Penicillin G is not taken orally because it is unstable in the acidic environment of the stomach, which leads to its breakdown and reduced absorption. Instead, it is typically administered via injection to ensure effective delivery into the bloodstream. Additionally, oral penicillins like penicillin V are available for cases where oral administration is appropriate, as they are more stable in gastric acid.
