No, for several reasons. First, while the name of the active ingredient is the same, the formulation and inactive carrier ingredients can be completely different. Second, the concentration of the drug can be very different, resulting in widely divergent doses. Third, penicillin is available by prescription only - it is illegal to administer it outside of the directions on the prescription.
