PENICILLIN G POTASSIUM IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs PROBAMPACIN
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Penicillin G is a beta-lactam antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), inhibiting transpeptidation and activating autolytic enzymes.
PROBAMPACIN is a synthetic aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, causing misreading of mRNA and preventing translocation of peptidyl-tRNA from the A-site to the P-site.
2-4 million units IV every 4 hours for moderate to severe infections; up to 24 million units/day for serious infections (meningitis, endocarditis).
100 mg IV every 12 hours over 30 minutes.
