Pivampicillin is a semi-synthetic antibiotic derived from ampicillin and belonging to the class of penicillins. The monograph on Pivampicillin (0852) was published in the Ph. Eur. in 1993 for the first time. Since that date, the related substances method was not revised, although experience has shown that it lacked specificity. Moreover, the test in question contains only a limit of maximum 3 per cent for the total of impurities; no impurity is specified, which is not in accordance with current guidelines. Therefore, this monograph would require a complete revision. page 3 / 4 However, no drug product containing pivampicillin and no manufacturers of the drug substance could be identified on the European market. It is therefore proposed to suppress the monograph on Pivampicillin (0852) from the European Pharmacopoeia.
