Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Penicillinase-sensitive penicillin; inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), inhibiting transpeptidase activity, and activating autolytic enzymes.
Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), inhibiting transpeptidase activity and peptidoglycan cross-linking.
250-500 mg orally every 6 hours or 500 mg-1 g intramuscularly/intravenously every 4-6 hours for moderate to severe infections.
250-500 mg intravenously or intramuscularly every 4-6 hours. Maximum dose 12 g per day.
