Can you give your dog human penicillin?
Ask a trained vet.
(From a vet); if your vet has prescribed it, it IS possible, but not reccomended unless absolutely necessary. The antibiotic will enter the milk and get in to the puppies - depending on how much they drink this could potentially be harmful to them. If the female needs penicillin (e.g. for a womb or mammary infection) we sometimes prescribe penicillin, but monitor carefully. If possible it is best to hand rear the puppies while the mother receives medication.
Is there penicillin in the flu vaccine?
Yes, you can get the flu shot if you are allergic to penicillin. There is no penicillin in the flu vaccine. If you have an allergy to eggs, that could be an issue, but see the related question below about egg allergies and flu vaccinations, it may not prevent you from getting the flu vaccination if you take specific precautions according to new information from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).
yes
What is the structural formula of Penicillin g procaine?
You have a five armed thiazolidine ring. To this ring a four armed beta lactum ring is attached in case of the penicillin. Penicillin is one member of the beta lactum antibiotic.
What was Alexander Fleming studying when he discovered penicillin?
In 1928, while studying Staphylococci bacteria, Fleming discovered that some of the bacteria cultures had been contaminated by a fungus, Penicillium. Seeing that the mold products had antibiotic properties, Fleming isolated them and on March 7, 1929 named the substance penicillin.
Can you take penicillin if you are on methadone?
Yes, amoxicillin is understood to be safe to use with methadone (dolophine), but ALWAYS consult your physician and your pharmacist before taking any kind of prescription medication(s).
===
An important side note for methadone managed patients in regard to the concomitant use of a different antibiotic medication, ciprofloxacin (Cipro) and methadone:
The concomitant use of methadone and ciprofloxacin is highly discouraged due to the increased risk of adverse effects of methadone (equating to methadone overdose).
Reason:
Inhibition of the enzymes that metabolize methadone (dolophine), i.e., CYP3A4 and/or CYP1A2 -- Ref: Eap et al. 2002; Herrlin et al. 2000.
Can penile swelling be a reaction penicillin?
Yes.. I have seen isolated penile swelling secondary to penicillin allergy
What role of fungus penicillium in production of penicillin?
Penicillin is a normal product of fungal metabolism that is capable of killing germs(bacteria).Penicillium notatum was the first fungal species from which penicillin was isolated.Production involves fermentation of the fungal spores in carefully -regulated nutrient media.
The nutrients consists of glucose and nitrogen-source,phosphate and calcium in addition to minerals(phenyl-acetic acid) which helps to make the penicillin molecule.
Penicillin is the secondary metabolite that is produced after the initial rapid growth phase of the fungus.The primary metabolites include carbon dioxide and ethanol from respiration.
The temperature and pH(6.5-7) are carefully regulated as production is very sensitive to temperature. The fungus mycelium is then removed by filtration and the penicillin remains behind in solution in the liquid part of the medium.
All impurities are then removed by extraction and vacuum to leave penicillin as a sodium or potassium salt.
Can humans take animal penicillin?
Penicillin G is made for humans and animals. " Pen Strep" refers to a mixture solution of one part Penicillin and One part streptomycin. It is a standard antibiotic used for a wide range of gram negative and gram positive bacteria in both animals and humans. You wouldn't want to use animal penicillin on a human because animal penicillin often comes in a higher or lower dose dependent on factors such as weight and lbs per milligram rules. As with any Antibiotic drug....You could overdose and cause serious injury and possibly death. You could under dose which could lead the bacteria to become resistant to the antibiotic which in case, would only lead to the need of another antibiotic to cure the infection.
How long can penicillin be left not refigerated?
Not more than 3 hours. If you leave it out any more than that you could get sick from it.
Alexander accidentally discovered penicillin from the fungus Penicillium notatum, which he realized could fight infection and bacteria. From this he developed the practice of antibiotic therapy for infectious diseases.

What is the source of the antibiotic pencillin?
Joseph Lister, an English surgeon and the father of modern antisepsis, was prompted by Burdon-Sanderson's discovery to investigate and describe in 1871 that urine samples contaminated with mould did not allow the growth of bacteria. He also described the antibacterial action on human tissue on what he called Penicillium glaucum. A nurse at King's College Hospital whose wounds did not respond to any antiseptic, was then given another substance that cured her, and Lister's registrar informed her that it was called Penicillium.
Greeks often used mouldy bread to treat wounds, so penicillin/illium has been used since ancient times, even though it had no name, and wasn't entirely understood.
How can i cure an oral yeast infection?
It first has to be confirmed that it is just a yeast infection, if you'e not sure or if you're not up-to-date with STD screening when sexually active then it's best to go get tested.
