What is the difference between ciprofloxacn and penicillin?
ciprofloxacin is a class of antibiotic that works by a different mechanism to kill bacteria than penicillin.
penicillin works by preventing bacteria that have a compound called peptidoglycan in their cell wall from completely forming. the penicillin binds to a certain amino acid sequence in the peptidoglycan and prevents the bacterial cell from completely forming the cell wall which causes the bacterial cell to have structural instability, causing cellular death.
ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone type of antibiotic that interferes with the synthesis of bacterial DNA by preventing the function of a certain enzyme which kills the bacterial cell by preventing its replication process.

How much penicillin does a mushroom contain?
penicillin and mushrooms are not similar, the ingredients psilocybin and psilocin are similar in spelling but are vastly different, you should be fine, if you are feeling very paranoid then eat a smal chunk of one, wait 24 hours, if you have no signs of an allergic reaction then you will be fine, although i am very sure that you will have no problems
Penicillin and ampecillin are produced (synthetically)-->from certain molds, mushrooms not being one of these molds..Although you can grow penicillin when trying to grow mushrooms a good rule of thumb is if it fruits there is no penicillin present.

Can you take both Penicillin V Pot 300 mg and Apo Metronidazole 250 mg at the same time?
Metronidazole 250mg is an antibiotic, most commonly used for abdominal, vaginal, and intestinal infections.*
Penicillin V Pot 300mg is most commonly used to treat certain throat, respiratory tract, and skin infections.*
Your prescribing doctor or pharmacist would be the best person to answer your question regarding using these two antibiotics together - but it does make sense that they are used to kill different kinds of bacteria so if you have two infections at the same time you need to use both drugs to heal them.
You may want to take L. acidophilus or garlic tabs (with your doctor's OK) to prevent getting a yeast infection, from using these two antibiotics.
* Your doctor may prescribe these for different reasons.
