Penicillin V potassium is the potassium salt of phenoxymethyl analog of penicillin G. It is safe, inexpensive, and effective in treating strep throat, mild respiratory tract infections, middle ear infections, and scarlet fever.

Penicillin, the first effective antibiotic, continues to be widely prescribed today. However, it should not be used as initial treatment of severe infections.

The main inconvenience of Penicillin V is the need to take it two to three times daily and the 10-day duration of therapy.

More Information

Penicillin V potassium exerts a bactericidal action and works by killing the bacteria that are causing the infection. It has a relatively narrow antimicrobial spectrum and a poor activity against Gram-negative bacteria.

How to take

Most people use Penicillin without unwanted side effects. It is very safe for those who are not allergic to penicillins and cephalosporins.

If you feel signs of an allergic reaction, such as skin rash, itching, shortness of breath, chills, seek medical attention immediately.

You may take Penicillin VK without dietary restrictions. However, absorption is better if it is taken on an empty stomach (1 hour before or 2 hours after meals).

It is important to take the full prescribed course of Penicillin VK. Even if you feel better, you need to continue taking penicillin to ensure that the infection is completely treated. If you stop taking penicillin before your treatment time is complete, the infection may reoccur.

It is desirable to take the doses at even intervals. Penicillin's half-life is 0.5 to 1 hr. So it is eliminated from the system in about 6 hours.

If you have a history of kidney disease or any type of allergy you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to take penicillin safely.
