How much does ampicillin/sulbactam cost (and what affects the price)?
Ampicillin/sulbactam pricing varies mainly by:
- Strength and dosage form (for example, vial size and whether it’s for IV/IM use)
- Brand vs generic availability in a specific country or market
- Quantity purchased (single vial vs hospital pack pricing)
- Contracting and reimbursement (common in hospital pharmacy purchasing)
Is there a brand-name product, or is it mostly generic?
In many markets, ampicillin/sulbactam is widely available as a generic combination, which usually drives the per-dose price down compared with single-source brand products. Exact availability depends on your location and the specific package size.

What’s the fastest way to get a precise quote?
If you tell me:
- your country (and whether this is for a hospital/clinic or retail pharmacy),
- the concentration (e.g., how many mg ampicillin + mg sulbactam per vial),
- and the package size (number of vials),
I can help narrow down what to look for and how to compare like-for-like pricing.
If you meant “ampicillin + sulbactam” (separate drugs) instead of the combo product
If you’re comparing the fixed-dose combination product versus buying ampicillin and sulbactam separately, the effective cost per dose can differ based on wastage, vial sizes, and how prescriptions are bundled by the pharmacy or wholesaler.
