PRESCRIPTION DRUG
Penicillin V potassium tablets are indicated in the treatment of mild to moderately severe infections due to penicillin G-sensitive microorganisms. Therapy should be guided by bacteriological studies (including sensitivity tests) and by clinical response. NOTE: Severe pneumonia, empyema, bacteremia, pericarditis, meningitis, and arthritis should not be treated with penicillin V during the acute stage. Indicated surgical procedures should be performed. The following infections will usually respond to adequate dosage of penicillin V. Streptococcal infections (without bacteremia). Mild-to-moderate infections of the upper respiratory tract, scarlet fever, and mild erysipelas. NOTE: Streptococci in groups A, C, G, H, L, and M are very sensitive to penicillin. Other groups, including group D (enterococcus), are resistant. Pneumococcal infections – Mild to moderately severe infections of the respiratory tract. Staphylococcal infections – penicillin G-sensitive. Mild infections of the skin and soft tissues. NOTE:

Abbreviated New Drug Application
PENICILLIN V POTASSIUM- PENICILLIN V POTASSIUM TABLET REBEL DISTRIBUTORS CORP ---------- PENICILLIN-VK PENICILLIN V POTASSIUM TABLETS, USP500 MG (800,000 UNITS) To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of penicillin-VK and other antibacterial drugs, penicillin-VK should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria. DESCRIPTION _Penicillin V is the phenoxymethyl analog of penicillin G._ _Penicillin V potassium is the potassium salt of penicillin V._ Penicillin -VK (Penicillin V Potassium Tablets USP), for oral administration, contain 250 mg (400,000 units) or 500mg (800,000 units) penicillin V potassium. In addition, each tablet contains the following inactive ingredients: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, magnesium stearate, polyethylene glycol, povidone, talc, and titanium dioxide. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Penicillin V exerts a bactericidal action against penicillin-sensitive microorganisms during the stage of active multiplication. It acts through the inhibition of biosynthesis of cell-wall mucopeptide. It is not active against the penicillinase-producing bacteria, which include many strains of staphylococci. The drug exerts high _in vitro _activity against staphylococci (except penicillinase-producing strains), streptococci (groups A, C, G, H, L and M), and pneumococci. Other organisms sensitive _in vitro _to penicillin V are _Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Bacillus anthracis, Clostridia, Actinomyces bovis,_ _Streptobacillus moniliformis, Listeria monocytogenes, Leptospira, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Treponema_ _pallidum _is extremely sensitive. The potassium salt of penicillin V has the distinct advantage over penicillin G in resistance to inactivation by gastric acid. It may be given with meals; however, blood levels are slightly higher when the drug is given on an empty stomach. Average blood levels are two to five times higher than the levels following the same dose of oral penicillin G and also show much less Διαβάστε το πλήρες έγγραφο
