The active ingredient is called phenoxymethylpenicillin. Phenoxymethylpenicillin is an oral antibacterial drug belonging to the penicillin group. It has a bactericidal effect, inhibits the synthesis of peptidoglycan of the bacterial cell wall, which leads to its destruction and the death of the bacterial cell.
The maximum plasma level is reached within 30-45 minutes after taking the drug.
Phenoxymethylpenicillin is eliminated primarily unchanged (25% of the ingested dose) and in the form of metabolites (35% of the ingested dose) via the kidneys; about 30% is excreted via the gastrointestinal tract.
The dosage depends on the type and sensitivity of the pathogen, the severity of the bacterial infection and the patient's medical condition.
Penicillin tablets are swallowed whole with a glass of water about an hour before meals. Children can take it during meals.
The daily dose is distributed evenly throughout the day in 3 to 4 individual doses, if possible at intervals of 8 hours. In the case of throat, nose and ear infections, the total daily dose is divided into 2 individual doses, if possible 12 hours apart.
The recommended dose for adults and children over 12 years of age is 295-885 mg of phenoxymethylpenicillin (0.5-1.5 million units) 3 to 4 times a day.
The recommended dose for children under 12 years of age depends on body weight and age.
