Antibiotic 'Penicillin'. Instructions

Antibiotics, included in the penicillin series, are used quite widely. They are used in the treatment of standard types of inflammatory diseases. Despite the fact that recently semi-synthetic forms of medicines are more common, the simple version of the drug Penicillin recommends the instruction as the first choice in the treatment of cystitis, otitis, angina in children.

This drug is the first man-made antibacterial directional agent. Before the discovery of the drug "Penicillin" in almost 90% of cases, pneumonia was considered a deadly pathology. During the opening period, it was a powerful drug that helped to save the lives of patients with rheumatism and pneumonia. However, after a few years, the effectiveness of the drug "Penicillin" began to decline in relation to most pathological pathogens. In this regard, scientists began to develop new antibacterial agents.

It should be noted that, along with high efficiency, the latest developments also had quite strong side effects. In addition, the bacteria themselves are constantly developing new forms of adaptation.

According to data from the latest microbiological studies, pathological microorganisms have a low resistance to the drug Penicillin.

The instruction to the medicine, characterizing its pharmacological action, indicates its ability to disrupt the synthesis of proteins in the cells of pathogenic microbes. Disturbance of the membrane contributes to the destruction and death of the microorganism. This explains the rapid bactericidal effect of the "Penicillin". The instruction also indicates the ability of the antibiotic (in contrast to other drugs) to provoke the death of pathogens, rather than slowing their reproduction.

Experimentally established and demonstrated a low resistance to the preparation of gram-positive microbes that provoke inflammation in the urinary system and respiratory organs, Gram-negative bacteria from the cocci group, including, among others, syphilis, gonorrhea, meningitis, and pathogens from the group of actinomycetes.

The dosage of the antibiotic "Penicillin" is recommended to be set according to the weight, severity of the patient's condition, and also the type of pathogen.

Single amount of the drug for adults - 250-500 thousand units (depending on the nature of the disease), for children - per kilogram of 10 thousand units. In the day adults are recommended not more than 2 million units, children - not more than 60 thousand units / kg.

Intravenous and intramuscular administration of the drug "Penicillin" during pregnancy and lactation is not allowed. On the recommendation of a doctor during the antenatal period in special cases, the use of an antibiotic as an external remedy in extremely limited areas of the skin is allowed.

Children can use the drug "Penicillin" from year. In this case, injections are carried out only under stationary conditions. At home, only oral (in the form of tablets) intake is acceptable.

To preparations of penicillin group carry such medicine as "Benzilpenitsillin". Instructions for use allow only its intramuscular injection, so the drug is only available in powder form for the preparation of injectable solutions.

The tool "Benzylpenicillin" instruction recommends for tonsillitis (acute stage), scarlet fever. The drug is also indicated for syphilis and other pathogenesis caused by treponemias. In the treatment of erysipelas and wound infections, the drug is used in combination with penicillin-containing medications of usual action. The effectiveness of the drug "Benzylpenicillin" is also noted in the prevention of acute rheumatism and scarlet fever, the infectious consequences after removal of the tonsils and teeth, as well as erysipelas.
