pharmacology Ticarcillin is a semisynthetic antibiotic with a broad spectrum of bactericidal activity against many gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Ticarcillin is, however, susceptible to degradation by ß-lactamases, and therefore, the spectrum of activity does not normally include organisms which produce these enzymes.
Mechanism of Action Ticarcillin's antibiotic properties arise from its ability to prevent cross-linking of peptidoglycan during cell wall synthesis when the bacteria tries to divide, causing death.
Absorption Not Available
Toxicity As with other penicillins, neurotoxic reactions may arise when very high doses of ticarcillin are administered, especially in patients with impaired renal function.

Drug Interaction
Amikacin Ticarcillin may reduce the serum concentration of Amikacin. Ticarcillin may inactivate Amikacin in vitro and the two agents should not be administered simultaneously through the same IV line.
Demeclocycline Demeclocycline may reduce the effect of Ticarcillin by inhibiting bacterial growth. Ticarcillin exerts its effects on actively growing bacteria. To achieve synergism, Ticarcillin should be administered at least 2 hours prior to using Demeclocycline.
Doxycycline Doxycycline may reduce the effect of Ticarcillin by inhibiting bacterial growth. Ticarcillin exerts its effects on actively growing bacteria. To achieve synergism, Ticarcillin should be administered at least 2 hours prior to using Doxycycline.
Fusidic Acid Fusidic acid may reduce the effect of Ticarcillin by inhibiting bacterial growth. Ticarcillin exerts its effects on actively growing bacteria. To achieve synergism, Ticarcillin should be administered at least 2 hours prior to using Fusidic acid.
Gentamicin Ticarcillin may reduce the serum concentration of Gentamicin. Ticarcillin may inactivate Gentamicin in vitro and the two agents should not be administered simultaneously through the same IV line.
Kanamycin Ticarcillin may reduce the serum concentration of Kanamycin. Ticarcillin may inactivate Kanamycin in vitro and the two agents should not be administered simultaneously through the same IV line.
Minocycline Minocycline may reduce the effect of Ticarcillin by inhibiting bacterial growth. Ticarcillin exerts its effects on actively growing bacteria. To achieve synergism, Ticarcillin should be administered at least 2 hours prior to using Minocycline.
Neomycin Ticarcillin may reduce the serum concentration of Neomycin. Ticarcillin may inactivate Neomycin in vitro and the two agents should not be administered simultaneously through the same IV line.
Oxytetracycline Oxytetracycline may reduce the effect of Ticarcillin by inhibiting bacterial growth. Ticarcillin exerts its effects on actively growing bacteria. To achieve synergism, Ticarcillin should be administered at least 2 hours prior to using Oxytetracycline.
Streptomycin Ticarcillin may reduce the serum concentration of Streptomycin. Ticarcillin may inactivate Streptomycin in vitro and the two agents should not be administered simultaneously through the same IV line.
Tetracycline Tetracycline may reduce the effect of Ticarcillin by inhibiting bacterial growth. Ticarcillin exerts its effects on actively growing bacteria. To achieve synergism, Ticarcillin should be administered at least 2 hours prior to using Tetracycline.
