Function and Efficacy

This product is a semi-synthetic penicillin that is acid-resistant and penicillinase-resistant. It has antibacterial activity against Gram-positive cocci and Neisseria.

Special Population Medication

Precautions for children: This product can compete with bilirubin for binding to serum proteins, so it should be used with caution in newborns with jaundice. Precautions for pregnancy and lactation: There is a lack of sufficient research on the effects of this product on pregnant women, but since this product can pass through the placenta into the fetus, pregnant women should fully weigh the pros and cons when taking this product. This product is secreted in small amounts in breast milk, so lactating women should use it with caution or stop breastfeeding when taking this product. Precautions for the elderly: The dosage must be adjusted when elderly patients take this product.

Drug Interactions

1. Chloramphenicol, erythromycin, tetracyclines, sulfonamides and other antibacterial drugs can interfere with the bactericidal activity of penicillin, so they should not be used in combination with this product and other penicillins, especially in the treatment of meningitis or severe infections that urgently require bactericides. 2. Probenecid, aspirin, indomethacin, phenylbutazone, and sulfonamides can reduce the excretion of this product in the renal tubules, increase the blood concentration of this product, prolong the serum half-life, and may also increase toxicity.
