Penicillin G potassium salt (Benzylpenicillin potassium salt) CAS:113-98-4

Penicillin G potassium salt is primarily used to treat bacterial pneumonia, streptococcal infections, anthrax, and other diseases caused by susceptible bacteria. It is reconstituted and given by injection into a muscle or vein by a healthcare professional. The dosage and length of treatment depends on the infection but is usually every 4-6 hours for 7-10 days. Penicillin G provides bactericidal levels in the bloodstream and tissues but has no effect against viruses. Potential side effects include allergic reactions, diarrhea, rashes and nausea. As with all antibiotics, follow the dosage schedule exactly as prescribed to prevent antibiotic resistance. Monitor for signs of allergy like hives, difficulty breathing or swelling of the face, lips or throat and seek medical help immediately if experienced. Penicillin G potassium salt offers effective treatment for susceptible bacterial diseases when other options cannot be used due to allergy or resistance.
