Penicillin G 200000IU Tablets
SKU GME732Product Introduction
Penicillin G potassium tablets are an oral penicillin antibiotic for selected susceptible bacterial infections. The organism, infection site and suitability of the oral preparation determine whether this preparation is appropriate.
How to use
Take the oral tablets with water on an empty stomach, usually one hour before or two hours after food. Space doses evenly and complete the selected course. Serious invasive infections may require injectable treatment instead.
How it works
Binding to bacterial penicillin-binding proteins inhibits cell-wall cross-linking, causing death of susceptible bacteria.
Side effects
Nausea, diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort and rash may occur; serious penicillin allergy can develop rapidly.
Important information
Tell your doctor about any previous immediate penicillin reaction, kidney disease and methotrexate or warfarin use. Severe or invasive infection requires an appropriate route and regimen.
Uses
- Selected susceptible bacterial infections for which oral penicillin G is appropriate.
Benefits
Provides narrow-spectrum antibacterial treatment where oral penicillin G is clinically appropriate.
Does it treat worms or viral flu?
No. Penicillin G is antibacterial, not an anthelmintic or antiviral.
Are 200000, 400000 and 800000 units the same tablet dose?
No. Biological activity per tablet differs, so they are not one-tablet-for-one-tablet substitutes.
Can oral tablets replace a prescribed injection for meningitis?
No. Severe infections require disease-specific treatment and adequate drug exposure at the infection site.
What allergy symptoms are emergencies?
Breathing difficulty, throat swelling, faintness or widespread hives after a dose needs emergency care.
Can it affect a live oral typhoid vaccine?
Yes. Antibiotics can reduce vaccine effectiveness; vaccination timing should be reviewed.
Is early symptom relief a reason to stop?
Take the selected course; stopping prematurely can allow the infection to recur.
What if severe diarrhoea occurs?
Seek assessment for antibiotic-associated colitis, even if the antibiotic course has ended.
Can I use it for a future sore throat without review?
No. Many sore throats are viral and an old prescription may not be appropriate.
