Pentids 200,000

Uses
Pentids (Penicillin G Potassium) is a type of beta-lactam antibiotic medication which is considered to be the gold standard form of penicillin. It is primarily effective against gram positive bacteria, however certain gram negative bacteria may also be sensitive to it. When administered, this antibacterial medicine begins by inhibiting the ability of transpeptidase (a type of enzyme) to cross link with peptidoglycan and thus bring about the formation of bacterial cell walls. This leads to the rapid destruction of the bacterial cells. Conditions treated include syphilis, cellulitis, meningitis, lung abscess, pneumonia and other bacterial infections.
