Penicillin

0.1 ml

If the imprint is S21, this pill is PENICILLIN V POTASSIUM 500 MG.

No, it did come from a fungus (mushroom). There is no penicillin in snakes.

Instead of injecting the whole med. only inject 0.8 ml This is something very common among antibiotics orders. For the next time all you have to do is to divide the order by the amout in the vial and multiply by the # of ml that the vial has.

Yes, erythromycin is very similar to penicillin, in the types of bacterial infections it can fight. Erythromycin is used in patients who are allergic to penicillin, primarily. But an M.D. could prescribe it to somebody who has developed a tolerance, or to an infection that is penicillin- resistant. Typically, though, a different antibiotic is chosen, given the similarities of the two drugs.

I do not recommend drinking to excess when you are fighting off an infection. The beer is OK with the antibiotic, but getting drunk would reduce your body's ability to fight off your illness. One beer is fine. Avoid more than that until you heal up.

Penicillin pills are mainly blue and round not much else to it just blue and round.

Through lots of trial and error plus a healthy dose of experimentation. Scientists have known about the effects of mold on bacteria for hundreds of years but couldn't find a way to definitively prove which molds were acting on which bacteria. In 1928 Sir Alexander Fleming noticed a halo shaped ring of bacteria growing around a spot of mold in a petri dish but the bacteria couldn't get close enough to the mold to eat it. He theroized something in the mold was killing off the bacteria as they tried to approach it. He grew a pure culture of the mold and found it was called penecillum notatum. It was from this mold he was able to extract pure penecillin.

From what I hear, you may take penicillin with or without food. Some doctors may recommend otherwise, so it's best to check with them if you're worried.

1. Probenecid inhibits the tubular secretion of penicillin thus increasing the serum concentration of penicillin.

2. Lesser dose of Penicillin is needed

3. Therefore, there will be less side effects of penicillin.

It was accidentally discovered in 1928 that penicilliumwould produce penicillin in certain conditions. But it was 1945, after years of work by Florey and Chain, before sufficient stock for mass use could be produced.

Ha Ha This is SUPPOSED to be an assignment for YOU to learn how to do, dear. If you don't learn to do it on your own you will never pass those classes and get that license! Or you could get a job, do it wrong, and kill your patient. Don't kid yourself that accidents never happen with drugs. Now go get a cup of coffee and do your homework yourself.

k stands for potassium...its complexed with penicillin....mainly added with phenoxymethylpenicillin.so that a potassium sparing diuretic need not be used.

no

yes you can take them both together as i am a fully qualified doctor who works at guys hospital London UK

I think that it treats many things. One example is strep troat.

No, If you have a confirmed allergy to one penicillin you will more than likely be allergic to all other penicillins. Amoxicillin is an example of an aminopenicillin. When you say that you have an allergy you should have had a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction to a penicillin. Meaning basically that it was bad enough to go the the hospital. If you experienced mild GI upset you may of not had an allergic reaction. You should consult you local pharmacist or discuss with you physician the types of reactions that you have had and they can make the best judgment of whether or not you have a penicillin allergy.

It is levofloxacin. It is effective against many bacterial infections.

A form of mold

Yes it can; sleepiness or insomnia are listed as less common side effects

Augmentin contains pencillin, and you should not receive augmentin at all. You need to change doctors if your doctor knows this and report the person.

There is no reason from what you have said that there should be a problem taking it. Allergies are not inherited, so don't worry about your baby having an allergic reaction.

However, you should only take anti-biotics that have been prescribed for you, and you should make your physician or pharmacist aware that you are pregnant before taking them

All antibiotics have the same goal. To kill bacterial (prokaryotic) cells while not harming human (Eukaryotic) cells. There are a few differences between the two cell types that can be targeted. Penicillin targets the peptidoglycan cell wall. Essentially it breaks down the cell wall and the cell dies because it can not control the osmotic pressure that it experiences. There are many antibiotics (beta lactam antibiotics) that still use this same mechanism to kill bacterial cells. A common example would be amoxicillin.

Another common target is protein synthesis. Cellular life requires proteins and lots of them. All proteins are constructed by ribosomes. The bacterial ribosome is a little bit different than eukaryotic ribosomes. Because of this difference it is possible to inhibit the function of the ribosome and kill bacterial cells, but not harm human cells. A common example of this type of drug is Azithromycin or a Z-pack.

Different antibiotics are chosen for different types of infections. Some are more invasive and require more potent antibiotics, some respond better to different antibiotics, and some are completely resistant to certain antibiotics. This is why doctors should submit specimens for a culture and sensitivity test. These take about 3-5 days to finish, but they provide the most accurate method for diagnosis and treatment.

Nowhere on the Tamiflu packaging does it mention you can't drink alcohol while on this medication. However, my partner and I are at the end of our prescription, and on the 2 odd days we had alcohol (even a small lager, or one glass of wine) we both felt groggy and nauseous the following day.

The UK's NHS has published a leaflet which clearly says avoid smoking and alcohol whilst on this medication. And, if you have the flu or another viral infection it is probably not a good idea to drink and get dehydrated. You should NOT drink while taking it, the same as all prescription drugs.
