Penicillin is a drug antibiotic that is commonly used to handle bacterial infections. In the body, this antibiotic will work to prevent bacteria from growing and multiplying at the same time killing mature bacteria.
Penicillins are made up of various types that deal with various types of infections and on various parts of the body. Each type of penicillin can not be used to replace other types of penicillin.
Warning
- Women who are planning a pregnancy, pregnancy, or breastfeeding, should consult a physician before consuming or using penicillin.
- Be careful for patients with allergic history such as asthma, eczema, and urticaria history, bleeding problems, high blood pressure, heart failure, kidney disorders, cystic fibrosis, mononucleosis, phenylketonuria, and bowel disorders.
- If you are running a low-salt diet, be sure to tell your doctor. Some types of penicillin medicines contain high enough salts and can give disorders to people with certain conditions.
- Consult a doctor if you are taking a contraceptive pill containing estrogen. Because the penicillin can lower the effectiveness of birth control pills.
- Penicillin can cause the test results of sugar content in urine to be inaccurate.
In case of an allergic reaction or overdose, immediately see a doctor.
Penicillin Doses
Penicillin dose for each patient is different. Dos are usually determined by a doctor based on several factors, namely:
- Medical disorders faced by the patient.
- Power of penicillin given.
- Number of schedules take penicillin daily.
- The interval between the required penicillin schedule.
While dosage of penicillin for a child is determined by consultation with the doctor, but usually adjusted to the child's weight.
Eating Penicillin Completely
Be sure to read the instructions on the drug pack and follow the advice of a doctor in taking penicillin. Do not increase or decrease dose without doctor's permission.
All types of penicillin, except amoxicillin, penicillin V, pivampicillin, and pivmecillinam, are usually consumed with one full glass (approximately 250 milliliters) of mineral when the stomach is empty. Avoid consumption of acid drinks, such as orange juice, an hour after taking penicillin. This type of drink can interfere with drug work in the body.
Try to maintain the amount of penicillin content in the blood and urine, by dividing the time range between the same medication schedule. For example, if prescribed to consume 4 times a day, then the best time span of taking the medicine is every 6 hours. Do not relieve or reduce the duration of treatment without doctor's permission.
For those who are taking medication, make sure to use a special spoon to determine the exact dosage. It is not recommended to eat milk with a standard amount of tablespoon.
Be sure to spend the medication according to the doctor's instructions, although you may feel better after consuming it for a few days. This is to prevent infections completely and to prevent the infection from recurring.
