PENICILLIN G POTASSIUM IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs WYMOX
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.
Amoxicillin is a semisynthetic penicillin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), leading to cell lysis and death.
2-4 million units IV every 4 hours for moderate to severe infections; up to 24 million units/day for serious infections (meningitis, endocarditis).
250-500 mg orally every 8 hours or 500-875 mg orally every 12 hours for 7-14 days; maximum 4 g/day.

0.5–1 hour (normal renal function). Prolonged in renal impairment (up to 7–10 hours in anuria).
0.7-1.4 hours (mean ~1 hour) in adults with normal renal function; prolonged to 2-6 hours in anuria.
Renal: 60–90% unchanged via tubular secretion and glomerular filtration. Biliary/fecal: <10%.
Renal: 60-70% unchanged via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion; biliary: <5%; fecal: <5%.
