  1. Which among the following is a large spectrum Antibiotic ?
    1. Paracetamol
    2. Pencillin
    3. Ampicillin
    4. Chlormphenicol
Correct Option: C

Ampicillin is the large spectrum antibiotic most commonly used. Ampicillin is a betalactam antibiotic that is part of the amino-penicillin family and is roughly equivalent to its successor, amoxicillin in terms of spectrum and level of activity. It can sometimes result in reactions that range in severity from a rash (in the case of patients that may unwittingly have mononucleosis) to potentially lethal allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. However, as with other penicillin drugs, it is relatively non-toxic and adverse effects of a serious nature are encountered only rarely.
