How much pencillin is in a shot?

Answer 1

That depends on what the doctor orders. The doctor also needs to know what he/she is trying to kill with the penicillin. Furthermore, depending on the bacteria, will also dictate the form of Penicillin (PCN). Next, you need to know the age and weight of the patient.

The standard shot PCN VK has 125mg per 5ml or 250 mg per 5 ml.

The strength clarification is 250 mg = 400,000 units of PCN.
