Penicillin

Penicillin is a natural occurring antibiotic. The kind you get from a pharmacy has been measured and regulated for safety, but Flemming, the scientist who discovered penicillin noticed that bacteria could not grow where mold from a piece of bread had been. Mold on citrus also contains penicillin.

penicillin is actually the hormone used to help treat patients with diabetes

Actually it is a little different than a shot. With a horse you want to completely sink the needle into the horse and pull the plunger slightly to ensure that there is no blood (because you don't want the penecillin going into the veins, only muscle) and if there is no blood push the plunger to inject the penecillin. If there is blood you need to pull out and start over. As for where, it has to be in a large muscle area such as the side of the neck or the rump. You also need to put it in a different area each time. The penecillin makes them sore and causes a lump at the injection site. How much depends on the weight of the horse. 1 ml for each 100 pounds of body weight. You can find this out by weight taping them. Also, you would give more if they seem to need it because of infection. However, you would not give it to them if they have no infection. Ensure that you are using clean, new needles each time. You can cause a secondary infection if you inject them with a dirty needle. And finally, you would give it to them for at least one week but no more than two. If you do not continue with giving it to them the same time each day you would be doing this for nothing. For major infections you would dose 2 times a day for one or two days and then once per day. Ensure you do not hit bone when injecting and your horse will get upset, especially with the full round of injections because they will know that what you are getting ready to do hurts. Do not attempt to hold the horse and give the horse the shot and unless they are really unfazed by previous shots, do not tie them to give them the shot because they could rear or pull and hurt you, themselves, and/or tear down what you have them tied to.

No Penicillin is not effective on viral infections.

Type your answer here... Yes you can get hives if you are allergic to penicillin. Usually, hives are what happens the first time a person displays an allergic reaction to penicillin. The next time a person takes penicillin, the reaction escalates past hives to a much more serious reaction involving difficulty breathing (airways restrict). A penicillin allergic reaction can cause death. People who are allergic to penicillin should wear a medical bracelet or necklace that clearly identifies their allergy.

it is syngergistic

keflex) is a cephalosporin not in the penicillin family. They do have cross reactions so someone who is allergic to penicillins needs to be more careful and watch for signs of allergic reaction esp if it is given IV. I am allergic to penicillin but not to keflex.

it's garlic, it contains alicin a powerfull natural antibiotic which does not atack healthy bacteria in your gut.

gram-positive bacteria

There is no antidote for a Penicillin allergy unless the symptoms are serious, in which case you need to go to hospital. General reactions like a bloated face and an itchy rash do not have an antidote.

1mg = 1000 IU

Then do not take them yourself. Unless you come into direct contact with them, or accidentally swallow them yourself, you will be fine.

Penicillin is rarely used now a days. It is because it can cause anaphylactic reaction in few patients. Patient can die instantly out of this reaction. Even a test dose can lead to the death of the patient. Patient becomes unconscious in seconds. Patient gets severe spasm of the tracheobronchial tree and the blood pressure falls down. Pulse may not be felt at all. Nobody will like to take the risk of anaphylactic reaction of the penicillin. Never the less penicillin is still the life saving drug.

No, I believe I heard a nurse say that to another patient in my room.

It was first discovered by accident in the late 19th century, but was not used until the early/mid 20th century.

Mycostatin does not contain any penicillin. Mycostatin is an antibiotic that attacks fungal infections, something penicillin is not good at, and in fact penicillin may indirectly encourage a fungal infection.

Penicillin pills do not cure syphilis. Syphilis requires a special type of injectable penicillin.

Yes. Penicillin and sulfa drugs are antibiotics, and are not related to the ibuprofen drug group at all.

Deaths from infection of battle wounds was a major problem for all soldiers from pre-history up to World War One. In World War Two, control of these infections became much easier because of use of penicillin.

Yes these are the antibiotics which have the highest therapeutic index.. That too penicillin is exceptionally high... The only side effect which is considered significant from these two groups of antibiotics is Hypersensitivity reaction or allergis reaction which can be lethal also in some of them..

The reason is, both of these belong to a group of beta lactum antibiotics and they both have a protein structure and they are easily metabolised in the body.. If they ast on bacteria than they are antibiotics otherwise they are mere protein food, just like giving parentral nutrition... Hence they have a huge therapeutic index..

Drowsiness and dizziness are the most frequently reported side effects of anticonvulsants.

Lister discovered it alongside Mr Sanderson in the 1880s
