What is ACE 1000 Injection
ACE 1000 Injection is a medication that combines ampicillin and cloxacillin, two antibiotics from the penicillin family. This combination is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections, particularly those that are moderate to severe. It is commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections, bacterial meningitis, sepsis, endocarditis, urinary tract infections, pelvic infections, skin and soft tissue infections, gastrointestinal infections, and post-surgical infections. It is also used for treating puerperal fever and ear, nose, and throat infections in cases where oral antibiotics are not an option.
Important Considerations Before Using ACE 1000 Injection
Before receiving an ACE 1000 injection, it is crucial to inform your doctor if you have any history of liver or kidney disease, as this may affect how the medication works in your body. The injection should also be used with caution in pregnant women, so it is essential to consult your healthcare provider beforehand.
ACE 1000 Injection is generally not recommended for use in breastfeeding women, as it may pass into breast milk and affect the baby. Always consult your doctor if you are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed.
In children and elderly patients (aged 65 years and above), ACE 1000 Injection should be used with extra caution. It is important to follow the doctor’s guidance for proper dosage and care.

Uses of ACE Injection
ACE Injection is used to treat a range of infections caused by bacteria, including:
- Respiratory Tract Infections: Infections affecting the lungs, bronchi, or other parts of the respiratory system.
- Stomach Infections: Infections affecting the gastrointestinal system.
- Urinary Tract Infections: Infections affecting the urinary bladder, kidneys, or urethra.
- Fever Associated with Bacterial Infections: Fever that arises from bacterial infections, often indicating an underlying serious infection.

- Endocarditis: Infection of the heart valves and inner lining of the heart.
How ACE 1000 Injection Works
The combination of Ampicillin and Cloxacillin in ACE 1000 Injection works synergistically to combat bacterial infections:
- Ampicillin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that targets a wide variety of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, leading to the bacteria’s destruction during their active growth phase.
- Cloxacillin is a penicillinase-resistant antibiotic, effective against bacteria that produce beta-lactamase (an enzyme that can break down regular penicillin). Cloxacillin works by preventing bacterial cell wall formation, which helps control the existing bacteria in the body.
Together, this combination helps your body fight infections by preventing bacteria from multiplying and by directly killing the bacteria.
Directions for Use
ACE 1000 Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional, either through an intravenous (IV) line or intramuscular (IM) injection. The doctor will determine the correct dosage and duration based on your age, body weight, and the specific condition being treated.
