Penicillin G sodium salt (Benzylpenicillin sodium salt) CAS:69-57-8

Penicillin G sodium salt is primarily used to treat bacterial pneumonia, meningitis, endocarditis, septicaemia and other infections caused by susceptible organisms. After reconstitution, it is administered by deep intramuscular injection or intravenous infusion, depending on the severity of infection. For more serious infections, intravenous administration provides higher blood levels. Treatment duration varies based on infection but typically lasts 7-10 days. Close monitoring is needed due to the risk of allergic reactions. Potential side effects include diarrhea, nausea, rash and headaches. It is important to take the full prescribed course of therapy to ensure bacterial eradication and prevent antibiotic resistance. Penicillin G sodium salt offers effective therapy for susceptible bacterial infections when immediate systemic delivery is required. Proper administration and monitoring for side effects is important.
