PENTIDS '400' vs UNIPEN IN PLASTIC CONTAINER
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Penicillin G binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the bacterial cell wall, inhibiting transpeptidase activity and disrupting peptidoglycan cross-linking, leading to cell lysis.
Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), inhibiting transpeptidase activity and peptidoglycan cross-linking.
400 mg orally every 6 hours.
250-500 mg intravenously or intramuscularly every 4-6 hours. Maximum dose 12 g per day.

0.5-1 hour in patients with normal renal function. Prolonged to 2-5 hours in renal impairment, requiring dose adjustment.
0.5-1 hour (normal renal function); prolonged to 2-5 hours in renal impairment
Primarily renal (tubular secretion and glomerular filtration); 60-90% of dose excreted unchanged in urine within 24 hours. Minor biliary excretion (<10%) and fecal elimination.
Renal: 60-90% unchanged via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion; biliary/fecal: minor, <10%
