Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Benzathine benzylpenicillin is a β-lactam antibiotic. It interferes with bacterial cell wall biosynthesis, rendering the cell wall osmotically unstable hence causing cell wall rupture leading to bacterial cell death. Synonym(s): Benzathine penicillin G. Duration: 1-4 weeks. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Very slowly absorbed from the IM site into the bloodstream. Time to peak plasma concentration: 12-24 hours. Distribution: Distributed throughout the body tissues: kidneys, liver, skin, intestines (highest level), and CSF (minimal amount). Crosses the placenta and enters breast milk. Plasma protein binding: Approx 60%. Metabolism: Hydrolysed to benzylpenicillin. Excretion: Mainly via urine (70-80%).
